Shopping in Stuttgart

Do you like to splash out in your downtime? If so, the city is a delight. The most popular place to go is around the Schlozzplatz, where you can find the famous Königstraße. Said to be longest pedestrianised street in the country, this is where you can find many of the city’s upmarket shops. For those more interested in high street brands, the city has various shopping centres, including Milaneo, which is the largest in Stuttgart.

Food and Drink in Stuttgart

As Stuttgart is a multi-cultural city, you will find all types of restaurants  here, serving anything from Japanese to Greek, African and, of course, German food. The many upmarket restaurants include Irma la Douce, which is a French-style restaurant on Katharinenstraße, and is the ideal place to go to mark a birthday or anniversary. Restaurant Delice, on Hauptstatter Straße, is another outstanding restaurant, and offers a delicious menu of Euro-Asian cuisine.  

Transport in Stuttgart

You can easily walk about the city centre, but cycling is a little bit trickier, especially in the hilly areas.
