This audioguide is your own personal escort which you can call on at any time to accompany you on a sight-seeing tour of the city centre of Stuttgart.

Daimler, Bosch and Porsche are among the world-famous firms that have made Stuttgart a centre of economy. The award-winning Opera, the Ballet, the Musical Theatre and the Art Galleries all ensure that the standard of cultural activities in the capital city of Baden-Württemberg is comparable to any in Europe. In addition many international sports meetings and other events are held here so that Stuttgart regularly heads the rankings in the quality-of-life index for German towns. There are many sights of exceptional interest: on a walk through the town centre in the valley you can admire the Palace with its grounds and the Collegiate Church and explore the Covered Market, you will pass architectural highlights such as the Museum of Art and the New State Gallery, linger in the Königstrasse – the longest pedestrian precinct in the world – and gaze up now and then to the wooded slopes and rich vineyards that seem to embrace the city centre. And then at the end of the tour awaits the opportunity to explore the gastronomic delights of the Swabian metropolis.
So put on the headphones and set off on a sight-seeing tour of the highlights of the town.With a wealth of information, anecdotes and tips for restaurants, cafés and bars.

And those who have already seen everything can put up their feet and let the 27 sites unfold before their mind’s eye at home.
