Beautiful Stuttgart

Stuttgart, the capital of the German state of Baden-Württemberg, is one of Europe's most innovative yet greenest cities. Nestled in the dramatic Stuttgarter Kessel (Stuttgart Cauldron) and bordered by rolling vineyards, this dynamic valley seamlessly pairs high-octane engineering with a relaxed Swabian soul.

Founded as a ducal stud farm in the 10th century, the city grew into the majestic seat of the Kings of Württemberg. Having risen from the ashes of World War II to become a powerhouse of modern manufacturing, its rich history and contemporary architectural marvels now stand side-by-side.

Essential highlights

• • Mercedes-Benz Museum: A breathtaking, futuristic spiral building housing nine levels and over 130 years of automotive history, tracking the car from its very birth.

  • Schlossplatz: The grand, sprawling central square of the city, dominated by the majestic Baroque Neues Schloss (New Castle) and lined with vibrant gardens.

  • Wilhelma Zoo and Botanical Gardens: A unique, historical nineteenth-century Moorish revival palace complex that now hosts one of Europe’s most diverse zoological collections.

Quirky Wonders

• The Stuttgart Pig Museum (Schweinemuseum): A whimsical museum housed in a former slaughterhouse, officially certified as the world's largest collection of pig-related art and artifacts.

• Stadtbibliothek am Mailänder Platz: A striking, ultra-minimalist public library designed as a massive white cube, featuring an all-white, multi-story inverted pyramid interior.

• The Stuttgart Cable Car (Seilbahn): A beautifully preserved, 1929 wooden funicular railway that silently glides through the forest up to a scenic woodland cemetery.

Stuttgart is not only an automotive gem but also a premier baseball capital of Germany. During the prestigious PONY Europe PALOMINO tournament, the elite athletic facilities at the TVC Ballpark am Schnarrenberg transform into the ultimate stage for young talents competing for a ticket to the World Series in the United States.

Baseball has rich, passionate roots in Swabia, experiencing explosive growth since the Stuttgart Reds joined forces with the historic club TV Cannstatt 1846 e.V.. Local organizers built modern, state-of-the-art complexes from the ground up, which now regularly host European Championships and elite international showdowns. The dedicated fields of the complex embody this passion and belong to the absolute top tier of the German Leagues.
