What brings you here?
Arrive by train
A location near the main station can suit a rail-based visit. Allow for the walk from the station to the hotel and start your sightseeing from there.
Build an art weekend
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.
Give your city day a green pause
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.

Explore the city and surroundings
01 / Stuttgart
Schlossplatz
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.
02 / Stuttgart
Staatsgalerie
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.
03 / Stuttgart
Upper Palace Gardens
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.
