SAMSTAG 15:30

BY CAR:
If you're coming by car, the simplest advice is to put the stadium address in your Sat-Nav and follow its guidance. Note that Stadionstraße is closed to traffic from 12pm before a match. 

Parking is limited at the ground though and the club suggest that drivers use the free car parks at 'P+R Schulzentrum Kuhberg' (Egginger Weg 40, 89077 Ulm) and 'P+R Sciencepark II' (Lise Meitner Straße, 89081 Ulm) before continuing onto the Donaustadion using Ulm's tram services (see below).
Parking is also available for €5 per vehicle at 'P3/Donauhalle' and 'P4/Volksfestplatz' at the Ulm Messe complex a 10-15 minute walk along Wielandstraße. Unless you've got a valid parking permit issued by the club though, don't be tempted to head for the P1 car park (Friedrichsaustraße 33, 89073 Ulm) at the ground. This is reserved for players, match officials and SSV Ulm staff on a matchday and it's strictly enforced with cars being towed away by the authorities from early morning.

PUBLIC TRANSPORT:
Tram 1 (Direction: Böfingen) leaves the Hauptbahnhof and crosses the city centre calling at 'Theater', 'Justizgebäude' and 'Willy Brandt Platz' before arriving at the 'Donaustadion' stop outside the stadium. The journey takes 9 minutes and with a valid match ticket, the buses, trains and trams of the Donau Iller Nahverkehrsverbund (DING) transport network are free to travel around on from 9am until three hours after the match. 

WALKING DIRECTIONS:

It's quite straightforward to reach the Donaustadion on foot and it should take you about half-an-hour to get there from central Ulm. If you fancy the walk and the beer isn't having too much of an impact on you, it's just a case of following the tram tracks east through the city centre - keeping an eye out for Tram 1 (see above) for reassurance that you're on the right 'track'. From the main station entrance, turn left and head onto Bahnhofplatz which soon becomes Olgastraße. Follow the tram tracks along Olgastraße for about half-a-mile until you reach Münchner Straße. Cross the junction onto Schwambergerstraße/Willy Brand Platz and follow the road as it becomes Friedrichsaustraße. After quarter-of-a-mile, you'll come to the junction with Talfinger Straße. Take a left here and you'll see the stadium over to your right.

Alternatively, the Donaustadion is an easy walk along the banks of the Danube. With the station entrance behind you, cross the road and turn right along Friedrich Ebert Straße. Continue past the C&A store until you reach the junction with Neue Straße. Cross Neue Straße and head onto Promenade. After about quarter-of-a-mile, you'll find yourself on the north bank of the Danube. Follow the river for about a mile keeping the river on your right side, and you'll see the stadium in the distance.

BIKE DIRECTIONS:
Since a higher volume of traffic in the area of the stadium is to be expected at home games, the club and the city of Ulm recommend cyclists to avoid the area for their own safety.

GETTING TO THE CENTRUS ARENA (AALEN):
SSV Ulm have done their best to make it as easy as possible for their fans to travel to Aalen and together with club sponsors Husqvarna have laid on a shuttle bus that runs from the Ulmer Messeparkplatz (P2) near the Donastadion. It costs €5 per person and information regarding departure times can be found on the club website before each game. If you're travelling by train, direct services run between Ulm and Aalen with the journey taking about an hour and costing €6.40 each way. If you're driving, use the free Greut Festplatz (Schützenweg, 73430 Aalen) to park up and it's a 10-minute walk along Kurt Früh Weg to the CENTRUS Arena.
