If you visit Stuttgart, it is nice to have a "Stäffeles-Bummel" to get know the interesting places of Stuttgart. The so-called "Stäffeles" are really nothing but stairs. Stuttgart is located in a valley and therefore you can reach many streets only by those stairs. So this way, the walking tour is of a different kind.

Our stay was limited to a short day and the weather was not good, so we had to restrict ourselves and could not see everything, unfortunately. For those who bring plenty of time, I listed below all the places I selected in my preparation (and which I will visit next time I am there).
