Stuttgart Travel Forum

I'll be in Stuttgart for two hours in August. Instead of just sitting at the station for two hours, I'm thinking of taking a stroll into town. Can anyone tell me how long (more or less) it would take to walk the following route:

From Hauptbanhof down Koningstrasse to Schlobplatz,
then from Schlobplatz to Marktplatz via Schillerplatz,
then into Muntzstr back to Schlobplatz,
then from Schlobplatz into the park area with the Art Gallery,
and then past the pond/lake into Puttitzweg and back to Hauptbanhof


I'll be in Stuttgart on a Sunday (after 11:00).

Many thanks.

Hello. We love German beer and go to Getranke's often. Where can we get Belgium beers in the Stuttgart area, or specificially around the Tubingen area?

Thanks.

Many years ago I caught a bus from the Hbf to the airport but as both areas have undergone a lot of changes in that time could someone tell me if this is still the case. Where does one catch the bus? I am familiar with the Ausgang that leads to Koenigstrasse. It was a bus direct to the airport, not a suburban bus.

Hi I am visiting Tubingen/ Reutlingen. I am landing at Stuttgart airport at aound 18:30 pm on a Sunday. How do I get to Tubingen or Reutlingen at that time. Or is it better to stay in a hotel near Stuttgart airport that night and travel in the morning?

Can someone please tell me how much does the bus ticket from Stuttgart to Frankfurt cost? I would be most grateful if someone answers soon.
Best regards from Croatia!

Need go to Siemens str. (Etap hotel) when arriving at the Stuttgart airport. Which line will take me there?
Thanks !

I would be arriving at Stuttgart at 6 am on March 30th, 2007. I would be travelling onward to Baden Baden to see the Black Forest. Please let me know if there is a bus that would get me there and if yes, the details of this bus (when it leaves Stuttgart, from where, which metro station is closeby, how many hours the journey would be.

Thanks much!

We were wondering what the best way to purchase tickets for train travel in Germany is. We visited last year, and got some great advice. Turns out that the eur-rail pass is expensive and most of the travel we did we just purchased the tickets as we needed. Is a 4 or 5 day pass the best way to go? Is there another we could get? or should we just buy the tickets as we need. Looking to travel between Frankfurt, Berlin, Munich and Hamburg.

Thanks for any and all info!

See you in Germany!

Hallo,

I'll be in Stuttgart for 10 days the first week of September. I'm traveling with two friends, and we would like to rent an apparment to have more freedom and this stuff.
I've found this site http://www.stuttgart-tourist.de/ENG/hotels/apartments.htm that's really great, but I have the problem that I don't know if the appartments are easily to reach by public transport. We are going to a sport event Porsche Arena, so something close to the centre or the S1, S2, S3 lines would be perfect.

I have to say that I'm feeling stupid with the directions and everything, and everytime I ask for some inforation in one of the appartments sites, they reply me in German, which I can't barely understand.

Any idea or advice?

Alex30 hostel has appartments now but it's up to 2 people only...

Thanks in advance

Would you recommend staying at this lake for a couple days? Is it too touristy? Expensive? Any recommendations on places to stay (good area). We like to stay cheapy but would like to have a balcony with a view of the lake. Is staying near Lake Schluchsee a better choice? Thanks.

Hello - We will be arriving in Stuttgart for the Intervitis Trade Fair at Landesmesse Stuttgart GmbH in April and would sure appreciate any help for hotel ideas. I would like to go sightseeing while my husband attends the show, therefore we would like to be close to a train, etc. that goes to the fair and within walking distance of places which I could explore on my own. We are flying into Frankfurt and will be travelling by train to Stuttgart. Also, any suggestions as to what I would be able see and do would be greatly appreciated. Have never been to Stuttgart before and am looking forward to our visit.
We will also be in Heilbronn so any suggestions for hotel, sightseeing there would also wonderful too.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi. I have some people staying with us who want to go down to Switzerland to see the alps (they don't care which area, just the alps they said). They are looking to get there using public transportation. They are leaving on a Sunday and returning on Monday. I looked up some rail prices and they were really high. Maybe you guys know some better sites than I do. Thanks.

... will be arriving at the Stuttgart airport on march 27 for a 3 week round trip to places in Germany in a rental car we pick up at the Etap Hotel Stuttgart, Siemensstr.
I am sure there are quite a few places of interest, so we may stay 2-3 days before we get on the road. Because the Rental car outfit is quite some distance from the Airport, would a taxi ride be very expensive?
Any recommmendations as to where to stay for that time (we are a couple) nothing too expensive, but with breakfast and maybe airport shuttle? Perhaps even a B&B or Pension?

On another note, has anyone used one of those "Becker" Navigationsgerät in a car that can be rented at an additional 4.00 euro/day? Are they worth the extra expense? We are planning to make a round trip of about 2000 km, icl. the black forest, Bodensee, Rhein area, Salzburg etc. By the way, I do speak german, but am from Canada.

Any hints are more than just appreciated.

Hi,
Have checked the german rail website and found special offers "sparpreis 50" and "europa spezial", the latter being exceptionally cheap. Can anyone elaborate the conditions/restrictions for these 2 options. We (2 adults) are planning to buy the tickets through the internet and I'm afraid to order something which will not be correct - these tickets are not refundable (or at least there is a certain fine for cancelling).
Any assistance will be much appreciated.

Hi,

does anyone know of any nice walks between 2 and 4 hours in length, that can be found within a 30min train ride of Stuttgart city centre?

thanks in advance for any help

Hi everyone!

Can anyone tell me if there is an American pub or a club in Stuttgart area? My husband would like to see some Amrican football games over there and relive the atmosphere from the time he used to live there.

Thanks in advance!

Hello. Does anyone know if there is a way to reserve 6 seats at a table in any of the tents this Saturday?

Greetings from Minneapolis USA.

I will be in Stuttgart the first week of October. My friend works there and will
be busy during the days. I am a avid tennis player and looking for people to
play tennis with (and meet) and maybe grab a beer for some conversation.

Do you happen to know how I could make connections with other tennis players in
Stuttgart?

Your help is appreciated.
