Bad Cannstatt is Stuttgart's biggest and oldest suburb. It used to be a world-famous spa, thanks to its rich supply of mineral water - Kings and Emperors met here. Still, today it is a very attractive district with a long and interesting history, with good shops and a great deal to offer those seeking ways to spend their leisure time. It is the home of the Wilhelma, the zoological-botanic garden, as well as the boarding point for Neckar shipping trips. By the way, if you ask the locals where they come from, the answer will always be "Bad Cannstatt" and never "Stuttgart."
