About this venue
Hohentwielfestival Singen is more than a festival venue—it’s an open-air experience with a clear sightline setup and an atmosphere that naturally draws the crowd and performers into the same moment. Tied closely to the festival’s identity, the space is designed to highlight live energy and keep the show feeling close, even when the program is big.
Visitors often value the open-air setting, the overall visibility, and the way the layout keeps attention on the performance. In practical terms, that means strong clarity and comfort, with room to move around, grab refreshments, and reset between sets without losing the flow of the night.
Entry and gathering take place at Rathausplatz, Singen, Germany. For reaching the entrance, the easiest approach is typically to use nearby parking areas/garages in the central zone and follow signage on foot toward the square; local transit stops are also within a short walk.

About the city
Singen, a town in southern Baden-Württemberg in the Hegau region, draws visitors who want a strong mix of urban comfort and an exciting event atmosphere. Thanks to its location near the Swiss border and key transport corridors, Singen is a practical base for sports events and concerts, as well as a pleasant place for a full-day trip. The town blends lively everyday city life with the distinctive landscape of volcanic hills, so the experience does not end at the entrance to an arena or stadium.
Getting around is straightforward: Stadtbus Singen serves the city districts, while the VHB (Verkehrsverbund Hegau-Bodensee) network is a solid foundation for regional connections and stress-free planning. Flexible options such as Anruf-Sammel-Taxi (AST) are also available, and the rail hub Singen (Hohentwiel) makes transfers and train arrivals from the wider region easy. If you fly in, the most common choice is Zürich Airport (ZRH), and a practical alternative often mentioned is Bodensee-Airport Friedrichshafen (FDH), with simple onward connections into town.
For a tourist “bonus” before or after an event, Singen is best remembered for its views and walks at the foot of Hohentwiel, crowned by the impressive Hohentwiel fortress ruins. In town, an easy stroll through the centre and short breaks in cafés fit nicely into the schedule, while the Hegau landscape offers viewpoints and quieter routes to unwind. If you want to round out the experience, the proximity of Lake Constance and nearby towns adds more day-trip ideas without complicated logistics.
