Steigenberger Graf Zeppelin, Stuttgart

Advantages: Well run German Airport
Disadvantages: Display screens not updated quickly enough

...Stuttgart Echterdingen is situated approximately 10 miles outside of the centre of Stuttgart and is the first and last point of call for many travellers visiting this city of industry. Although not the largest of airports, Stuttgart still sees approximately 400 landings and taking offs daily and last year saw nearly 9.5million people use the airport, flying on approximately 60 different carriers. THE TERMINAL If you are flying from Stuttgart, you will see that your flight will arrive/depart from one of four terminals at the airport. However, do not be fooled as, unlike many other airports, the four terminals are encased in the same building and the number only refers to the part of the terminal that you will fly from. As well as being split into four sections laterally, the terminal is split across five floors with each... Read review

Advantages: nice city, nice surroundings
Disadvantages: the dialect of the people, but if you don't know German anyway, why bother

...Today we’re going to get to know Stuttgart, the capital of the Land Baden-Württemberg in the southwest of Germany which was founded 51 years ago, on 25th April 1952.

Advantages: Great city
Disadvantages: It's far from here lol

Most of what I loved about it was the other towns and places that they had in the area, which I will talk about in more detail below. *Stuttgart town centre* To be honest, I didn't spend a great deal of time in Stuttgart itself, although I did spend a long time in one of the many Starbucks they had. The main shopping street, Koenigstrasse, had many German shops as well as internationally known ones such as H&M, along with a handful of restaurants. I went to the art museum one day, which was right in the middle of town and easy to get to, and really enjoyed it. *Transport* One thing that really impressed me about Stuttgart was the public transport and how clean and reliable it was. I live in Newcastle upon Tyne... Read review
