City of Stuttgart

Charmingly embedded in one of the largest winegrowing regions of Germany, Stuttgart is attractive on the one hand through its exquisite panorama, the beautiful squares, the noble castles and buildings with differing architectural styles and on the other hand through the diverse cultural offerings.

Prominent in the Stuttgart cultural life is the State Theatre Stuttgart with renowned plays, the world famous Stuttgart Ballet and the State Opera, which has been awarded many times and which often received the coveted title "Opera House of the Year".

The fascinating State Gallery Stuttgart or the numerous museums such as the automobile museums from Mercedes-Benz and Porsche are further magnets for the public. The "House of History" and the cultural mile enrich to a great extent the Stuttgart museum life. With around 2,200 square meters, the impressive building, which was built according to the plans of the British star architect James Stirling, presents an exciting overview of the history of southwest Germany.

In the Wilhelma, Europe's largest zoological-botanical gardens, you can gaze at more than 10,000 animals and exotic plants, exquisite garden art and architecture in the Moorish style.
