Lifestyle – Stuttgart

This pulsating city captivates visitors from all over the world by virtue of its unique situation and magnificent panoramic views. Exciting contrasts between historic and modern buildings bear witness to its past and present – so walking through the centre of town is like taking a stroll through architectural history. But as well as architecture, art also enjoys high priority in StuttgART.

A number of highly interesting museums also attract visitors, especially the Mercedes-Benz and Porsche automobile museums. For entertainment there are also many enjoyable events, such as the traditional Stuttgart Beer Festival (Cannstatter Volksfest), one of the greatest bear festivals in the world, the Stuttgart Wine Festival (Stuttgarter Weindorf) or one of the most loveliest Christmas Market in Europe. And Stuttgart is a veritable shoppers' paradise. Along the Königstrasse, Germany's longest pedestrian precinct, large, modern department stores rub shoulders with branches of well-known international chains.

Want to turn night into day in Stuttgart? There are plenty of opportunities, depending on what you're looking for. The best way to enjoy the nightlife in the heart of the state capital is on foot. Many of the wine taverns, bars, pubs and discos are in the middle of town. And it's no problem getting home with a night bus or taxi, even late at night or perhaps even in the small hours of the morning.
