Stuttgart Art Museum
In 2005, the Kunstmuseum Stuttgart was opened in a spectacular new building in the heart of the city. Visible from afar, the glass cube has an open and inviting effect thanks to its transparency and today symbolises the urban, modern face of the city.

Gardens and Parks
Karlshöhe Stuttgart
On the Karlshöhe with its vineyards, gardens and public green spaces lies one of the most popular viewing spots in the city. From up here you have a magnificent view over Stuttgart. The grounds were developed as part of the 1961 Federal Garden Show.
Address: Karlshöhe, 70178 Stuttgart (S-Bahn to Feuersee).
Stuttgart Palace Garden
Between the art building and the state parliament, you can stroll around the corner lake with its fountain. The backdrop of the opera house, the theatre and the Württemberg parliament gives the garden a very special atmosphere. In the garden you will find, among other things, the Academy Garden, a spring garden and the adjoining green spaces of Villa Berg and Rosenstein Palace.
Access at the back of the main railway station, among other places
