Esslingen
by antistar
On the far flung reaches of Stuttgart's outer suburbs is the old imperial city of Esslingen. Once a proud medieval city, it is now incorporated into the environs of greater Stuttgart. While this means it has been encirled by industry, and picked up a few other of the blights of modern suburbia, it still has a fine collection of historic buildings, including the stunning Stadtkirche St Dionys. It's an easy journey from Stuttgart, between 12 and 17 minutes on the train or S-Bahn. It is outside the central 10 and 20 zones, so you will need to make sure your ticket covers the journey. The standard all dayers won't, but if you buy the full StuttCart, you will be fine.
You can read more about the town on my Esslingen page.
for halal food
by egain about Orient
This one is in Bad Cansttatt just a train over from Hauptbanhof. The good thing is just opposite the U-Bahn station. Meals are good but I especially love the background music they have..which is mainly middle eastern instrumental.
There´s variety of middle eastern delights. And they also have Meal set only for €4,80 which includes soft drink and fries. The tea and coffee is refillable. Opens till midnite Love doner kebab, hamburger (it´s hard to get halal meat burger), Yufka, and cäy (tea)
Kloster Bebenhausen

Bebenhausen is a small village near Tuebingen. You can walk there. Enjoy the beautiful old monastery and the castle. The whole little town is under heritage. Its like walking through an old medieval village in the past.
New Castle
by bugulma
New castle is close to old one but looks more powerful. Besides there is large square in front of it with some monuments. Now it's ministry of culture. The building works lasted from 1746 till 1807 by architects Nikolaus Friedrich Thouret, Leopold Retti und Philippe da la Goepiere.
