Stuttgart is known as the headquarters of Mercedes-Benz and Porsche yet it is much more than just a car city. One of the greenest cities in Europe, it also offers a number of first-rate art collections with the State Gallery being a special highlight for lovers of both art and architecture. If you are looking for some great shopping opportunities, go to Königstraße for well-known fashion chains; the area around the Stiftskirche for exclusive labels; or the Gerberviertel for individual boutiques. The city offers a rich cultural diversity, spectacular architecture, idyllic public parks, elegant shopping plazas and majestic palaces. For car enthusiasts, however, both automobile museums are not to be missed.
You can fly up to 5 times daily from London Heathrow to Stuttgart and back with British Airways and Eurowings.
