The 10 Best Free Things to do in Stuttgart, Baden-Wurttemberg

October 18, 2021 Matilde Konrad

Surrounded by one of Germany's largest wine-growing regions, Stuttgart beckons cultural junkies with its acclaimed ballet, opera and philharmonic, while auto fans get revved up over the Mercedes Benz Museum. There's more green space than urban sprawl in the festival-friendly city, home to Europe's largest zoo and botanic garden combo, the Wilhelma. The WŸrttembergisches Landesmuseum, in one of the city's oldest structures, traces area history from the Stone Age. Buses or subway provide handy transport.

Palace Square

Reviewed By Moonamuslim

The square, in the middle of Stuttgart's center, divides Stuttgart's pedestrian zone with all its shops, restaurants and cafés. In addition to leisurely walks and shopping, a place for a short break. Beautifully laid out with the green areas, fountains, music pavilion ... the new castle and the old castle ... special events such as open-air concerts or live broadcasts take place again and again. Not to be overlooked or avoided, is in the pedestrian zone with many sights around it, or nearby - and definetly worth to visit

Grabkapelle auf dem Wuerttemberg

The Sepuchral Chapel on the Württemberg hill was erected by King Wilhelm I. in memoryof his beloved wife Katharina, who died at a young age. Offering a spectacular view of Stuttgart, this Monument to eternal love is considered Baden-Württemberg's most romantic spot.

Reviewed By mjanke2018

A small but worthwhile sight in Stuttgart. Very recommendable as part of a fall hike through the vineyards surrounding Stuttgart. The surrounding scenery is lovely and the chapel itself is also worth having a look inside. Be sure to enter the lower part of the chapel and play with the accoustics - very neat!

Feuerseeplatz

Reviewed By Moonamuslim

In the middle of Stuttgart, nice to relax in between. The lake with its trees offers shade on hot days and the view of the romantic and neo-Gothic Johanneskirche am Feuersee is great. The south bank of the lake with the Feuerseepromenade was redesigned in 2016 with new seating and offers many seating options. With the turtles and fish in the pond, also a great place for families with children

Haus der Musik - Fruchtkasten am Schillerplatz

Reviewed By Squidhead - Costa Mesa, United States

I can only speak as a musician, and as a person who seeks out musical instrument museums everywhere I go in Europe - this was a delightful museum! I was there practically on my own and felt free to take photos of the wonderful collection they have. If you are a pianist you might enjoy some very interesting pianos they have on display, including a Pleyel which is for two people (one person at each end!!) and some wonderfully decorated show pianos (have posted photos of my favorite, gorgeously decorated Art Nouveau one from 1900). I wonder why it was not more crowded - I encourage musicians and music lovers to visit here.

We hiked up with our 2 younger kids. A nice piece of history with a great view. Many kids were happy to climb around the rubble as the adults looked out over the city.

Reviewed By pauln518 - Plaistow, United States

This public library is great, self-guided tour. Starting on the top floor and find the passage to the roof where you can see a great view of the city. Working your way down to the bottom floor it is evident that this library is a real helpful place to belong to (if you're a resident of Stuttgart). bring a camera

the Church is located just in front of the Feuersee, the view from there is really impressive. In the night the lights make the church even more beautiful.
