Stuttgart has a unique topographical position in between forests, vineyards, parks and gardens and can also rightly be called Germany's largest wine village. The importance of Stuttgart's culture is shown by the variety theatres and museums. Its opera house is home to the world-renowned 'Staatsballett', and the Swabian easy-going nature is at its peak during the 'Suttgarter Weindorf' and the world's second biggest beer festival, the 'Cannstadter Wasen'.
