Default Things to do in Stuttgart?

I'll be in Stuttgart tomorrow on a free day after a meeting. I'll hit the Porsche Museum and the Mercedes museum certainly. Does anyone have any other suggestions of things things to do there?

Thanks

Factory tours are at 10, but may not be every day.
I'd check if I were you.
Stuttgart also has distinctive beer and sausages.
Merc museum/factory is also worth it

It took me 4-5hrs to do factory tour and Museum (too my time), they also have a great cafeteria with nice food for lunch/dinner. You can also check out MB Museum if you got time!

Try a ride up the TV tower,,great panoramic views of the city,,also the town square is a nice place to visit with a lot of shops--it is by the main train station

I did this a few weeks ago. You need to arrange the factory tour in advance; no walk-ins. The museum took me 4 hrs and the factory tour takes 2 hrs. You could always head over to the Mercedes factory. I suspect they also have a museum. Otherwise, there isn't much to do in Stuttgart.

Fantastic trip... the porsche museum is well worth it and the mercedes museum is a must-see as well. I only had one day so I wasn't even going to try for the factory tour. Hit google for pics of either museum they're amazing from an auto and also an architechture perspective.

I'm very happy that I was sans girlfriend so I could spend the time at each museum. I literallly spent the whole day at the two museums had a great dinner and drinks and went to sleep.

amazing.
