About Stuttgart

Stuttgart is the capital city of Baden-Württemberg and the sixth biggest city in Germany. Located in south-western Germany, on the Neckar river, Stuttgart is an hour from the
Swabian Jura and the Black Forest. It is situated amidst a variety of hills, valleys and parks, in one of the largest wine-growing regions in Germany. This often surprises visitors who associate the city with its reputation as the "cradle of the automobile". Several major companies have their headquarters in Stuttgart.
