      Stuttgart has one airport [url=http://www.flughafen-stuttgart.de/en/index.php],]located in Leinfelden-Echterdingen. Various airlines including low cost airline TUI [url=http://www.tuifly.com[/url]]serve direct flight connections between Stuttgart and major German and European cities. It will not be difficult to book a flight to Stuttgart from outside Europe connecting through a major hub such as London Heathrow or Paris Charles de Gaulles. Fares usually don't differ if you fly into [[Frankfurt[/url]], [wiki=7b88a4aca50f33c258efc438d098c9f4]Munich[/wiki], [wiki=35d7df6ed3d93be2927d14acc5f1fc9a]Hamburg[/wiki] or Stuttgart. Lufthansa [url=http://www.lufthansa.com]]has an agreement with Deutsche Bahn/German rail [url=http://www.bahn.de[/url]]and your commuter flight from [[Frankfurt[/url]] could actually be a train ride. This is very convenient if you head for Stuttgart CBD.

      Delta Air Lines has non-stop service from Atlanta to Stuttgart. American Airlines offers codeshare service from Frankfurt Airport on the ICE high-speed trains to the Stuttgart Hauptbahnhof (ZWS). These tickets are often cheaper than buying a flight soley to Frankfurt, despite having the additional segment.

      You'll most likely want to go to the center of Stuttgart but are now standing somewhat outside at the airport in Leinfelden-Echterdingen. The best way is the Public Transport [http://www.vvs.de] which is clean, cheap and safe.
      * Public Transport
      ** The S-Bahn line S2 or S3 will bring you to Stuttgart's center within 27 minutes (see Timetable from station 'Flughafen' to station 'Hauptbahnhof'). Tickets can be purchased at vending machines at the level below the airport and above the platform. Tickets should be validated at orange boxes on the platform before boarding the train.
      ** Several bus lines head for other destinations.

    • By train

      The main station (Stuttgart Hauptbahnhof) is in the very center of Stuttgart.
      Timetables for trains and booking are available on the webpages of Deutsche Bahn AG [http://www.bahn.de/i/view/GBR/en/index.shtml].
      For getting on from Stuttgart Hauptbahnhof and around in the city of Stuttgart itself, see Public Transportation below.

    • By car

      The state highways A8 and A81 form a cross near Stuttgart ('Stuttgarter Kreuz'). The City is in the upper right quarter of that cross. West/east-Highway A8 passes Stuttgart slightly to the south, north/south-highway A81 passes slightly to the west. Generally, follow the sign "Stuttgart Zentrum" to get to the center of Stuttgart (and try to not lose yourself in a suburb district: there are smaller towns all over the place melted together to form Stuttgart.)

      Smaller but important routes from the center of Stuttgart to the areas outside are the B10 (to the east: Esslingen, Göppingen), B14 (to the southwest: 'Stuttgarter Kreuz', Sindelfingen, Böblingen) and B27 (to the south: airport, Tübingen, Reutlingen, to the north: Ludwigsburg).

      * During rush hours, all streets in the region will be a mess! Avoid 07:30 to 9:30 o'clock and 16:30 to 18:30 o'clock.
      * Highway A8 between Stuttgart-Karlsruhe is always a potential traffic-jam during worktime.
      * Never ever during rush hours drive near 'Pragsattel' (traffic node, connecting the northern suburbs). It kills your day.
      * Dont trust your navigation system. The Germans have decided to perform every single project associated with roadways at the same time.

  • filter_dramaGet around
    • Public transportation

      Public transportation is provided by the Stadtbahn (U-bahn) and S-Bahn. For short distances, it is best to use the Stadtbahn (or bus if necessary). For longer distances (to get to the suburbs) the S-Bahn is faster but has fewer stations than the Stadtbahn.

      Stuttgart's public transport is fully integrated and a travel ticket can be used on any mixture of buses and trains/trams that may be required to complete the journey.

      From Sunday to Wednesday public transportation stops around 1 am in the night. On the weekend the S-Bahn is running throughout the whole night hourly on all lines. So the inner city route from Hauptbahnhof to Schwabstraße is connected frequently. Additionally there are several night buses running, all starting from the Schlossplatz. On Thursdays there are night buses at 1:20, 2:30, 3:40. Be careful if you have a very early airplane since there are no connections weekdays to the airport in the early morning between 1 and 5.

