Never again will I go to the Jazz Open Stuttgart on Schlossplatz. A ticket cost €120 for just 60 minutes with the selected star. Every normal concert lasts over 90 minutes, that's a rip-off, never again.
To all concert lovers, complain, otherwise nothing will change.

The palace square, or castle square, is the beating heart of the city of Stuttgart. The space is almost entirely occupied by a public garden which, being practically flanked by Konigstrasse, the main shopping street, is always very busy and lively. The eighteenth-century Palazzo Nuovo forms the backdrop to the square, while from the side you can observe the sixteenth-century and much more characteristic Castello Vecchio. Among the decorations of the square we note the very high Jubilee Column, the two twin fountains that flank it and a small music pavilion. A pleasant and well-kept space which, however, is very poorly lit in the evening.

Beautiful park filled with monuments, fountains, magnolia trees and an outdoor mall. People spend time sitting in the open spaces, taking in the beauty of the park, eating, laughing and playing. I felt so safe and it was wonderful to see people enjoying themselves without fear.

Great that European football but because Stuttgart is a playing city that has consequences.
For example, at the end of June this beautiful square is the Fanzone and you do not see any of it. It is surrounded by fences and security guards and that even on the day that no football is played.
Half the center is a kind of construction pit and fortress because of the European Championship. Too bad.

The square is very nice during the day, but after 5 p.m. you can forget about it. The people walking around there are terrible. A Christmas market is not acceptable. 5.80 euros for a disgusting, horrible bratwurst, no thanks. Let them shit on you.

The square is centrally located in the city center. As a result, it is in the middle of the hustle and bustle and very crowded. I also found the square very dirty. There is garbage and homeless people everywhere - similar to the Zeil in Frankfurt. In summer, the fountain is definitely an eye-catcher.

We enjoyed 2 visits to this platz (pkaza) while in Stuttgart. It's vibrant, full of energy and leads to shopping and restaurants galore. We also enjoyed the old buildings (some reconstructed due to WWII bombing damage). It is an easy walk from the main train station or easily accessible through the U-bahn.

This is the centre of tourist area - most attractions are within 10 minutes of here. Has 2 metro stops, buses, taxis etc. Cafes for a rainy day. 2 palaces, 3 art galleries (one shut). Views of the hills & TV tower etc
Ferris wheel - shut for winter? Small market (Christmas?)
Focus too of street activity - demos and displays
NB maps on display are orientated to match views, not compass.

The schlossplatz is the heart of stuttgart. Definitely a must see. I especially recommend it during christmas at the time of the christmas market (around 3 weeks in december, if not more). During this market, they install an ice skating ring, not too big, but pretty nice. A must do is to drink a gluh-wein, eat a wurst with pommes (avoid the exotic looking food at all costs, stick to traditional german! I love asian food so once i tried something asian looking right there in the market and it was horrible.. ) .. But beware of pickpockets during busy times!
All in all, a beautiful square, very alive on weekends, with good cafes around it, right in the middle of the shopping street.

The square is the main place and thing to see in Stuttgart and incredibly busy, on a sunny Saturday afternoon, at least. Lovely buildings on all sides. Good to see.

About a 30 minute train journey from the airport and then a 10 minute walk from the main station.

I this the best place to be for New Year's Eve for tourists? Two speak german, two do not. What is the best area to stay in for convenience to location?
Written 26 December 2014
Schlossplatz is the centre of everything that happens in Stuttgart central and at New Year Eve it is the place to be. The surrounding buildings add to the atmosphere and the nearby hill give depth to the view. Where to stay depends upon your budget but wherever you stay you will get a warm welcome at a reasonable price.
