Mini-Guide To Stuttgart
Stuttgart is a very interesting city to visit. As the capital of Baden-Wurttemberrg, it is one of the most influential cities in southern Germany and having been founded as early as 950 AD it has enjoyed being a centre for commerce and trade for many centuries. Now its economy is based on technology and the motor industry with Porsches and Mercedes Benz cars all produced here, or in the locality. This gives the city a really affluent edge, which is reflected in some of the high class shops which are prevalent in Stuttgart, some fantastic restaurants, as well as the culture on offer, which is almost unrivalled throughout southern Germany.
