Stuttgart: Myths, Motors and Maultaschen

Discover Stuttgart as you've never seen it: this free 2-hour tour takes you through the city's most fascinating squares, buildings, and stories, revealing an ironic, curious, and profound face. From the futurist Stuttgart 21 project to the history of the Hauptbahnhof, from the classicism of Schlossplatz to the cultural vibrancy of the Staatsoper and Staatsgalerie. We will walk through the alleys of the Altstadt, visit the Schillerplatz, pass through the modern Rathaus, discover Hegel's house, and say hello to Hans im Glück. We will talk about philosophy and cars, post-war reconstructions, Napoleonic revolutions, Swabian culture and its cuisine, with the famous Maultaschen, and the practical, ecological, and (somewhat) stubborn character of the people of Baden-Württemberg. All seasoned with surprising stories, amusing anecdotes, and a touch of irony. A perfect tour for those who like to travel with head and heart, and maybe even a little hunger!
