💡 Tips
- Due to the valley basin setting, the city air can be still; climb the 'Stäffele' (outdoor staircases) for fresh air and great views.
- The VVS public transport network is excellent; a day ticket is often cheaper than paying for multiple short trips.
- Visit the Mercedes-Benz or Porsche museums early on a weekday to avoid the massive weekend crowds.
- The local Swabian dialect is very present; learning to say 'Grüß Gott' (hello) is highly appreciated.
- If driving, avoid the main B14 and B27 roads during rush hour as the 'Kessel' (basin) gets easily gridlocked.

Stuttgart, the capital of the state of Baden-Württemberg, is tucked away in one of Germany's largest wine-growing regions and is known for its bowl-shaped topography. The city's history dates back to a stud farm founded in the 10th century, from which its name is derived. Today, Stuttgart is recognized as the birthplace of the automobile and is the headquarters for world-leading companies such as Mercedes-Benz and Porsche, whose museums are major tourist attractions. The city balances industrial prowess with a rich cultural landscape, including the renowned Stuttgart Ballet and the Staatsgalerie art museum. A unique feature is the 'Stäbele', a network of stairways and paths connecting the city's various elevations. The central Schlossplatz provides a spacious area for public events and relaxation. Every year, the Cannstatter Wasen hosts one of the world's largest folk festivals. The region is also distinguished by a high density of research institutions and universities. Stuttgart's MHPArena staged five Euro 2024 matches, including a quarter-final. The region went through painful 2024-2025 job cuts in the automotive supplier industry around Bosch and Mercedes-Benz.