      If you are staying for more than a day, for added mobility buy a special 3 days ticket ("3-Tage-Ticket"). These are available from:
      * Hotels
      * The airport
      * The tourist information office at the end of Königstraße nearest Hauptbahnhof - but make sure you take proof that you're a tourist (eg. hotel booking confirmation).
      There are two types of 3-day tickets available; one covers the main Stuttgart city and the other is valid for the entire VVS network, including [wiki=e695d893d85ac2e7f48288849c5d34f7]Ludwigsburg[/wiki].

      The city transport network is separated in zones. The city of Stuttgart is only Zone 10 and 20. Normal tickets are available at the many automats in the stations.

      Travel tickets are usually purchased (and priced) to cover the number of zones for the journey. All day tickets / EinzelTagesTickets are a good value for visitors. Group day tickets/ GruppenTagesTickets are also a good value with 1-5 people able to travel using one ticket. Four-journey tickets / 4er-Tickets are also a good value. These can be used on different days or trips and have to be stamped - once at each end of the ticket and on both sides.

      Note that in the Stadtbahn and the buses stamping machines are available inside the cars, while on the S-Bahn they are located at the entrances of the stations and there is no possibility to stamp once you are in the train. (If you do forget to stamp your ticket in the S-Bahn, either get out at the next station, stamp and wait for the following train, or write the current time and location on the stamping field with a non-erasable pencil - this will also be accepted by the inspectors most of the time.)

      Fare-dodging is severely frowned upon and plain-clothes inspectors are on constant patrol. Fines are steep, starting at EUR 40 per person for the first offense.

      There are seven S-Bahn lines (S1...S6,S60) and 12 Stadtbahn lines (U1...U9 + U13...U15) and several bus lines. Most lines will lead via Hauptbahnhof, ending in a layout that is pretty centralized: If you want to go somewhere, chances are, you have to ride via Hauptbahnhof. The following Stadtbahn or S-Bahn stations are located in the heart of the city: Hauptbahnhof, Schlossplatz, Charlottenplatz, Stadtmitte (Rotebühlplatz), Feuersee, Rathaus, Staatsgalerie, and Berliner Platz (Liederhalle). For a complete description see the official map of rail network[http://www.vvs.de/download/71.pdf].

      A specialty of public transportation is the rack-railway between Stuttgart-Marienplatz and Stuttgart-Degerloch. It is the only urban rack-railway in Germany!

      There is an old cable-car (look for Seilbahn) running from Stuttgart-Heslach to the cemetery. It is signposted.

      Both rack-railway and cable-car do not require a special ticket, instead all normal tickets valid in Zone 10 (including day tickets) are valid.

      Stuttgart's public transportation on the web - Homepage: [url=http://www.vvs.de]]- English version: [http://www.vvs.de/en/index.php[/url] - this is also a useful tool that gives prices and detailed information on how to reach every location, including foot paths to buildings.

      Escalators in Germany are a two-lane affair. "Gehen" on the left (to walk with the escalator) and "Stehen" on the right (to stand still). Not all people respect this, but even those who do not will move out of the way if they hear you approaching energetically or if you say "Entschuldigung!". As a tourist, however, it is advisable to comply with this scheme.

    • Walking

      In the inner city, walking is no problem. The distances are not far and a traversal of the inner city by foot can be easily done within 25 minutes.

      Some foreign visitors should prepare themselves for small cultural differences:
      * The Germans will patiently wait at a pedestrian crossing, even when no traffic is coming, until the "green man" comes on.

      To get a sense for the inner city, you should get to know following streets and places:

      * Königstraße: Hauptbahnhof, Schlossplatz.

      * Rotebühlplatz: Calwer Passage
      * Marienstraße.
      * Rathaus: Marktplatz (Rathausplatz), Schulstraße
      * Stadtpark: Staatstheater, Staatsgalerie, Charlottenplatz
      * Bolzstraße, Friedrichsbau, Liederhalle

    • Biking

      The city lies in a basin of a hilly region the Stuttgarters call "Kessel", literally "cauldron", and between the lowest part of the city and the highest part of the city are 250 meter of altitude. There is a lot of car traffic, and routes for bikes are not well developed. Biking in the outlying areas of Stuttgart, e.g. in the [wiki=15082b94c06ccd8dba5ac7efb1260941]Neckar Valley[/wiki] or the [wiki=1d101ad8394214998f09a3591627f1d4]Schönbuch[/wiki] (just south of the city) is very nice. Stuttgart is one of the greenest urban areas in Europe. There are many paths through the surrounding forests which are in very good shape.

