Start your winter holiday directly at the airport Stuttgart

A lot of people think that you can’t have a good holiday in a big city in winter, which is wrong. The winter can be as pleasant as summer, you just have to plan it good. Since it can be really cold in Germany it would be an advantage to spend the days indoors. On the one hand you can visit the library of Stuttgart, which is going to be one of the most beautiful, modern libraries you’ll ever see. Or spend a day in a spa and warm up in a hot bath or a sauna. You can also do a mulled wine tour or take a trip through the galaxy in the planetarium. The highlight in Stuttgart in winter is definitely the Christmas market, you can’t go wrong with a visit there. The market extends in the Königsstraße in front of the Königsbau and lightens up the city with lots of fairy lights and a huge Christmas tree in the middle. There you can eat and drink a lot, and buy or just look at little handmade things.

Book a hired car easily online

You can find a hired car easily on our website. You just indicate the filters that match your perception. Those filters include the vehicle class and type, included services and insurance benefits as well as vehicle characteristics. You also specify with how many people you are travelling and if one of your companions has a driving license, we recommend that you include an additional driver. This additional driver is also eligible to drive the hired car, so the insurances count for the person. So you can take turns with driving and you don’t have to drive all the time by yourself. You also have the option to chose one of our three service packages instead of filtering everything individually.
