What travelers are saying
- NNWSLARRYNewport News, VA639 contributionsThis was one of the best museum I have ever visited. Once you pay your entrance fee you take an elevator to the top floor and work your way down the spiral walkway. At the top is the first Benz engines and as you walk down the pathway you can see the evolution of the cars. You are not rushed you can take as much times as you like and along the walls they have the history of the company, even recounting their participation in WW2. This museum is a minimum 3 hour visit. Luckily on the day we went their was a Mercedes car show with people bringing their amazing cars to show off.Written April 23, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The gardens are beautifully designed and in great condition. Highly recommended for several hours. Only negative is the very pricey food and beverage options in the park.Written June 23, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Christina L8 contributionsI attended Strotmanns with some family friends from the area and although I didn't speak much german the show was still hilarious and magical! Strotmann is a fantastic magician and true showman. The lounge is gorgeous and the drinks were great, it really made for a whole package experience. Highly recommend!Written May 28, 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- VadimMurmansk, Russia26,930 contributionsIf you do not see the square in reality, then you can imagine a square with a castle in the middle like Vincennes or the Bastille demolished by the sans-Culottes. Something like this probably happened before. At least there was a military platz, but that's in the distant past. The castle in the center that gave the square its name is baroque with elements of classicism and looks more like a palace, and the square can be called more like a Palace Square as in St. Petersburg. Fortunately, the grateful liberals of Stuttgart put the corresponding column in honor of King William, who granted them a bicameral parliament. Very nice fountains. In one of them the figures are original, and in the second the sculptures were stolen in 1945 in the confusion of the Franco-American occupation. If you look at the New Castle, then the art building of the Württemberg Art Association adjoins it on the left. Next to it is the Queen Olga building, favored by the Dresdner Bank. To the right of the new castle will be the Old Castle, next to which is a memorial to Colonel Klaus Stauffenberg, the organizer of the assassination attempt on Hitler in July 1944. Klaus' father held a high position at the court of Wilhelm II, the last king of Württemberg. Behind the back there are two buildings of the Konigsbau, built in the style of late classicism in 1855-1859. Behind the right is a partially transparent glass cube of the Art Museum, built on the site of the Crown Prince's palace destroyed during the 1944 air raid.Written November 4, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- jpcheshire1615Wilmslow, UK499 contributionsWe had less than two hours to spend in the Nationalgalerie which was nowhere near enough to see more than a fraction of what was available. We looked at some of the nineteenth and twentieth century art. Many of the big names of the are represented - paintings by Friedrich, Carus, Monet, Gauguin, Picasso, Braque, Leger and many more grabbed my attention. If only we had had more time! We will go back when we are next in Stuttgart.
At the moment a lot of building work is being done around the main railway station in Stuttgart. Signs that appear to be directing you straight from the station to the Staatsgalerie are in fact taking you to the Staatsgalerie U-Bahn station from where the way to the gallery was not clear. The work is due to be completed in the next few months, I think.
One oddity of the museum is that visitors are not allowed to take any bags into the galleries, including ladies' handbags. There is a free cloakroom, though.Written January 1, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

They have a great tower from where you have a beautiful view on the park and Stuttgart. You can walk and also play. There are even flamingos. A recommended place to go to.Written June 23, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- KCC09876Los Angeles, CA1,885 contributionsThe Stadtbibliothek Stuttgart is a wonderful way to pass time. Could easily spend the entire day just sitting here reading a vast amount of books on a variety of subjects.
The inverted pyramid architecture on the reading rooms is a sight to see. Every section and floor were books in English, German, Italian and other languages.Written February 8, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

It's framed by department stores, cafes and restaurants and runs through the Schlossplatz, a large open space extending onto the "Neue Schloss" the previous residency of the King and royalty of Baden-Württemberg.
This part is a picturesque square framed by colonnaded buildings where food and other festivals, including the awesome Christmas Market and the Weindorf are held through the year.
Gorgeous in summer for shopping, chilling, local food, beer and proper German wine.Written November 12, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

It’s a pleasant U-bahn trip from the centre of the city and then a flat 5-10 minute walk through woods to reach the tower.
The views from the viewing platform, even on a slightly cloudy December day, were gorgeous - we could still see quite some way in all directions. We liked the information panels telling you where other cities both in Germany and elsewhere were on the higher level.Written December 20, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Before letting us in though, they took our water bottles and drinks away, which I expected but still didn’t like. At the Neckar the rides cost in between of 7-15 Euros, and food was around 3,5-15 Euros, which isn’t cheap, but it it expectable at such an event.Written June 5, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- AlpeshColchester, UK32 contributionsWe visited the Christmas market on a Sunday afternoon, The market is massive so be prepared to walk! Lots to see, rides for the kids, decorated stalls, moving characters, lots for Gluehwein (mulled wine) of different sorts to keep you warm. Go there with an empty stomach as you will surely want to try all the different food! Lovely light displays on the main square too. Definitely added to the Christmas spirit!Written December 29, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
