Enticing
In the Stuttgart Region there's plenty of scope for
the pleasurable and palatable aspects of life.
Swabia has a wealth of culinary de-
lights on offer. “Spätzle”, for exam-
ple, are a kind of noodles whose tasty
reputation has spread far beyond the
state boundaries. They are the ideal accompaniment
to a succulent roast or
lentils. Visitors from all over the world
always enjoy discovering the regional
specialities. From charming cafés with
delicious cakes and pastries, to stylish
starred restaurants serving international
cuisine – in the Stuttgart Region
you'll find virtually everything in the way
of good catering. In the evenings there
are lots of elegant bars, cosy pubs and
trendy clubs just waiting to be discovered.
There's always something going
on in the Stuttgart Region, with its wide
range of festive, entertaining and cultural
events throughout the year. Spring
festivals, summer parties, Christmas
events – Swabians are never short of an
excuse to celebrate. There are festivals
with international stars and wine events
with typical Swabian gemütlichkeit. By
far the largest and most outstanding
festival in Baden-Württemberg is the
Cannstatter Volksfest, Stuttgart's Beer
Festival, which has been a real public
magnet ever since it began. The number
of visitors has risen steadily since 1818.
Today, this traditional festival draws up
to 4 million guests annually. The variety
of colourful amusements on offer
makes the Stuttgart Beer Festival one of
the biggest and most enjoyable popular
festivals worldwide. Nine marquees
and the Alpine Village provide all that's
needed for a typical popular festival:
beer, “Göckele” (as the grilled chickens
are known here), traditional costumes,
leather trousers and exuberant music.
