Stuttgart Airport (STR) is about 13 km south of the city centre and is well connected by public transport. The S-Bahn lines S2 and S3 run regularly from the airport to Stuttgart Hauptbahnhof, taking just under 30 minutes. Taxis are also available and take around 20 minutes, depending on traffic. Long-distance and regional buses depart from the Stuttgart Airport Bus Terminal (SAB), located next to the terminal building.

The best time to visit Stuttgart is summer, when the weather is warm and most events are in full swing—but expect crowds. Spring and autumn are quieter, with milder weather and plenty of festivals, making them a great time for sightseeing. Winters can be cold, but if you don’t mind bundling up, the snow and Christmas markets give the city a cosy, festive feel.

Best Time to Visit

Citizens of the European Union (EU) and European Economic Area (EEA) countries do not need a visa to enter Germany, only a valid ID. Many other countries, including the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada, the United Arab Emirates, Australia, and New Zealand, benefit from visa-free entry for short stays of up to 90 days within a 180-day period. 

Visitors from visa-exempt countries must hold a valid passport and, starting in late 2025, will need to apply for an ETIAS (European Travel Information and Authorisation System) authorisation online before travelling. 

For those requiring a visa, such as travellers from some Middle Eastern, African or Asian nations, a Schengen visa must be obtained prior to arrival. All travellers should ensure their passport is valid for at least three months beyond their intended stay.

In Stuttgart, pharmacies are easily identifiable by the red 'Apotheke' sign and are widely available across the city. While Germany does not have large pharmacy chains like in some other countries, many pharmacies are independently owned and operated. Notable examples in Stuttgart include Westend Apotheke and Apotheke Stadtmitte, both known for their comprehensive services and central locations.

Set in a valley surrounded by vineyards and forests, Stuttgart blends green spaces with grand architecture and rich culture. From the State Theatre to the Museum of Natural History and the modernist Weißenhof estate, the city offers plenty to explore. Locals call it the 'paradise of Swabia' thanks to its parks, woodlands and laid-back feel. Add world-class museums, buzzing festivals and a love of food and wine, and you’ve got a city that’s easy to enjoy.

Palace Square (Schlossplatz) is Stuttgart’s central gathering spot, framed by the New Palace and the Königsbau. At its centre stands the Jubilee Column, topped by the goddess Concordia, commemorating King Wilhelm I’s 25th year of rule. Once a military parade ground, the square was opened to the public in the 19th century and now hosts open-air concerts, festivals, and parts of the Christmas market.

Hard to miss and easy to like, the Stuttgart City Library is a massive white cube just a short walk from the main station. Step inside and you're in a vast, white space that feels more like a sci-fi film set than a library. Books line open balconies around a light-filled atrium, everything quiet, clean, and geometric. Head to the rooftop for a surprisingly good city view, or grab a coffee downstairs and just take it all in.

Schloss Solitude sits on a quiet ridge just outside Stuttgart, built in the 1760s as Duke Carl Eugen’s rather extravagant idea of a hunting lodge. It’s Rococo inside and out—decorative, symmetrical, and full of detail. You can join a guided tour or just come for the surroundings: forest paths, a long avenue that leads back to the city, and a view that opens wide on a clear day.

Höhenpark Killesberg is Stuttgart’s go-to green space when you want a break from the city buzz. It’s got a bit of everything: a 40-metre spiral tower with city views, a miniature train that loops through the park, and a petting zoo with goats, donkeys, and llamas. During the summer months, the outdoor pool and wave machine are a hit, and there’s plenty of space to picnic or wander through flower gardens.

The Mercedes-Benz Museum is worth a few hours, even if you're not big on cars. Spread over nine levels, it walks you through more than 130 years of automotive history—from the first motorised carriage to modern electric prototypes—with around 160 vehicles on display. The building itself is a bit of an architectural talking point, designed like a double helix. Exhibits are well laid out, easy to follow, and occasionally rotate.

Perched atop Württemberg Hill, the Sepulchral Chapel (Grabkapelle) was built by King Wilhelm I in the early 19th century as a tribute to his late wife, Katharina. Designed by court architect Giovanni Salucci, the neoclassical structure features a domed rotunda and houses the tombs of the royal couple and their daughter. The chapel is surrounded by vineyards and offers panoramic views over the Neckar Valley and Stuttgart.

Wilhelma is Stuttgart’s unique zoological and botanical garden, set in a 19th-century Moorish-style palace complex built for King Wilhelm I. It’s the only place in Germany that combines a zoo and botanical garden, with around 11,000 animals from roughly 1,200 species, and about 8,500 plant species from all over the world. The grounds are a mix of historic architecture, greenhouses, and themed enclosures like the new Terra Australis area, home to koalas and other Australian species.

Located next to Porsche's headquarters in Zuffenhausen, the museum showcases around 80 vehicles and 200 smaller exhibits, all displayed within a striking 5,600-square-metre space. The building itself is an architectural highlight—a futuristic structure designed by Viennese firm Delugan Meissl Associated Architects, appearing to hover above the ground on just three supports. Inside, the exhibits are arranged chronologically, offering a comprehensive look at Porsche's evolution from its early days to the present. The museum also features a glass-walled workshop where visitors can observe vehicle restorations in progress.

The Kunstmuseum Stuttgart is hard to miss—by day, it’s a sleek glass cube reflecting the city; by night, its illuminated limestone core glows from within.

It’s home to the world’s largest collection of works by Otto Dix, including his famous triptych Großstadt.
