Things to do in Stuttgart, Baden-Wurttemberg: The Best Cultural Tours

March 7, 2022 Concepcion Newsome

Surrounded by one of Germany's largest wine-growing regions, Stuttgart beckons cultural junkies with its acclaimed ballet, opera and philharmonic, while auto fans get revved up over the Mercedes Benz Museum. There's more green space than urban sprawl in the festival-friendly city, home to Europe's largest zoo and botanic garden combo, the Wilhelma. The WŸrttembergisches Landesmuseum, in one of the city's oldest structures, traces area history from the Stone Age. Buses or subway provide handy transport.

This tour is the classic beginner's tour for those who want to know more about Stuttgart and also offers a lot of fun for locals on the Segway. On the Classic Tour we drive to the most famous sights of the Swabian metropolis, such as the Stuttgart City Hall, the Palace Square or the state parliament. Then it goes uphill to the Stuttgart Kessel. First we experience the picturesque panorama on the IGA hill in the Leibfriedschen garden. After a relaxing ride uphill, you can enjoy a fantastic all-round view at the Bismarck tower before continuing on to the well-known Weissenhof estate, which boasts modern, purist architecture. Finally, it goes to the emblematic Chinese Garden, in which one feels briefly transported to the other end of the world, before it goes past the Lindenhof Museum back to the city again.

Martin Luther is NOT the same historical figure as MARTIN LUTHER KING Jr. Germany is not the same nation as the US. Martin Luther was the great GERMAN reformer of the 1500s. Martin Luther King Jr. was the great civil rights American reformer of the 1960s. I keep trying to help this organization, but they don't seem to worry about trivia like historical facts.
