Splashing around the Schlossplatz (Stuttgart)


My love affair with Germany began in July 2010.  Granted, my fascination with the country goes farther back, but I didn't truly meet Germany until we landed in Frankfurt and began our train journey to Stuttgart.  It was there in Stuttgart that I first fell in love with everything German.

It was a hot day, and we had been deposited in the Schloßplatz (Castle Plaza) to "walk off" our jet lag.  We roamed through churches, window-shopped at various upscale clothing stores, admired the castle facade, and dipped our toes into a few fountains to cool off.  It was a great start to a wonderful honeymoon.












The Mercedes factory!

You're in wine country - Riesling wine, to be precise!

Have you visited Stuttgart before?

  1. I've never been to Stuttgart and never even thought to! But that palace looks amazing! And it looks like you had such a nice day - I love that picture of you guys at the fountain! :)

    1. Stuttgart is awesome! Sadly a lot of the Old Town was destroyed during WWII, but it's a vibrant city today. And of course any Mercedes fan will want to visit the factory there!

  2. This places look lovely! The water fountains are beautiful and I love the idea of dipping your toes in them and cooling off on a hot, sunny day!
