Stuttgart

Stuttgart's central square, fronted by the 18th-century Neues Schloss, with lawns, fountains, and terraces. Tram lines U5/U6/U7.

61-hectare green ribbon linking the centre to the Neckar, with a fenced off-leash dog zone in the middle section between Eckensee and the Mineralbad Berg.

50-hectare hilltop park north of the centre with manicured flower terraces, the 40 m Killesbergturm wooden lookout, and a small off-leash zone at the south end. U-Bahn U5.

The largest of three forest reservoirs west of the centre, set in 200-year-old beech woodland. 6 km loop around three lakes, dog swimming tolerated outside the swan-nesting season.

Stuttgart's signature vineyard staircases (Württembergstaffel, Eugensplatzstaffel, Karlshöhestaffel) climbing south-facing slopes with classic city panoramas.

65-hectare landscape park around Schloss Rosenstein, Stuttgart's largest urban green space. Beech woodland, meadows, and connecting paths to the Neckar embankment.
