5.0 based on 8,161 reviews
The Museum celebrates the automobile invented by Carl Benz in 1886: it relates its history and tells its stories, bringing both alive by placing them in the context of technology, day-to-day life, social history and popular culture. More than 160 vehicles of all types are the main protagonists. They range from some of the oldest automobiles ever built to legendary racing cars and futuristic research vehicles. Together with other exhibits, they form the centrepiece of the permanent exhibition covering a total of 16,500 square metres in twelve rooms. This unparalleled world can be discovered on two tours that follow a 'Legend' and 'Collection' narrative.

A mazing museum of automotive history, brilliantly laid out in a logical fashion with very good information relating to world history as you start from the top at the beginning and work your way down to the present at the bottom. Lots to see and some great photo opportunities. Take plenty of time. 2hours at least. The shop at the end of museum is good but a bit pricey. And we were lucky, in front of museum was a classic car meeting that day. Many american muscle cars to see.

Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 583 reviews
With its rich collection of masterworks dating from the fourteenth century to the present, the Staatsgalerie Stuttgart is among Germany’s most popular museums. Both its impressive museum complex and its holdings mirror the link between tradition and modernity. The Staatsgalerie Stuttgart presents its superb collection on some 9,000 square metres of exhibition space offered by the old building of 1843, the famous post-modern Stirling Building, and the Steib Halls constructed in 2002. Among the prominent holdings are the approximately 400,000 works belonging to the Department of Prints, Drawings and Photographs, Early Swabian panel painting and outstanding examples of nineteenth-century Swabian Neoclassicism. The chief emphasis of the museum collection is undoubtedly the Classical Modern period with art spanning the years from 1900 to 1980. Special highlights here are Oskar Schlemmer’s Figurines for the Triadic Ballet of the early 1920s, Henri Matisse’s famous Backs (1909-‒30), numerous works by Picasso including the sculptural group The Bathers (1956), and the Joseph Beuys room installed by the artist himself.

A large collection of paintings and sculptures - among which there are certainly several great masterpieces - even for ordinary art lovers. But not only that. The Neue Staatsgalerie in Stuttgart, by architect James Stirling, is a masterpiece of postmodern architecture all over Germany. The construction alone is worth a visit. The water feature in front of the building with its green, curved windows, the exterior and interior architecture, as well as the large, round courtyard. Centrally located and easily accessible. Definitely worth a visit - for adults! Probably less suitable for children and adolescents. There are always special exhibitions. Can be visited well in every season.

The Sepuchral Chapel on the Württemberg hill was erected by King Wilhelm I. in memoryof his beloved wife Katharina, who died at a young age. Offering a spectacular view of Stuttgart, this Monument to eternal love is considered Baden-Württemberg's most romantic spot.

A small but worthwhile sight in Stuttgart. Very recommendable as part of a fall hike through the vineyards surrounding Stuttgart. The surrounding scenery is lovely and the chapel itself is also worth having a look inside. Be sure to enter the lower part of the chapel and play with the accoustics - very neat!

Solitude Palace is Duke Carl Eugen's most ambitious and most personal creation. An impressive architectural ensemble and spectacular views make it exceptional.
Reviewed By Moonamuslim
Beautifully built, splendidly designed from the outside and inside, a fascinating sight and a nice place to walk. Located on a hill, it offers a beautiful view of the surroundings. You can park nearby, but not directly at the castle. It is about 1km that you walk through an avenue before you get to the property. The Rococo Castle Solitude, which was built in the years 1764 to 1775, has some relationship with Sanssouci in Potsdam. The rooms inside have approaches from the classicist era. Very nice for a sunny afternoon. You can sit comfortably on the large meadow in front of the castle. The only thing - on the weekends, the wedding parties pilgrimage to the castle for photo shoots and besiege the rows of stairs and the property. If possible, come outside of this time, it's a nicer photo opportunity and a nicer sight
