Last weekend was a busy one. We had a guest from India at our house. To give our guest a feel of Stuttgart, we ushered him around the city, sight-seeing. He was mighty impressed with the Mercedes-Benz museum. It was my second visit to the place-and in no way was I bored!. It is really a superbly planned museum. They ensure that the visitor gets a view of everything in a decent amount of time.
We also visited the Solitude Palace, just on the outskirts of Stuttgart. This place is truly isolated. It is a rather small palace, surrounded by lush green lawns, on a hilltop that offers a breath-taking view of the surrounding towns. It is not something a tourist would enjoy on a short trip to the city, but rather a place for those truly interested in architectural and cultural history. Of course, it is also a wonderful place to picnic, on a lazy summer day.
The palace itself, is not excessively decorated and gives you the impression that the resident duke must have been a real loner!. What was more appreciable was the terrific maintenance of the building that keeps the palace resplendent to this date. Weddings are carried out in the inner hall of this palace even in these times! (at a price, of course!)
In fact all information about all palaces/castles/gardens in the southern state of Baden-Wurttemberg of Germany can be accessed online from a super informative website:
