Nighttime in Stuttgart and in November, the Christmas markets and Christmas decorations are in full swing. A little too cold to hang out for too long (Unless you're wearing a beer coat. You know what a beer coat is, right?) but plenty of time to enjoy the season! Schlossplatz is the largest open square in the city and dates back to the 1800's when it was built as a parade ground. There is a very crowded Christmas market here with security checking COVID passes at the entrance. A little too dense with people for me so we walked the square and took pictures. Absolutely perfect!

Went to Stuttgart for a day trip and went to Schlossplatz. It is a nice place to visit. Plenty of cafes and beer gardens around the place. Was busy and loads of people hanging around the area. The weather was great & so was the atmosphere. Looking forward to going back there again read more

Staying in the outskirts of Stuttgart didn't offer much - which is why I often found myself riding the uBahn into Downtown Stuttgart. Upon exiting the Schlosplatz station, you pop right in the middle of this little downtown/shopping/park/plaza area. It's a stunning view in my opinion. I came here during the summertime which means you would frequently see the locals sun bathing on the grassy area, hanging out near the fountain or just roaming around while shopping. I truly miss this beautiful plaza. They are also known to have festivals/movie showings/events for all to enjoy. I had the opportunity to watch some of the Trik Film Festival which here was a treat and also a Mercedes Benz Event. read more

What a great spot in Stuttgart. Nice open square that's pretty busy but never crowded. Come here and watch the sunset, drink some beers, socialize, or even soak your feet in the fountain. I grabbed a towel from the hotel and had a mini picnic and laid out to catch some sun. In the evening, grab a drink and just sit and relax. The sunset here is great and the palace across the street looks amazing at night. I believe they also cut the grass here Thursday mornings so if you're looking to lay out or picnic there will be loose clippings on the ground. Check out my pics read more

There is no denying it, this is definitely my favourite place in Stuttgart! Situated in the middle of the pedestrian area, this place is definitely among the nicest places in Stuttgart (my fave!!). It is basically a wide, "empty" space, with lots of green spots and flowers, a huge collumn (the Concordia, the figure on top, is currently being restored, so you can only see an empty pillar and a huge fence around it), the "Neues Schloss" (hence the name Schlossplatz), the Königsbau, an art museum, plenty of cafés and masses of people! As this is the biggest place in the Stuttgart's city center, there is always something going on here, whether it's an open air concert, a festival or public viewing! I love to sit somewhere (the stairs of the Königsbau, for instance), with a coffee to go, and something to read - or simply indulging in some people-watching! It's always busy here, and yet you can always find a quiet spot to relax from a shopping trip or work, or whatever brought you here in the first place. Bottom line: * Plenty of people and always busy... * ...but a lovely place nonetheless * Grab a coffee and chillax! read more

Beautiful views make this a must-see stop if you're visiting Stuttgart. Quite busy on the day I visited. This has the feeling of being the center of it all. Hop on a train, grab a bite to eat, enjoy the outdoors, snap some photographs, or enjoy a pint with friends. Then walk around the area for historical architecture and plentiful shopping. read more

Schlossplatz is certainly main tourist attraction and the most visiting place in Stuttgart, definitely a must see #1!!! A lot of city's important monuments and beautiful building are located near Palace Square, e.g. New Castle, Jublaumssaule, Karlspatz and Schillerplatz and don't forget about Königstraße, the longest pedestrian-only shopping street in Germany ;) Moreover, this summer Schlossplatz was selected as a place for the United Buddy Bears exhibition as a symbol of cultural understanding, tolerance and mutual trust That was great! :) read more

Great place to sit in the grass and relax. Lots of families and kids playing and relaxing. Plenty of shops around and there is always someone performing different things which is nice to see. read more

Great place to roam around. Weekends are the best time to go, a lot of good restaurants nearby.

Open park in the middle of the city. When the sun is out you will see tons of people sitting in the park relaxing. At night its really beautiful too. With Stuttgart not being a huge city, this is definitely a common meeting point for groups, as well as a solid place to go and relax, read a book or just chill with some friends. Wide and open, lots of people and traffic, but also beautiful. read more

The central place in Stuttgart. In the summer you can rest on the gras and watch the kids jump the water. Loud, dirty, interesting kind of park. Kids can run around, as there are no cars nearby and parents can watch quite a distance. read more
