Cheapest train ticket from Nuremberg to Stuttgart: how to pay less

The cheapest train ticket from Nuremberg to Stuttgart is almost always the one booked earliest for an off-peak departure. Our staff applies the same rules on every booking:

• Tell us if your dates are flexible - moving by a day, or by an hour, frequently halves the fare
• Ask about children's, youth and senior fares - most operators on this route discount them
• Book both directions together - a return or two singles, whichever comes out cheaper on your dates
• Choose a fixed-departure ticket if your plans are certain; flexible tickets cost more
• For families and groups, ask about group fares - four or more travellers often unlock a lower rate
• Book early - fares on this route open weeks or months ahead and the lowest tiers sell first

When you complete the form, mention if you are flexible. We compare the fares across the day and send the cheapest Nuremberg to Stuttgart train ticket first, then the alternatives.

Departure: Nürnberg Hauptbahnhof

The train from Nuremberg to Stuttgart leaves from Nürnberg Hauptbahnhof, in Nuremberg - nuremberg is the medieval capital of Franconia, with the castle, the Christmas market and the bratwurst. Plan to be at the station about 20 to 30 minutes before departure: enough to find the platform on the boards, pass any ticket gate or security check the station uses, and board without hurrying. Getting there: The U2 underground runs from the airport to the Hauptbahnhof in about 12 minutes and suits a central hotel with light luggage; a private car is simpler for the Messe, Bamberg, Rothenburg, Regensburg or Würzburg, for the Nazi Party Rally Grounds, or an early or late flight.

• Cafés, kiosks and left-luggage are available at Nürnberg Hauptbahnhof for early arrivals
• Haqqi Tours can provide a private transfer from your hotel in Nuremberg to the station on request
• Just ask which hall or level your train leaves from - big stations have more than one
• Arrive 20-30 minutes early; the platform is shown on the boards shortly before departure

Arrival: Stuttgart Hauptbahnhof

Arrival is at Stuttgart Hauptbahnhof, and this is the moment the train wins over the plane: no baggage belt, no passport queue, no airport bus. Stuttgart is the car city of the south-west, with the Mercedes and Porsche museums and vineyards inside the city. We can have a Haqqi Tours driver at the exit with your name, or simply tell you the best way to your hotel by metro or taxi.

Arriving late? We note your arrival time and, if you have booked a transfer, the driver tracks the train, so a delay costs you nothing.

Classes and what it is like on board the Nuremberg to Stuttgart train

What is the train from Nuremberg to Stuttgart like inside? Modern coaches with reserved seats, tables for two or four, racks for suitcases, sockets and usually Wi-Fi of varying quality. In 2nd class and 1st class the differences are space and quiet more than anything else. Over about 2 hours 15 minutes the extra comfort of the higher class is worth it for some passengers and not for others; we tell you the cost of both and let you choose.

• Quiet coaches and family areas on selected services - let us know when booking
• Bicycles, pushchairs and large luggage accepted within the rail company's rules, which we explain
• Pets are allowed on many services with a small ticket - tell us if one is travelling
• Reserved seats with tables, power sockets and luggage racks

Things to do in Stuttgart after the train

For the train itself, spring and autumn bring the best mix of availability and fares; summer and holiday periods sell out earliest, so book the Nuremberg to Stuttgart train as soon as your dates are fixed. Winter services run normally, with occasional weather delays on mountainous or coastal stretches.

Buses exist and are cheap, but for comfort and reliability the train is the option Haqqi Tours recommends first.

Return train from Stuttgart to Nuremberg

We book the return leg from Stuttgart to Nuremberg just as easily, and generally on the same confirmation. Booking both directions together lets us compare a return fare against two singles and choose the cheaper combination for your dates. Tell us the day you want to come back on the form and we send both directions with the cost.

How much does the train from Nuremberg to Stuttgart cost?

Train ticket prices from Nuremberg to Stuttgart move like flight fares: the earlier you book and the quieter the departure, the less you pay. The class you choose, whether you want a refundable ticket, a seat reservation or a return, and whether children are travelling all change the total. Rather than quote a figure that will be out of date tomorrow, Haqqi Tours checks the fare for the day you want to travel and sends it to you by WhatsApp before you decide.

Ask us for two or three departures and we send the cost of each, so you can see how much the time of day changes the Nuremberg to Stuttgart train fare. We also flag family and group fares when they apply, which is where most people save the most.
