A few words on Stuttgart
Vineyard terraces and the world's fastest cars.
Stuttgart sits in a bowl, the Kessel, ringed by forested hills and cut through by vineyard terraces that produce actual, drinkable Trollinger and Lemberger wine right within the city limits. It is a strange arrangement: one of Germany's most industrially serious cities, home to Mercedes-Benz and Porsche and their respective museums, wrapped in a topography that looks borrowed from the Rhine valley.
The car museums alone would justify a trip.
The Mercedes-Benz Museum in Bad Cannstatt traces the entire history of the automobile from the Benz Patent-Motorwagen of 1885, and the Porsche Museum in Zuffenhausen is a piece of architecture as interesting as the cars inside it. But Stuttgart is also the city of the Staatsgalerie, one of Germany's finest art collections, whose James Stirling extension from 1984 is a postmodern landmark still worth studying. The Weissenhof Estate, a 1927 housing exhibition designed by Mies van der Rohe, Le Corbusier, and Walter Gropius among others, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site at the edge of the city.

Stuttgart FAQ
Before you walk.
Yes, Stuttgart is quite hilly and the Kessel topology makes even short routes involve climbs. The city centre around Schlossplatz and Marktplatz is fairly flat, but heading towards the Weissenhof or the vineyard terraces involves significant gradients. Wear comfortable shoes with grip, and consider the cog railway or rack railway for getting between levels.
Stuttgart's U-Bahn, S-Bahn and bus network is excellent and covers the entire city including the car museums in Bad Cannstatt and Zuffenhausen. A day pass (Tageskarte) covers unlimited travel across all zones. The main station, Stuttgart Hauptbahnhof, is in the city centre and is a good starting point.
The Mercedes-Benz Museum and Porsche Museum are both popular and can get busy on weekends. Online booking is available and recommended, especially at weekends or during school holidays. Both are reached by public transport: the S-Bahn to NeckarPark for Mercedes-Benz and the S6 to Neuwirtshaus for Porsche.
Stuttgart takes Swabian cuisine seriously. Look for Maultaschen (pasta parcels in broth), Linsen mit Spatzle (lentils with egg noodles), and Zwiebelstuppe (onion soup) at traditional Besenwirtschaften, the seasonal wine taverns that open in the vineyard-owning suburbs. Trollinger is the local red wine, lighter in style than most German reds.

This tour was such a great way to see the city. The stories were interesting without feeling too scripted, and I loved being able to explore at my own pace.

This was a solid way to get to know Brighton without feeling like a tourist. The narration had depth and context, but didn't overdo it.
