Stuttgart
About the City
Although Stuttgart, the capital of the state of Baden-Württemberg in southern Germany, is widely known as a leading commercial center and the home of two major automobile manufacturers, it is also one of Germany’s most appealing cities for tourists. A pair of outstanding art museums, two state-of-the-art automobile museums, one of Europe’s top zoos, sumptuous palaces, and one of Germany’s largest Christmas markets draw visitors year-round. Several architectural landmarks represent Baroque, Art Nouveau, Modernist, and contemporary styles. Stuttgart sits in a bowl-like terrain, almost completely surrounded by steep hills that are covered in forests and vines. The green that frames the city spills into broad parks and gardens that give it’s center a spacious feel.
Stuttgart is easy for tourists to reach and tour, with its Hauptbahnhof (main railway station) right in the center, within a short walk of the main attractions. The excellent S-Bahn system is easy to use and connects the city center to the airport and outlying attractions.
