If espresso is what you're looking for, please skip. Pouring the shot way too fast will only make a very watery, tasteless espresso. Please show down, makes life nicer... and not just for espresso!

A fun place to people watch, have a cup of coffee, and perhaps a little cake. This platz is he intersection of a wine variety of people with places to go. You can lock up your bike take the train, horse sit in the sunshine (if it is shining).

A tourist magnet for a reason... great fun.

Awesome way to get up the hill
Unfortunately only 10 bikes fit on the bike rack, so you might have to wait on busy days

great views, great tram ride for fans, “regular” public transport in Stuttgart!

Since our hotel was right on Marienplatz and since the Zacke cog railway started right from this plaza, we as railway fans couldn’t resist taking a ride, especially since there was no extra charge – the Stuttgart Zacke is part of the normal city transport system!

For a Sunday morning there were quite a few passengers of all sorts – mothers with baby carriages, cyclists with their bikes (there’s a special open carriage for the bikes), and a few obvious tourists too like us. Although we’d have taken the tram anyway, the view alone is worth the ride with panoramas of the entire Stuttgart skyline on the way to the last stop. Our only slight disappointment – after eight stations, a bit more than 2 kilometers, and about a quarter of an hour we’d reached the top, which curiously has the word “hole” in the name (“Degerloch”) although it’s actually 200 meters higher than the starting point.

At least we had the return trip to enjoy and also another tourist attraction for transport buffs in another part of town to look forward to: the Stuttgart cable car / Standseilbahn.

Up and down the hill goes quickly with a fast schedule. Comfortable for locals and tourist that don't want a heavy climb uphill.
