The Trade Fair City

Thanks to its direct location at Stuttgart Airport and on the A8 and B27 motorways, arrival and departure are particularly convenient – whether by plane, train, or car.
ℹ️ Leinfelden-Echterdingen has around 40,000 inhabitants and consists of the districts Leinfelden, Echterdingen, Musberg, and Stetten. The city scores with its perfect location between Stuttgart, the airport, the trade fair, and nature. If you have time to relax, you can enjoy an evening in the idyllic Siebenmühlental. Shopping fans can reach Stuttgart city center in just a few minutes, combining business with leisure and enjoyment.
