Stuttgart is a young city, yet the Neckar metropolis has numerous historical sights and a wealth of cultural attractions.
The heart of Stuttgart, the capital of Baden-Württemberg, beats at Schlossplatz with the impressive late-classical Königsbau. The adjoining Königsbau-Passagen is a great place to store. The collegiate church, one of Stuttgart's landmarks, stands nearby. The 15th century church is the venue for popular concerts, including the International Organ Summer in July/August. In Königstraße, Stuttgart's central shopping street, the art museum presents important paintings and sculptures. The museum is famous for its extensive collection of works by the painter Otto Dix. The Stuttgart State Opera is located in the Upper Palace Gardens. Enjoy the unique performances of the renowned orchestra and one of the oldest opera choirs in Germany. All attractions are within walking distance of the Hotel Steigenberger Graf Zeppelin opposite the main train station.
Car fans should not miss a visit to the Porsche or Mercedes Benz Museum. These can be reached within a few minutes by public transport.
The airport and the Stuttgart trade fair are 15 km away and can be easily reached via the direct S-Bahn connection via the main train station.