      Also fun is "downhillbiking", you can carry your bike with the steep rackrailway from Marienplatz to Degerloch and drive down the hills. But be carful when walkers come across.

    • By car

      If you intend to drive by car inside Stuttgart, the only possibility to park are parking blocks at about 1,50 EUR per hour. Some parking blocks are closed during late night, providing no way of getting your car out. The street layout and numerous tunnels in Stuttgart can be confusing for tourists. Driving by car is not recommended.

      Car drivers should know following ring and how to get there and off again, if trying to master an inner city ride.

      --- Theodor-Heuss-Str. --- Friedrichsstr. -----
      | |
      Paulinenstr. Schillerstr. (Hauptbahnhof)
      | |
      -- Hauptstätter Str.--- Konrad-Adenauer-Str. --

    • By taxi

      Taxis are expensive. For 10 EUR you will get about 4 minutes of a taxi drive. With two or more people, getting a taxi together at night (when public transportation has stopped) can make sense.

    • Zoo

      Wilhelma, zoological and botanical gardens, Neckartalstraße, Bad Cannstatt (More information and arrival see Wilhelma [http://www.wilhelma.de])
      Definitely a must for families. But watching monkeys and weird flowers in this old place can be fun for young adults, too. (Unless you feel pity for the locked up creatures.) Wilhelma is also worth visiting for its architecture and landscaping features - the core of Wilhelma is housed in a 19th century palace/park landscape in the Moorish style, created for and named after the former king Wilhelm of Wuerttemberg.

    • Planetarium

      A fascinating astronomical journey, projected by optical hightech equipment: Carl Zeiss Planetarium . Note that almost all the shows conducted here are in German. You may have to check with the office for English show timings.[http://www.planetarium-stuttgart.de/index.php?id=englisch]

    • Buildings

      Stuttgart used to be an impressive town but was heavily damaged during World War II and only few buildings were rebuilt to classical elegance. The 50's still were post-war, in the 60's and 70's architectural things didn't matter at all and in the 80's and 90's with major insurance companies and banks building monuments of bad taste in the inner city, the aesthetic situation wasn't really improving.

      Here are some of the exceptions:

      * Altes Schloss, Old Palace (1300-1500)
      * Stiftsfruchtkasten, Collegiate Storehouse (1393)
      * Alte Kanzlei, Old Chancellery (16th century)
      * Prinzenbau, Princes' Building (1605-1715)
      * Neues Schloss, New Palace (1700-1800)
      * Solitude Schloss Solitude, Solitude Palace (1700-1800)
      * Wilhelmspalais, King William's Palace (1834-1840)
      * Königsbau, King's Building (1850)
      * Markthalle, Market Hall (1910)
      * Staatstheater (Grosses Haus), State Theater (1912)
      * Hauptbahnhof, Main Railway Station (1920)

      * Weissenhofsiedlung, (1927) [http://www.weissenhof.de/index.php?p=menu&language=en]

      * Liederhalle, Culture and Congress Centre, (1956)
      * Staatsgalerie, State Gallery (1977)

    • Towers and scenic outlooks

      Fernsehturm Stuttgart , TV Tower (1954-1956)[http://www.fernsehturmstuttgart.com/en], world's first TV tower built from reinforced concrete and prototype for all modern TV towers, with a beautiful view over Stuttgart. The Stadtbahn U15 to Ruhbank (Fernsehturm) gives you a wonderful view of the city. Entrance is €5 per person(€3 for students) and is worth it for the near-fairground quality of the ride in the lift to the top. There's a nice cafe at the top which serves fresh food and drinks. Note : The TV Tower is no longer open. This was closed citing safety reasons (2013).
      * Grabkapelle Württemberg (Burial chapel Württemberg)
      * Killesbergturm (Killesberg Tower). A recently built tower in the "Killesberg Park" (see also "green U" under Parks & Gardens), north of the city centre
      * Bismarckturm, a small tower northwest of the city centre, not far from Killesberg Tower
      * Hauptbahnhof The tower of the Hauptbahnhof is a free climb (to the Mercedes-Benz symbol at top), granting awesome views of Königstraße and the city. 10am-6pm.
      * Birkenkopf A debris mountain made of 15 million cubic meters of rubble from WWII as a memorial to everyone who died in the war. It is the highest point in Stuttgart.
      * Karlshöhe A hill that separates the western and southern city. Walk uphill 10 minutes southern from S-Bahn-Station "Feuersee" through a park (via Senefelder Str, right to Reinsburgstr, left to Jean-Améry-Weg). Have a outlook and enjoy the beer garden.
      * Weißenburgpark A hill opposite to the Karlshöhe. Easy approach: It is a short hop from Station "Bopser" (U5, U6, U7). Outlook and nice Jugendstil-restaurant and beer garden (closes at 11pm)

