macy37 Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 I was last there 3 years ago en route to elsewhere. Not much to say bar it was bland but as always there was quality beer on tap. Stayed in centre but didn't go out til around 8pm and home by 1am. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie Endell Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 More boring that Dortmund? That would be quite an achievement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captain Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 Went there with Hearts in 2000. Nothing out by the stadium apart from the Mercedes Benz museum! Stay near the pedestrian precinct opposite the station for beers. Not the most exciting place as others have said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macy37 Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 Anyone anything else to add? I'm thinking of heading ver on Friday to Sunday just for a weekend of boozing and having a relaxing dander around however my memory is the place is a concrete jungle with little to look at and admire? Anywhere nearby that fits the bill of a quintessentailly german place with good boozers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham-zs Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 Go see the mercedes Benz factory!!!! On my bucket list and maybe Porsche if you have time but that would be second on the list Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anywhere nearby that fits the bill of a quintessentailly german place with good boozers? My ex-bird lived there, so I've spent a fair bit of time in Stuttgart. As others have said the centre of town is a bit non-descript but there's a nice palace and gardens in the centre of town. The Mercedes Benz and Porsche Museums are worth visiting if you're into your cars. Other things to do include going up the TV Tower (Fernsehturm) which is directly above Stuttgarter Kickers' stadium. There's also a decent zoo in Stuttgart. I can't see what dates you are looking at going, but Fruhlingsfest is coming up which is the Spring version of Oktoberfest. I've done it a few times, and the beer tents are superb! The beer festival stuff takes place in a part of Stuttgart called Canstatter Wasen, which is beside VFB Stuttgart's stadium. Outside of Stuttgart, Esslingen is a really pleasant wee town 20 mins on the train from Stuttgart. It has a nice historic old town, and a castle high above the town which you can walk up to.

Thanks, friday coming is when we are looking at. havd you any experience of Tubingen? Looks lovely and surely with 27k students it must have plenty boozers ? Seriously lacking hitels mind from what I can see for a place with 90k people? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macy37 Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 Update. Stayed in Tubingen and it was fantastic. Young vibe in the city, great folk, food and beer. Spoke with 2 groups on way home who had spent weekend in Stuttgart and none of them would head back so happy with our choice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have to agree wasn't the greatest spot but did have the most fantastic Chinese buffet I was ever at. Not your stodgy cooked hours ago muck this was raw fish, scallops prawns oysters etc which you put on a plate with a peg on it and the chef cooks it for you and hands it back to you Absolutly stunning , you could go up as many times as you like and all for 15 euro - Top 3 meals on an away trip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
