Skivakantie Italie Val Gardena

About the destination: Famous for hosting the headquarters of Mercedes-Benz, many believe that Stuttgart is a grey industrial city, but it may well be the greenest city in Europe. More than half of its surroundings are covered by orchards, meadows, forests and more than 500 vineyards that produce great wines. The city is in full metamorphosis. The city is slowly shifting the urban fabric, thought mainly for cars, to make more room for pedestrians. After Second World War, the architectural treasures of the city were rebuilt. Today it attracts nearly half a million tourists every year thanks to its impressive museums and air of relaxed prosperity. The city is located in a valley west of river Neckar. Stretching south-west from the Neckar River to the city centre is the Schlossgarten, an extensive strip of parkland and ponds, complete with swans, street entertainers and modern sculptures. Nearby, in the heart of the city centre, is the Schlossplatz, one of the most beautiful squares in Stuttgart. On the south edge of the Schlossplatz, the Neues Schloss, a baroque palace which now houses government offices, stands proudly. The palace stands adjacent to the Old Castle, home to the Württemberg State Museum, the main historical museum of the state of Baden-Württemberg. One of the most attractive and popular places is the Mercedes-Benz Museum representing unique exhibits of rare cars and cutting-edge models. It is also worth noting that the museum building itself is very interesting from an architectural point of view. Stuttgart oozes charm and a certain flair, offering visitors a range of historic and cultural attractions, despite its modernity.
