Stuttgart, information about the way to and from the airport

The city where the automobile was invented lies between rolling green hills and vineyards on the edge of the Black Forest. There are several thermal springs, two castles and some magnificent regional wine to get hearts racing. And with its many shops and cafés, the Königstraße shopping street has something for everyone. In the “Bohnenviertel” (bean district) in the old town you’ll find traditional wine taverns and places for younger people. Tip: visit Mercedes-Benz and take a journey through automobile history.
