Stuttgart Sightseeing
Sightseeing Overview
Other central highlights include the Schillerplatz, around which historic buildings such as the Altes Schloss, a palace dating back in parts to the 1300s, and the Alte Kanzlei delight the eye. Stuttgart is notable for its extensive range of museums and galleries housing numerous important collections.
The marketplace, although dominated by post-war architecture, does offer the historic Stiftskirche church. The art nouveau Markthalle nearby is a fascinating working indoor market, while a short distance to the south is the Bohnenviertel (Bean Quarter), the oldest part of the city, now known for its many cafés, bars and restaurants.
Away from the city centre, major attractions include the spectacular new Mercedes Benz Museum and the Wilhelma, a park containing a large zoo.
