Bad Cannstatt

Sprawling, residential Bad Cannstatt straddles the Neckar River and centers on a charming old town, with half-timbered houses on narrow cobbled streets. Visitors head to natural mineral spas such as the Leuze and MineralBad Cannstatt, and rustic wine taverns pouring local reds like Trollinger. Large green spaces include the Kurpark and the 1800s Wilhelma Zoo and Botanic Garden, known for its flowers and great apes.
