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 WÂrttembergisches Landesmuseum, in one of the city's oldest structures, traces area history from the Stone Age. Buses or subway provide handy transport.

The exhibitions of the Linden-Museum, one of the foremost museums of ethnology in Europe, invite you to encounter the far-off peoples of this earth - a world trip under one roof. Attractive special exhibits and a wide range of events and education programmes add to the large permanent exhibitions. The broad collections with precious pieces of international importance comprise around 160 000 items from Africa, the Islamic Orient, Asia, the Americas and Oceania. You can obtain a deep insight into art and cultural history right up to the present day, as well as learn about everyday culture of non-European peoples.
This museum isn't at the front of most guidebooks that I saw, but it should be. We visited during the summer when I thought it might be busy, but we had the place almost to ourselves. The exhibitions are laid out geographically so you are free to choose which part of the world most interests you if you are pressed for time. An audio guide was available in English as well if you aren't comfortable with German.
