Stuttgart has the second-largest mineral water reserves in Europe, just after Budapest. In Bad Cannstatt, 19 springs produce around 44 million litres of mineral water daily. Locals have been using these waters for centuries, and today, three public mineral spas keep the tradition alive: DAS LEUZE, Mineralbad Berg, and SoleBad Cannstatt. DAS LEUZE is the most modern of the three, with indoor and outdoor pools fed by natural mineral springs, a large sauna area, and a dedicated children’s section. It’s located right by the Neckar River and easily accessible via public transport.

The Linden Museum in Stuttgart is one of Europe's leading ethnological museums, offering a comprehensive look at global cultures. Its collection spans approximately 160,000 objects from Africa, the Americas, Asia, and Oceania, including everyday items, artworks, and sacred objects. Permanent exhibitions cover regions such as the Islamic Orient, South and Southeast Asia, East Asia, Africa, and Oceania. Highlights include immersive displays like a Japanese teahouse, a Tibetan altar room, and a carved Māori meeting house.

Höhenpark Killesberg is Stuttgart’s go-to green space when you want a break from the city buzz. It’s got a bit of everything: a 40-metre spiral tower with city views, a miniature train that loops through the park, and a petting zoo with goats, donkeys, and llamas. During the summer months, the outdoor pool and wave machine are a hit, and there’s plenty of space to picnic or wander through flower gardens.

The building is named after Japanese diplomat Chiune Sugihara, acclaimed for saving the lives of 10,000 Lithuanian, Polish and German Jews during WWII, by issuing Japanese visas for them. The museum exhibits all the important moments of his and the refugees' lives, shedding light on the years of the war as well as its aftermath.
