Stuttgart - anyone been?

[beardy gull]

Off to Stuttgart this weekend - Beer festival on the Saturday but where to go Friday night? Anyone been? Recommendations greatfully received.

Stayed there before the England game in Frankfurt last summer and went back for the second round.

Fairly modern place, did find a few bars tucked away on the side streets from the main square (where the Fans Park was) and the area round there was where they had a Wine Festival on (for about 2 weeks), so I guess the Beer Festival will be there.

The Cannstatt Volksfest there is fantastic, I went for work (!) a few years back - best not nearly to be sick on a tram, as I nearly was. It's like an Oktoberfest but without as many tourists.

The rest of the city is nice enough but a bit bland - the setting is the nicest thing about it, in a valley. But, in the town where CARS were basically invented, I think both Mercedes and Porsche (who are based there) have museums, which I imagine will be decent.

I got hit by a moped in Stuttgart when I was 18. Hope that helps.

Mind you I was incredibly pissed at the time, and standing in the middle of the road trying to flag it down. I blame these people: www.dinkelacker.de

Good idea. Whilst on a beer fest weekend why not try and fit in a ............visit to the local automobile museum.

I went for an art festival and Cortijo on the friday night was pretty good, it was a bit trendy for me but it was good fun.No idea if that is local to where you are staying though.
