STUTTGART

MORE THAN MOTORS

It may not be one of the most famous cities in Germany, but I’ve been to Stuttgart a few times and love everything it offers!

Michael Turtle – TIME TRAVEL TURTLE

When you’re planning a trip to Germany, it’s pretty normal to include the big cities – Berlin, Munich, Frankfurt, maybe even Hamburg. But poor little Stuttgart is so often left off the itinerary of a normal travellers.

It’s a shame, because Stuttgart actually has so much to offer visitors – from the famous Mercedes-Benz Museum, to the beautiful Ludwigsburg Palace, and even a museum about pigs!

Stuttgart is a city with a beating heart and you’ll see that in the pride that’s gone into the wonderful art museums, the interesting historical buildings, and the enormous annual beer festival the Cannstattter Volksfest.

If you’re interested in exploring the region – and I recommend you do – then Stuttgart is also a great base, with good transport links and convenient accommodation options. You can easily get to places like Maulbronn Monastery, Baden Baden, or Hohenzollern Castle.

There are lots of things to do in Stuttgart and it can be hard to know where to start. I’ve put together this Stuttgart city guide that take you to art galleries, museums, viewpoints and much more. Plus I’ve got some tips on how to save money!

MOTORING HISTORY >> VISIT THE SIGHTS OF STUTTGART’S MOTORING STORY <<

Stuttgart is famous for its role in Germany’s motoring cities and for people who love cars, this is one of the most important cities in the world. There are lots of sights associated with Stuttgart’s motoring story that you can visit here.

Where the car was born

It was in Stuttgart that the modern car was ‘born’. Now the museum recognising the creator is looking back… and to the future!

I don't want to miss piggy

It sounds odd, but this is no porkie. The world’s largest pig museum is right here in Stuttgart, and it certainly hams things up!

Stuttgart's beer festival

It’s all a bit of a blur at the Cannstatter Volksfest. This is the second-largest beer festival in the world and nothing is done in halves!
