They probably have an English audio guide but I would rather just look. It is hard to see everything in one day. I started in the Iron Age and then was just exhausted and ran through the final century. I had low expectations for this museum and was pleasantly surprised to see that the artifacts here are high-quality and in the source location. This area really was a heartland of early human history, even the Romans had territory here. This location is also an important part of Celtic history. So much importance! This region is really (like many parts of the world) a crossroad of culture. Anyway, wear good shoes, you are walking on old marble castle floors. The lighting of the artifacts is understandably low-- it makes taking photographs nigh impossible. They DO carry a lovely coffee table book of their collection in the gift shop. Online, their complete collection appears to be archived and online for display as well. They have a lovely gift shop (with great scarves) and a cafe with coffee and food. Entrance fee is 6 Euros per adult, very reasonable.

The location inside the old castle aka palace is quite spectacular. So definitely worth a go, but…read morewell... still a museum with some more boring stuff. Sometimes in the court of the castle you can listen to open air concerts.

Massive and impressive. The Mercedes-Benz Museum in Stuttgart (their global HQ is in Stuttgart)…read morecovers more than 135 years of automotive history from the first automobile to modern innovations. The museum spans 9 floors and displays over 160 vehicles and more than 1,500 total exhibits. The building's double-helix layout guides visitors from the top floor downward through a chronological journey of technological and design evolution. Plan on spending 4+ hours to see everything at a reasonable pace. Optional audio guides in multiple languages for deeper technical detail. Highly recommended for anyone interested in automotive engineering.

So glad I did the Porsche museum before the Mercedes-Benz museum! I would've been underwhelmed if…read moreit was reversed. Don't get me wrong, it was nice but they have...the 911. Mercedes is on a different level! Literally. 4 or 5 floors, I can't remember but you take these cool little lifts to the top floor and work your way down. I love museums and especially car museums when the earliest designs are only slightly better than walking with an 8kmph top speed! The top is the early vehicles and you walk down to get what resembles a vehicle. Then as you descend, note and note recognizable vehicles. Also, kudos to both, Porsche and Mercedes-Benz for not skipping history (looking at you 30s-40s) regardless of the travesties, it's part of their history. Meanwhile the US is trying to erase their not so stellar histories. But I digress. If you love cars AND history, you could literally spend an entire day looking at the development of various MB cars, busses, engine cutaways, and more. 100% recommend if you're in Stuttgart. Bonus points for a Cars and Coffee event going on during our visit. Love seeing people living older cars and preserving history!

It's a sickness how much I love it here. It's also a great place to bring people from out of town, they live to eat, shop in the store and visit the museum.

By far our favorite breakfast spot in the area!…read more Definitely worth making a reservation on the weekend as it gets full early, but if you go with a small party right when they open, you can usually get in right away. If all the tables have the little chalkboard indicating reservations, take a look at the time listed, they often have the signs up on the table hours before the reservation, and if you can eat before the listed time, then you're free to use the table. As far as breakfasts go, they've got a ton of choices. Everything from a huge selection of breads and rolls (the Gegrilltes Landbrot or grilled rustic bread is fantastic), to muesli, to scrambled egg plates (Aichtal Frühstücks; with just eggs and bread, with ham and bread, or with tomato and mozzarella and bread), to a breakfast panini (the Italienisches Frühstück), all of which were fantastic. Most of the frühstücks also come with a small coffee, but they also have a great selection of hot chocolates if that's your preference. They recently (-ish) updated their printed menus so that all of them now have the English translation, which is helpful if your German ist nicht gut. I don't think I've ever had a server who spoke anything but German, but they're always been (relatively) cheerful and if you can read the menu you can point and get what you want! The only real shortfall, aside from the tables filling up quickly, is that they don't do drinks to go (they literally don't have to-go cups), so you can't take a hot chocolate with you on your way out. Otherwise, this place is awesome. ((And don't forget to swing by the chocolate shop on your way out, especially the room in the back with the test flavors and cheap mixed-bags!))
