In most years, shuttle buses drop fans close to the festival entrances and camping zones at the Nürburgring. Exact stops can vary depending on construction, traffic planning and which camping areas are open.

Look out for “Festival Shuttle” or “Rock am Ring” signs at bus stops in Koblenz and surrounding towns.
