City in Germany
4 things to see
Stuttgart is an automotive city surrounded by vineyards, with the Mercedes and Porsche museums, a hilltop TV tower, and Swabian food specialties that are hearty and affordable. The Schlossplatz and the palace gardens that run down to the river are free to wander, and the vineyard paths on the slopes around the city cost nothing to walk. Swabian staples like Maultaschen and Spaetzle are filling, cheap fuel for a day on foot. Stuttgart pairs well with a wider southern-Germany loop toward Munich.
What to see
What each one costs, where the cost is known.
This hilltop park above the city center features terraced gardens, a small free-admission animal enclosure, and a miniature railway. The Killesbergturm observation tower offers free panoramic views over Stuttgart's valley basin and the surrounding vineyards.
Stuttgart's Art Nouveau market hall from 1914 houses over 30 vendors selling fresh produce, international street food, and regional specialties. Browsing is free, and assembling a picnic lunch from market stalls costs far less than eating at a restaurant.
Stuttgart's central square sits between the Neues Schloss (New Palace) and the Königsbau colonnade, with fountain displays and wide lawns. Free to enjoy year-round, locals gather here on warm evenings, and seasonal events transform the square regularly.
Over 400 outdoor staircases connect Stuttgart's hillside neighborhoods, a legacy of the city's steep vineyard terrain. Walking the Stäffele routes is free and delivers hidden viewpoints, neighborhood gardens, and a cardio workout with better scenery than any gym.