    • Churches

      Domkirche St. Eberhard (St. Eberhard's Cathedral Church)
      * Grabkapelle Württemberg (Burial chapel Württemberg)
      * Hospitalkirche (Hospital Church)
      * Leonhardskirche (St. Leonard's Church)
      * Stiftskirche (Collegiate Church), built in 1175, restored 1999 to 2003

    • Squares

      Schlossplatz (Palace Square)
      * Marktplatz(Market Square)
      * Karlsplatz (Charles Square)
      * Schillerplatz (Schiller Square)

    • Other historic parts of the city

      Bohnenviertel(14th century)

    • Parks and gardens

      "Das Grüne U": Most of Stuttgart's many parks and gardens are usually referred to by locals as "das Grüne U" (the green "U") because of the U-shaped form in which they are located around the city centre. They form a long and beautiful path around the city, starting at the Schlossgarten at the northern facade of the new palace (Neues Schloss), continuing through Rosensteinpark with the natural history museum and a rear entrance to Wilhelma (the zoo), and ending in Killesberg Park. Walking at a reasonable pace, you can walk the entire circuit in about 2 hours. There are beer gardens (look for Biergarten signs) and restaurants along the way, and the Killesberg Park is a real treat. It was designed for a huge botanical expo several years ago and remains a truly stunning park, especially in spring when in full bloom. If you're interested in architecture, be sure not to miss the structural engineering wonder Killesberg Tower, a minimalistic steel construction composed of one central support and a cable outer support system.

      Other significant green areas in the city centre are:

      * Akademiegarten, Academy Garden
      * Schlossgarten, Palace Garden

    • Rail transport systems

      Killesberg Railway, a small railway in Killesberg park, on weekends using steam-powered engines.
      * Stuttgart cable Car, an old cable car running to the forest cemetery
      * Rack Railway Stuttgart , Germany's only urban rack-railway. It uses modern cars like the light railway and offers a nice view.

    • Nightlife

      A good place to go where everyone speaks English is Biddy Earlys, an Irish pub just west of the city centre/Königstraße, a five minutes walk from the major public transport station "Stadtmitte" (S-Bahn, Stadtbahn). Do a google search for directions and keep a sharp eye because the entry is a mere doorway wide which leads down the stairs to the basement. Good bands on the weekends. Two or three euro cover, four euros on weekends (plus a bag charge if you have a backpack). Everybody always welcome, and you don't have to apologize for your poor German here! They show Premier League Championship and other British football here, you can celebrate or commiserate with only a handful of other drinkers.

      The most popular street for clubbing is the Theodor-Heuss-Straße. Over the past years several bars, clubs and lounges have opened here. It has become the most popular place for people to go out on the weekend. During the summer, there are also many opportunities to have a drink outside.

      If you want to go to a place where you can meet locals, you can visit the Bonnie and Clyde. It`s near the Stadtbahn station Stöckach. The owners speak English well, so do most of the guests. Many students, so music is from rock to punk. No cover charge.
      * [http://www.bonnieandclyde-stuttgart.de/]

      Another great bar is the Classic Rock Cafe, which is a few blocks away from Biddy Early's. Do a Google on it and you can find directions. No cover charge here even on weekends and the music is great! Interesting decor too, and everyone is welcome!

      If you're into Indie music, you might want to check out the Zwölfzehn bar/discotheque in the Paulinenstraße, about 10 minutes west from "Stadtmitte". It is close to the next S-Bahn stop, "Feuersee". In that area, around Rotebühlstraße, you'll find some nice theatres and bars.

      Go to "Hans-im-Glück-Brunnen" (between 3rd and 4th street southern from the western Königsstr.: Stadtbahn-station "Rotebühlplatz/Stadtmitte" or "Rathaus"): Many bars and Mainstream to Alternative Music. Mixed and broad-minded people (in contrast to some places at Theodor-Heuss-Str). Party especially on friday and saturday.

      Two great Jazzclubs are located in the Hauptstätterstr (Stadtbahn-station "Rathaus"). The "Kiste" (means "box": indeed a tiny club) charges 5 EUR (added to the drink) for a concert daily, starting at 9 or 10pm. The "Bix," named after Bix Beiderbecke, offers local to top-class acts: entry from about 7 to 30 EUR, depending on the artist.

