A full day in Stuttgart

We have never been to Stuttgart but I’m interested in spending a day there. It’s silly, but since I was a child, I enjoyed saying Stuttgart because my parent’s friend was from Stuttgart! :-)

So if you’ve been there, please share the things you enjoyed most.

The Mercedes-Benz museum is very good. I'm not into cars at all, but I really enjoyed it. It's more like a history of transportation. We also went across town to Porsche, which I didn't enjoy nearly as much.

We spent a few days there and we loved it. We’re into cars so we did Mercedes and Porsche - if you only do one, Mercedes is the way to go.

In addition, the city itself has a nice pedestrian core, a few good museums, and then this cool paternoster in the city hall. It’s an open-style elevator and it was just incredibly interesting to see.

I go to Stuttgart a couple times a year. It's not a good city to drive through, there are a huge number of traffic cameras, but it's got the Porsche Museum, the Mercedes Benz Museum, a great Zoo, and a world class museum full of dinosaurs. The Planetarium is pretty good. It really depends on what you're interested in.
