Highlights
We invite you to join your historical city tour of the capital of the state of Baden-Württemberg—and the global birthplace of the modern automobile Over the course of 2 hours, your guide—who holds a degree in Sociology and Communication—will help you discover (and understand) why Stuttgart stands today as one of the very best destinations to visit in Germany. On this tour, we will chronologically trace the various stages of the city's evolution. We will cover everything from its counts, dukes, and kings (in that specific order) to its meteoric rise following the Industrial Revolution and the invention of the car—an innovation that catapulted Stuttgart onto the global stage. Naturally, we will also highlight its political significance as a state capital, its signature annual festivals (home to some of Germany’s most popular wine and beer festivals, as well as your renowned Christmas markets), and its delicious traditional cuisine. We look forward to seeing you there!

About Stuttgart
Stuttgart is the capital of Baden-Württemberg, a car-making city in a green valley of vineyards, with palaces, museums and a Swabian table.
A bowl-shaped valley on the Neckar, ringed by wooded hills and vineyards, holds Stuttgart. Mercedes-Benz and Porsche both have their headquarters here, and each has its own museum. The Schlossplatz is dominated by the Neues Schloss, a baroque palace, and the Staatsgalerie holds art from the old masters to the modern age.
