Porsche at about \u20ac12 is smaller and sharper.

They are free, they are the best way to see Stuttgart, and they are steep, uneven and often unlit \u2014 a daylight activity.\r\nAre there really vineyards in the city? | Yes, working ones, running right up to the buildings on the slopes around the centre.

A broom hung outside means one is open. They are the best value eating and drinking in the region and they move around, so ask locally.\r\nHow big is the Volksfest? | The second-largest beer festival in the world after Oktoberfest, from late September to mid-October in Bad Cannstatt, with the same tent structure and litre glasses. It attracts a fraction of Munich's international crowd, which many people consider an improvement, and beds rise far less.\r\nIs the main station a problem? | It has been a construction site for years under the Stuttgart 21 project.
