For a first day in Stuttgart, focus on the city centre: Schlossplatz, the Staatsgalerie and the Upper Palace Gardens combine the townscape, art and a green pause. If travelling by train, check the exact hotel address and the current route from the main station. Visits to Ditzingen, Leonberg or Filderstadt involve separate journeys.

Hotel details and booking
02Stuttgart · Friedrichstraße 3, near the main station
Its location near the main station and Königstraße connects Rieker with rail arrivals and city-centre visits. Combine Schlossplatz, the Staatsgalerie and Upper Palace Gardens in a day plan. Before arriving, check current station access and the actual route to the hotel.
Hotel details and bookingA location near the main station can suit a rail-based visit. Compare the actual hotel address with your arrival point and check the current walking route before scheduling your sightseeing.
The Staatsgalerie can be the main reason to visit Stuttgart. Check its collection and exhibitions, allowing time to look rather than fitting several museums into a tightly packed afternoon.
Schlossplatz and the Upper Palace Gardens offer different rhythms. Begin with the urban setting and then pause by the Eckensee; additional attractions can deliberately wait for another day.
Schlossplatz sits on Königstraße, framed by buildings including the New Palace and Königsbau. Use it to find your bearings in central Stuttgart. We suggest a circuit looking at the different sides of the square before moving on; visiting the square does not guarantee access inside the surrounding buildings.
The Staatsgalerie combines art with distinctive museum architecture from different periods. Use its current programme to choose the collection or exhibition that interests you. A dedicated museum visit gives individual works more attention than a brief detour. Check tickets and admission arrangements directly with the museum.
The area around the Eckensee adds an open garden setting to your city-centre visit, with cultural buildings nearby. We suggest a walk or a break of your choice. Adapt your route to current conditions on the ground, particularly if you want to return to the main station afterwards.
Start at Schlossplatz and look at the façades around the open square, followed by a break of your choice.
Visit the Staatsgalerie according to its current programme. Let your interests determine the length of the visit.
Continue to the Upper Palace Gardens and keep the rest of the day flexible. Check your return to the hotel or station.
Friedrichstraße 3 is the exact destination for PLAZA INN Rieker. Check current routes and connections at the main station. Plan journeys to the fair, airport and hotels in Ditzingen, Leonberg or Filderstadt separately. Kongresshotel Europe is temporarily closed and cannot currently be booked. Use the full address of your chosen hotel when planning your route.
