Volkswagen Arena
The Volkswagen Arena is the home of VFL Wolfsburg. The stadium has a capacity of 30,000, of which 8,000 standing places that can be converted into 4,000 seats for international matches.
The Volkswagen Arena was built between May 2001 and December 2002. The stadium officially opened on the 13th of December 2002, with the first match between Wolfsburg and Stuttgart (1-2) played two days later. The total cost of the project was €53 million.
The stadium furthermore counts with 1,434 business seats, 31 VIP lodges with room for 332 people, and a skylounge that can seat 56 people.
Getting there
The Volkswagen is located just north-east of Wolburg’s main railway station and city centre. The walk to the stadium, during which you cross the railroad tracks and a canal, will take about 15 to 20 minutes.
The stadium sits right next to the Volkswagen factories and the Autostadt theme park, one of Germany’s most popular attractions.
By car, from the A39 (which connects with the A2 just south of Wolfsburg), take exit 3 Wolfsburg-West. Follow the L321 into the city, and, after having passed the railway station, take the ramp left to Vorsfelde / Nordstadt. Take the first exit after the bridge (Berliner Brücke). The stadium will be clearly visible from the bridge.
Address: In den Allerwiesen 1, 38446 Wolfsburg
