Stuttgart is a dynamic city that has managed to do the seemingly impossible--become a top industrial center while maintaining a vibrant cultural life. Home to car giants Mercedes-Benz and Porsche, as well as numerous parklands and green belts, Stuttgart is flush with green, both monetary and environmental. A world-class ballet, the Staatsgalerie museum's impressive collections, and Germany's second-largest Oktoberfest, have all helped earn Stuttgart a reputation as a cultural mecca. And if that isn't enough, Stuttgart's moderate climate and unique Swabian cuisine will likely make this biggest small town's one of your favorite towns.
