Stuttgart Germany

Famous for being the home of Mercedes-Benz's headquarters, many would have you believe that Stuttgart is a grey industrial city, but it could well be the greenest city in Europe. Over half of its surroundings are covered by orchards, meadows, forests and more than 500 vineyards that produce top-notch wines. The city is undergoing a complete transformation. The city is gradually changing the urban fabric, previously designed mainly for cars, to make more room for pedestrians. After the Second World War, the architectural gems of the city were rebuilt. Today it draws in nearly half a million tourists every year thanks to its impressive museums and an air of relaxed prosperity. The city is situated in a valley west of the Neckar River. Stretching south-west from the Neckar River to the city centre is the Schlossgarten, a vast strip of parkland and ponds, complete with swans, street performers and modern sculptures. Nearby, in the heart of the city centre, is the Schlossplatz, one of the most beautiful squares in Stuttgart. On the south edge of the Schlossplatz, the Neues Schloss, a baroque palace which now houses government offices, stands proudly. The palace stands adjacent to the Old Castle, home to the Württemberg State Museum, the main historical museum of the state of Baden-Württemberg. One of the most attractive and popular places is the Mercedes-Benz Museum showcasing unique exhibits of rare cars and cutting-edge models. It's also worth noting that the museum building itself is very interesting from an architectural point of view. Stuttgart is brimming with charm and a certain flair, offering visitors a range of historic and cultural attractions, despite its modernity.
