The capital of Baden-Württemberg region, Stuttgart, is known by their hard-working population and by its Schwäbisch dialect. The city also the home of the famous cars; Porsche and Mercedes Benz. This big city with a small town vibe can be reached by plane from Stuttgart Airport or by train. The public transportation works perfectly as in other German cities, so all you need to get is a travel ticket. Or if you have half an hour, you can get to know the inner city by foot!
If you want to start your journey with a beautiful view, the first stop must be the Palace Square or "Schlossplatz". In this beautiful square of "Neues Schloss" or the New Palace, you can enjoy the mesmerizing fountains, monuments and definitely a great beer. You can also then go for a shopping and enjoy many cafes at Königstrasse since the Schlossplatz is the extension of Königstrasse!
Another eye-candy building is Johanneskirche! This impressive church was built between 1865-1876 by Christian Friedrich von Leins. And with its gorgeous neo-gothic architecture, it is the best place to enjoy inner peace by admiring the amazing nature right next to the church. Also, you can be friends with some ducklings as well since this church is on water!
Not very far from Stuttgart -only 12 km-, you will arrive at Ludwigsburg Palace a.k.a "Versailles of Swabia" which is a massive baroque palace with absolutely beautiful gardens!
