Neues Schloss (New Castle) and Schlossplatz, Stuttgart

Koenigstrasse

Koenigstrasse, Stuttgart

 8 Reviews  This is the main shopping street, and stretches for a full 1100 meters of heaving humanity from the main station, Arnulf-Klett-Platz, to Marienstrasse. This seething mass of shoppers has to be seen to be believed on a Saturday, and agoraphobics need be warned. I don't think I've ever seen a shopping... 

Wihelma

Wihelma, Stuttgart

 28 Reviews  Let me start with a quote from the Wilhelma website: "Wilhelma is also held in high esteem as living quarters by wild animals that do not belong to the fixed stock of the zoo. Fox and hare meet up on the meadows in the night; during the daytime visitors notice above all the many birds: grey heron...

Calwer-Eck-Bräu

Calwer-Eck-Bräu, Stuttgart

 3 Reviews  The ambience is very casual. We went to the buffet on Sunday and there was a large variety of choice, a salad bar, dessert area, hot dihses, cold dishes, breads, and such. Beer is extra and is good quality. I liked the salad bar actually, very fresh. The hot dishes were nice. We both had the pork...

Warnings and Dangers  

Traffic

Traffic, Stuttgart

If you are not on the priority road you have to yield to the right. Even if is a smaller side road or alley you still yield to the... 

Public Transport

Public Transport, Stuttgart

 3 Reviews  This seemed kind of odd and confusing to us. Trains just don't go North or South, East and West. You can get off a train going West and get on the next on the same numbered track and it will go East. So, be careful. If you miss a stop and think you can just get the next train on the other side going...
