Stuttgart is the capital city of the state of Baden-Württemberg and one of Germany's most important technology hubs. Home to major international brands including Daimler, Porsche, and Bosch, the region is also distinguished by its large community of small and medium-sized high-tech companies, which constitute a major engine powering Germany's prosperity. Among the leading industries in the region are mobility, aerospace, engineering, finance, IT, media, and the creative industries.
With a population of approximately 600,000, Stuttgart has for decades been one of Germany's most multicultural cities, priding itself on welcoming people from all over the world. It is also known for being a family-friendly city, with many facilities and programs for children and families.
In addition to being an economic powerhouse, Stuttgart is one of Germany's top cities for arts and culture. In 2018 it was for the fourth time ranked number one among all German cities for its wide range of cultural offerings, including some of Europe's leading theaters and museums. Dozens of popular music, film, theater, and food festivals also take place here every year, meaning that there are always stimulating and enjoyable ways to spend your free time.
Stuttgart's cosmopolitan flair is matched by its closeness to nature. The city center contains several large parks, and is surrounded by hills topped with forested nature preserves, vineyards, and majestic views. Also nearby are the Swabian Jura and the Black Forest, which offer quaint half-timbered towns as well as invigorating opportunities for outdoor sports. For longer weekends and vacations, the high peaks of the Swiss and Austrian Alps can be reached in just a few hours.