      Another interesting fact about Germany is that prostitution is legal and there are many brothels located in the city. A conglomerate of brothels and hotels letting rooms by the hour are located in the "Bohnenviertel" (Bean Quarter) between Hauptstätter Str. and Olgastr. (Stadtbahn-station "Rathaus"). The girls charge at least 30 Euros for 20 min, depending on the service.

      On the outskirts of Stuttgart, in Möhringen, there is a hotel/conference/entertainment complex called the SI Centrum. A lot of foreigners stay here. This complex includes a theater for Broadway shows, the Millennium hotel, and a spacious underground complex that houses many conference rooms, bars and restaurants. It's a very nice place to stay and although it's one of the best hotels in Stuttgart, it's not that expensive. Plus there's a Stadtbahn stop right behind the hotel so you can explore easily.

    • Major points

      The US enjoys an (almost) 24/7 retail environment. This is definitely not the case in Europe.

      * The banks close at lunchtime on weekdays, usually 13:00 - 14:00.
      * The banks close at 13:00 on Saturday and stay shut until Monday morning.
      * A surprisingly large number of stores and restaurants do not take credit cards other than MasterCard and Visa, and it may be difficult to find ATMs that accept other cards as well.
      * Shops are open until about 8PM Monday-Saturday.
      * Stuttgart city centre has practically no shops open on Sunday. The only shops you're likely to find open are the odd chemist (Apotheke) and a brezel shop or two. If you're leaving Germany on a Sunday and are putting off your souvenir-buying until the day you leave, you'll be getting all your presents from the airport.
      * By the same token, ensure you've got enough food, drink and toiletries to last you from Saturday until Monday.
      * Don't try perfumes and aftershaves by spraying directly onto your wrist etc. - you'll get disapproving looks. There are small sticks of card provided - spray onto those and smell them.
      * Unlike the US, public restrooms in all Germany are usually not free. Carry change with you as it usually costs 0,50-1,00€.

    • Shopping around the Königstraße

      The main shopping street in Stuttgart is the Königstraße which starts at the main railway station. Left and right of Königstraße are interesting shops, too, but Königstraße is a good startpoint for navigation in the inner city.

      What may come as surprise to American visitors is that the price listed on German price tags is the price you pay - tax (MWST) is already included. Non-EU shoppers can buy Value Added Tax (VAT) forms (€3 each) and use each for 19% off the listed price! Since they cost money, this is only practical for items over €15,80.

    • Messe Stuttgart (trade fairs)

      The trade fair [http://www.messe-stuttgart.de/en/] and exhibition centre is located right next to the airport in Leinfelden-Echterdingen, south of Stuttgart. Public transportation is available via buses and the S-Bahn lines S2 and S3 (station Flughafen/Airport). From there it is just a short walk.

  • filter_dramaEat
    • Major points

      Food and drink in Germany can differ from the US/UK and other countries. Here are a few miscellaneous points to consider:
      * Smaller restaurants sometimes don't have much for vegetarians.
      * Groups of diners will usually receive their orders individually when the food is ready, rather than all together.
      * In a bar, beer will be served at your table and you usually pay the waiter/waitress when you leave (or when they leave).
      * Mineral water is usually carbonated ("mit Kohlensäure") and still water ("ohne Kohlensäure/stilles Wasser") usually has to be specified.
      * If you ask for tea (the drink) you'll probably get fruit tea. Ask for "schwarzen Tee" (black tea) for normal tea but have a backup plan as smaller cafes may not have any.
      * "Milch" (milk) for drinks is usually condensed/evaporated milk. Ask for "frische Milch" for normal milk.
      * Many fruit juices are packed with multi-vitamins, giving them a cloudy/opaque appearance and a somewhat silty texture.
      * Grocery stores can often be found in the basement level of department stores.

    • Fast Food

      Stuttgart is known for the Brezel. (You'll find them at the small wooden cabins on Königstraße and at any baker's shop.) A Brezel tastes even better with some butter on it. A "Butterbrezel" costs about 1 Euro.

      * At the many Döner (Turkish food) stands. Take care to order "mit scharf" (Pul Biber - dried chili, hot) or "ohne scharf" (not hot...). For learners of German it's worth noting that both "mit scharf" and "ohne scharf" are incorrect German and would literally translate to either "with spicy" or "without spicy". Instead simply "scharf" (spicy) or "nicht scharf" (not spicy) should be used, but may then not be understood at the food stands.

