Stuttgart
Stuttgart, capital of southwest Germany’s Baden-Württemberg state, has long been known as a manufacturing hub. Mercedes-Benz and Porsche have headquarters and museums in Stuttgart. The city is filled with greenspaces, which wrap around its center. Popular parks in this “green ‘U’” include the Schlossgarten, Rosensteinpark and Killesbergpark. Wilhelma, one of the largest zoos and botanical gardens in Europe, is just northeast of Rosensteinpark.
