Children, luggage and groups on the Stuttgart to Nuremberg train
Three things people worry about on the train from Stuttgart to Nuremberg and need not: children, bags and groups.

Put the numbers on the form and we handle the rest - including a transfer with enough room for everyone at each end.
Things to do in Nuremberg after the train
The reasons passengers take the train to Nuremberg are Toy Museum, Handwerkerhof, Christkindlesmarkt in Advent, Day trips to Bamberg and Rothenburg and Imperial Castle. Nuremberg is the medieval capital of Franconia, with the castle, the Christmas market and the bratwurst. Eat Schäufele pork shoulder, Blaue Zipfel sausages and potato dumplings while you are there.
We offer tours and transfers in Nuremberg as well as the train ticket - one conversation, one plan for the whole trip.
Best time to take the train from Stuttgart to Nuremberg
The Christkindlesmarkt in late November and December and the Spielwarenmesse in winter fill hotels; spring and autumn are mild; summer is warm; the A3 and A9 motorways around Nuremberg are slow at rush hours. On the train, the difference between seasons shows in availability more than comfort: peak-week departures fill first, so we recommend booking early for July, August, Christmas, New Year and Easter journeys between Stuttgart and Nuremberg.
Train, plane or bus from Stuttgart to Nuremberg?
Weighing a flight against the train from Stuttgart to Nuremberg? Add the time to the airport, check-in, security and the trip in from the arrival airport, and the train is usually as fast door to door and far less tiring - about 2 hours 10 minutes on board. The bus is the budget option, worth it for some travellers, slower for all. We book whichever suits you; on this route the train is our first recommendation.
Return train from Nuremberg to Stuttgart
We book the return leg from Nuremberg to Stuttgart just as easily, and normally 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 Stuttgart to Nuremberg cost?
The cost of the train from Stuttgart to Nuremberg is not one number: it changes with the date, the departure time, the class and how far ahead the ticket is booked. DB ICE prices the seats in tiers, so an early booking on a quiet mid-week departure and a last-minute ticket on a Friday evening can be very different fares for the same train. That is why Haqqi Tours does not print a price on this page: we check the live fares for your exact date and send you the real cost by WhatsApp, with the options side by side.
The figure we send covers the ticket, any compulsory seat reservation and our booking service; what you see through WhatsApp is what you pay. If a cheaper departure exists thirty minutes earlier or later, we tell you, because a Stuttgart to Nuremberg train ticket that costs less at a slightly different time is generally worth it.
Cheapest train ticket from Stuttgart to Nuremberg: how to pay less
Getting the lowest fare on the train from Stuttgart to Nuremberg is a matter of timing and flexibility. These are the levers Haqqi Tours pulls to find you a cheap train ticket:
- 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 passengers often unlock a lower rate
- Book early - fares on this route open weeks or months ahead and the lowest tiers sell first
- Travel mid-week and mid-day - Tuesday to Thursday departures after the morning rush are typically the cheapest
- Avoid the first and last trains of the day, which carry commuters and business travellers at higher fares
We are happy to be asked "what is the cheapest way to get from Stuttgart to Nuremberg by train?" - it is a question we answer many times a day, and the answer for the date you travel comes back in the WhatsApp chat.
How to book train tickets from Stuttgart to Nuremberg with Haqqi Tours
Booking a train from Stuttgart to Nuremberg with us takes a few minutes and one conversation. Fill in the form above with your travel date, whether you want a one-way or a return, how many adults and children are travelling and the class you prefer. Our team then messages you on WhatsApp to check your booking: we finalise the departures available on that day, the seats and the cost. You choose, we book, and the electronic ticket arrives in the same chat, ready to show on your phone or print.
- Step 1 - complete the form: date, one-way or return, adults and children, class
- Step 2 - we message you by WhatsApp with the available departures, the seats and the cost
- Step 3 - you confirm the departure you prefer and we arrange payment in the same chat
- Step 4 - we issue the e-ticket and send it to you; we stay in touch until you arrive in Nuremberg
If plans change, the same WhatsApp conversation handles it. We clarify the change and cancellation terms of the fare you chose before any payment, so there are no surprises later.
Timetable of the Stuttgart to Nuremberg train
The exact Stuttgart to Nuremberg train times change with the season and the day of the week, so we send the timetable for your specific date rather than a list that may be wrong by the time you read it. As a rule the service runs about hourly, each taking around 2 hours 10 minutes. Weekend timetables are sometimes thinner in the early morning; holiday periods add extra trains and sell out earlier.
Our advice for the timetable: choose the departure that fits your day in Nuremberg, not the cheapest one blindly - though we tell you both. A train that arrives at Nürnberg Hauptbahnhof in the early afternoon gives you the evening in Nuremberg; a late one lands you after dinner.
Is there a direct train from Stuttgart to Nuremberg?
There is a direct train from Stuttgart to Nuremberg operated by DB ICE, and it is the one we book unless you ask for something different. One ticket covers the whole journey; you keep your seat from Stuttgart Hauptbahnhof to Nürnberg Hauptbahnhof; children and luggage stay in one place. It runs about hourly.
Departure: Stuttgart Hauptbahnhof
The train from Stuttgart to Nuremberg leaves from Stuttgart Hauptbahnhof, in Stuttgart - stuttgart is the car city of the south-west, with the Mercedes and Porsche museums and vineyards inside the city. 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 S-Bahn lines S2 and S3 run from the airport to Stuttgart Central Station in about 27 minutes every 15 to 30 minutes, which is simple for the city centre; but for the Mercedes-Benz and Porsche museums, Hohenzollern Castle, the Black Forest or Heidelberg, a private car is far more direct and flexible.
- Keep the electronic ticket on your phone and the ID used for booking together - some operators check both
- Luggage travels with you: racks at the coach ends and above the seats, no weighing, no fees
- Cafés, kiosks and left-luggage are available at Stuttgart Hauptbahnhof for early arrivals
- Haqqi Tours provides a private transfer from your hotel in Stuttgart to the station on request

How often does the train from Stuttgart to Nuremberg run?
About hourly. We send the full timetable for your date so you can pick the departure that suits you.

Is Wi-Fi available on the train?
On many services between Stuttgart and Nuremberg, yes, though quality varies. Power sockets are at most seats, so devices stay charged.
What happens if I miss the train?
A fixed-departure ticket is only valid on the train you booked; a flexible one can be used on a later departure. We tell you which type you hold before payment, and if something goes wrong on the day our WhatsApp desk helps you sort it out.
Where does the train arrive in Nuremberg?

What if my train is delayed?
Serious delays are rare on the Stuttgart to Nuremberg route. If we booked your transfer, the driver tracks the train; if there is a connection, we chose a safe margin; and our WhatsApp desk is reachable throughout the journey.

Almost always the train on this route: about 2 hours 10 minutes from one city centre to the other, no airport transfers, no security queue and no baggage fees. We provide flights as well and will tell you honestly if flying suits your dates better.

Can I book the Stuttgart to Nuremberg train for a group?
Certainly. Give the number of passengers on the form; we reserve seats together and ask the rail company for a group fare where one exists, which often makes the train the cheapest way to move a group.
What is the difference between the classes?
Mostly comfort and quiet. The higher class gives wider seats, more legroom and fewer passengers, sometimes a drink or at-seat service; the standard class is perfectly comfortable for the 2 hours 10 minutes journey. We send the cost of each so you can compare.
