Stuttgart Hotels and City Guide : Guide Home Page

Surrounded by wooded hills, forests and vineyards, Stuttgart is situated among the rising slopes of the River Neckar valley. The capital of Baden Württemberg, and the economic and cultural hub of the region, Stuttgart is the home of Mercedes-Benz, Porsche cars and Zeiss optical equipment. Legendary automotive pioneers Gottfried Daimler and Karl Benz began manufacturing their prestigious cars here and the Mercedes-Benz Museum charts the history and success story of this legendary team. The Porsche Museum, located near their factory just outside the city centre, is a shrine to the one million classic production and racing Porches that have been designed and manufactured since 1948.
