Steps away from the Mercedes Museum and Porsche Museum and amazing public transportation options. Germany's public transportation system to and from the game was AMAZING! American TAKE NOTE!!!!!!

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!

Ein wirklich sehr schöner Baseball Platz für deutsche Verhältnisse. Es gibt hier nur 2 Probleme,…read moreparken ist eine absolute Katastrophe, hier kann man schonmal gerne 30 bis 40 Minuten nach nem Parkplatz suchen alles nicht so einfach. Im ballpark erwartet einen dann eine wirklich gute Baseball Erfahrung, klar, nicht zu vergleichen mit den USA aber es ist und bleibt halt ne Rand-Sportart in Deutschland. Es gibt sogar einen eigenen merchandise Shop. Einziger Wermutstropfen ist, es dauert ewig bis man was zu trinken oder zu essen bekommt, das können entspannt 4 innings werden. Es gibt halt nur einen Kiosk.

The main Stuttgart Christmas Market is pretty good. It's quite large, so there's a lot to see, but…read moreit's also a bit crowded and overwhelming. I also though the food options left a lot to be desired, as most of the things we bought to eat were just mediocre at best. This is more of a market for those who like lights, crafts, and rides. Oh, and of course, drinking mulled wine! Each of the little booths are decorated with whimsical holiday themes, and the proprietors go all out! I had the most fun looking at the rooftops of all of the booths. Food was mediocre for the most part, and there wasn't anything special on offer. We had garlic bread and mushrooms that honestly weren't even eating. Expect to find all the same old, same old Christmas Market foodstuffs (fried potatoes, potato pancakes, dipped marshmallows, etc.). Since so many famous car manufacturers are located in town, there's a free walkthrough light display in an adjacent park. It's fun, but is basically a light-up ad for cars, LOL.

Dating back more than 300 years to as early as 1692, the Stuttgart Christmas market is one of the…read morebiggest and oldest in Europe. Certainly larger than the ones I have seen this year in Baden-Baden, Colmar, Mulhouse and Basel! Similar vendors, of course. Glühwein is everywhere. Sausages are grilled here and there. Baked goods. Trinkets. Baubles for decorating your Christmas tree. Spices. Candles. Hats and gloves. Carved wooden toys. Candies. I have a new cashmere scarf (it was COLD!), some cookies, some fancy chocolates and a lot of memories. Stuttgart is a big city and the size of the market reflects it. Lots of people. Lots of food. Lots of hot wine. Don't forget to look up. Many of the kiosks have very elaborate decorations on their roof. [Review 21255 overall - 259 in Germany - 220 of 2024.]