      * Some Italian and Asian delivery services at varying quality.

      * Some small snack shops sell potato chips with ketchup and roasted sausage. They are sometimes located in white trailers.

      * Also on Steinstr. is Veggie Voodoo King, a vegetarian falafel shop with vegan options.

      * Only two or three fast food shops are opened during night. Kebap Nemo at Rotebühlplatz. Dilan Kebab (walk from Stadtmitte towards Wilhelmsplatz and take a left "Tagblattturm")

      * For opened during night: The "Gül Kebap" which is a Döner and has opened 24/7. You can find it near the "Rathaus" (City Hall) and even closer to the "Conrad".

      * If you have young children with you, try Wienerwald across from the train station. They have a play area with a small slide and their half chicken meal with salad and fries is enough food for an adult and small child to share.

      *In the Hauptbahnhof, you can eat at "Nordsee" (a chain of fast food seafood restaurant). There is an amazing variety of seafood dishes, sandwiches, sushi, etc. The price is very good and the presentation is colourful and appetizing!

    • Restaurants

      If you enter restaurants of small hotels or guesthouses you'll most likely get the local Swabian food (and often bad support for vegetarians). Order some 'Spätzle' or 'Knödel' as a rich side dish there.

      * Stuttgart publishes a book annually entitled "Stuttgart geht aus" (Stuttgart goes out). This is available at iPunkt next to the Hauptbahnhoff on Königstrasse. This book, published in German, is a great guide to restaurants in the city. The small biergartens typically have great food, and they're all listed in this book! (The German is low-level and a pocket dictionary will be all you'll need if you don't speak German)

      * There are good and bad restaurants of any color in town: German, Italian, French, Greek, Japanese, Chinese, Indian, African, American among others.

      * Common restaurant prices:
      ** Pizza prices start at about 8,- EUR.
      ** Nice meat or fish will start at about 16,- EUR.
      ** Non-alcoholic drinks start at 2,50 EUR
      ** Glass of beer start at 2,60 EUR
      ** Glass of wine with ok quality start at 5,- EUR
      ** Longdrinks start at 6,- EUR

      * Stuttgart also has two star rated restaurants
      ** Wielandshöhe [url=http://www.wielandshoehe.de]](Vincent Klink)
      ** Speisemeisterei [http://www.speisemeisterei-stuttgart.de[/url] (Martin Öxle)

      * Two nice Italian restaurants can be found at the beginning of Calwer Straße at the Stadtmitte S-Bahn stop.

      * Restaurant attached to Stuttgart's international marketplace for produce, meat, and cheese (which is a nice shopping experience by itself). Serves regional and seasonal dishes. Also serves substantial breakfasts if you are hungry for more than bakery fare.

      * Beautiful setting and reasonable prices. Order cafeteria style or sit down to be waited on. Free live music on Sundays from May - September.

      * Brewpub serving regional specialties and its own beer. A lovely bar with impressive decorations.

      * Good international Gourmet Cuisine. Modern Restaurant with an outstanding winelist. Candle light Dinner on Saturdays. 15€ Business-Lunch on Tuesday's, wednesday's & thursdays

    • Canteens

      Canteens fit the gap between fast food and a common restaurant. Canteens serve somewhat richer meal at medium prices. Most canteens have a busy ambience.

    • Breakfast

      In the morning, locals definitely want to get some fresh bread (and brezels and broetchen [bread rolls/buns]) from the baker's shop and serve them with butter, cheese, ham, honey, jam and eggs from the fridge.

      Many locals and visitors will enjoy breakfast at the bakery itself, in the "Stehcafe" - literally, "standing cafe". These are usually a corner of the shop with tall tables which you stand at rather than sit at.

      Orange juice together with coffee or tea or hot chocolate will fit nicely.

      The breakfast in hotels will also look more or less that way.

      You can also order this breakfast setup in some or the other cafe or pub, but you'd have to know the good places at first, if you don't want to end up with a poor dish.

      There are 2 Starbucks Coffee Shops along Königstraße (a 3rd to open soon on the high-end district on Calwer Straße). But don't look for low-fat muffin or cream cheese options.

  • filter_dramaCommunicate
    The main telecommunications provider in Germany is Deutsche Telekom which trades under the names of T-Home (for landline phones), T-Online (for Internet connections) and T-Mobile for mobile communications. Anything relating to these companies are easily identified by the bright pink "T" logo. There are often shops in German towns called "T-Punkt" (Literally T-Point) where you can buy cell phones and get other information.
