Stuttgart Highlights: Palace Squares, Old Town & Car City
From the golden Mercedes star to royal palaces and vine-clad hills
De quoi parle cette balade ?
Welcome to Stuttgart, the capital of Baden-Württemberg, cradled in a green bowl of vine-covered hills where the automobile was born. This walk gathers the city's essential sights into one easy loop through the heart of the old town. Starting on the lively Königstraße, you'll wander past Gothic churches and royal palace squares, dip into a glittering Art-Nouveau market hall, and finish among the masterpieces of the Staatsgalerie. Along the way you'll trace three threads that define Stuttgart: its palaces and kings, its old-town heart, and its restless spirit of engineering and wine. Let's begin.
