Travel tips for Stuttgart

Stuttgart
Stuttgart is the capital of Baden-Württemberg, Germany with with a population of 590,000 or so. Stuttgart was founded in the 10th century; its name is a modern version of the original Stutengarten ("mare's garden"). Presently it is the 6th largest city in Germany. It is most famous for its automotive industry - both Porsche and Mercedes-Benz have their headquarters in Stuttgart and both have car museums. Stuttgarters are amazingly friendly people who will forgive you if German isn't your first or second (or any) language. If you do speak German well: beware of their dialect - Schwäbisch German can differ from other forms of German (be prepared to hear the word "gell" a lot!) They love to practice other languages (especially English). Stuttgart is a big city with a small-town atmosphere.

i like wandering around and do window shopping there.
but the most perfect day needis going to the schlossplatz in front of the cube, buy a coffee somewhere around, lay down on the lawn and watch people and the world pass by while just enjoying life.

 Wilhelma Zoologisch-Botanischer Garten
A large zoo with beautifully landscaped grounds.  We spent a long time at the wonderful outdoor polar bear exhibit, where you are separated from the bears by only a wall of plexiglass.  We spent a long time here.  Enjoyable for both adults and children.
