Stuttgart Vacation Guide

With a population near 600,000 (or 2 million if you include the suburbs), Stuttgart is the 5th largest city in Germany. This industrial city is home to Porsche and Mercedes, with museums and showrooms. The city is surrounded by vineyards and produces delicious wine which is little known outside of the area. The main shopping district is along Koenigstrasse, across the main train station (Hauptbahnhof). Both the New Palace and Old Castle are among other historical buildings on or near this street. The TV Tower (Fernsehturm) provides a wonderful overview of the city and surrounding region.

Mercedes-Benz Arena (Neckarstadion) is often home to football (soccer) games of local team VFB Stuttgart. It can be reached by U-Bahn line U11 or on the S-Bahn line S1.

There is also great nightlife going on in this city. Some of the places don't close until the sun comes up!

Stuttgart airport lies directly next to the important A8 Autobahn, connecting Stuttgart with Munich and Salzburg (Austria)
The airport has a growing capacity and offers direct flights to major destinations in Europe and the U.S.

Currently one of the largest city developing projects (Stuttgart 21) is being launched, which consists of the total reconstruction of Stuttgart's railway system and connection. The main station is about to be completely reconstructed and to be build subcutaneously.
