Stuttgart is home to many interesting sights. There is a Mercedes-Benz Museum, a Porsche Museum and company headquarters, the Wilhelma Zoo and Botanical Garden, a monastery built in 1463, the world's first television tower, the Württemberg State Museum, as well as a variety of castles.

Stuttgart is one of Germany’s safest cities and also one of its most prosperous. Many high tech companies have their German, if not global, headquarters within the city. Despite the strong technological presence, local vineyards still contribute much to the economy.
