Mercedes Museum

The Mercedes Benz Museum in Stuttgart, was a tour of a lifetime, even if you just somewhat admire a well-designed car, you will be amazed at the history Mercedes brought to the auto industry.

The tour starts on the 8th floor and you walk down in a spiral going through the history and different aspects of Mercedes Benz that stand out including racing and buses.

Stuttgart Beer Festival Volksfest

Volksfest in Stuttgart is similar to Oktoberfest in Munich but smaller. There are several beer halls and lots of fun!

Known locally as the Cannstatter Wasen, this is much more authentic than the perhaps better-known Munich event. From late September to mid-October. On the first day, the mayor taps the barrel to kick off the 200-year-old festival.

You can expect lots of traditional food, beer, and locals singing and sharing, including oompah bands to folk costumes, sauerkraut or crispy pork knuckles, and Stein after Stein of the specially-brewed festival beer.
