Stuttgart, the capital of Baden-Württemberg, features a blend of architectural and industrial heritage from the Middle Ages to modern times. The city hosts two car museums: the Mercedes-Benz Museum with 160 vehicles across nine floors, and the Porsche Museum tracing the brand's history since 1948. The historic city center is organized around Schlossplatz, dominated by the baroque New Castle from 1746, and Schillerplatz, where a bronze statue of the poet stands. The Old Castle, a former medieval fortress now housing a regional museum, is situated near modern structures like the municipal library, a nine-story white cube recognizable by its central atrium. Green spaces punctuate the urban fabric, from Killesberg Park to the castle gardens, while Feuersee, a former fire brigade pond from 1882, reflects the neo-Gothic St. John’s Church. The Market Hall of 1914, decorated with floral and geometric motifs, offers local produce and dining options. Worth a visit are the surroundings: Esslingen am Neckar preserves 200 medieval timber-framed houses and a 13th-century church dedicated to Saint-Denis, while Ludwigsburg Palace displays the baroque art of living in southern Germany.
