Stuttgart, the city located between forests and vineyards, is an urban community in Southwest Germany.
As the state capital of Baden-Württemberg, Stuttgart is not only an industrial city with world famous automobile companies and state-of-the-art science and research facilities; Stuttgart is also a cultural city that has made a name for itself through its renowned State Opera and ballet programs, and the exceptional art collections at the State Gallery and the Gallery of Stuttgart.

Stuttgart's main attractions are clearly the hilly landscape, the numerous vineyards that stretch all the way to the city center, the many parks that make Stuttgart one of the greenest cities in Germany and the mineral water fountains that characterize this region as having the largest source of mineral water in Western Europe.
