German has experienced a tumultuous history: starting a World War, being divided into two countries and much more. If you are planning a trip to Stuttgart , here is some background information you should know.

Stuttgart, Germany is a traveler favorite. This splendid city is less than an hour from the Black Forest, is surrounded by castles and palaces open to the public and offers tourists plenty of things to see and do during their visit.

Visitors who come to this city will find a lovely city where the past and the present live harmoniously side by side. There are many interesting places that you can visit while you are in this city. Of these various places of interest that you will find in Stuttgart you may like to visit the Wilhelma Gardens in Stuttgart. This famous place is both a botanical garden and that of a zoological garden. This garden was created in 1850 as a summer palace for King Wilhelm 1 of Württemberg. It was later transformed into the botanical and zoological gardens that it is now famous for.

With an area of 4.2 hectares in the heart of the city, the Cannstatter Wasen fair grounds is the venue of choice for the festival each year as it finds itself filled to overflowing with beer tents, fairground rides, rollercoasters, food stalls and musical events providing hours of entertainment for the whole family. These include the festival's iconic 47 meter Ferris wheel, the Double-looping roller coaster and other highlights such as the Whirligig, Bumper Car and Log Flume. Children's rides with the likes of "Shake", "Dream Flight", "Wilde Maus" and "Transformer" are also available while both young and adult visitors will enjoy "Star Flyer", "Hell Blitz", "Looping the Loop", "Turbo Force" and "Break Dance" in addition to "Reitsalon" and the "Schwaben Derby".

On the outskirts of Stuttgart lies an ironic little palace. Designed for Duke Carl Eugen, Solitude Palace is a wonderful display of showy Baroque architecture yet its location, its purpose, and even its name suggest a more reclusive nature. Nicknamed 'The Pleasure Palace', Solitude is a wonderful hidden treasure.
