    Enchanted flights of stairs up and down, peppered with architectural highlights and impressive views, await you on our Stäffele tour through the typical half-heights of Stuttgart's north.

    • Tour East

    The Stäffele-Tour Ost takes you on untrodden paths through the east of Stuttgart. You will pass the home of opera diva Anna Sutter, who died a dramatic death there, and the Stuttgart Observatory, before climbing several flights of stairs to reach the Uhlandshöhe. After enjoying the panoramic view over the city, the route continues to the John Cranko Ballet School in its spectacular new building.

You will also pass the Schwabtunnel, the widest road tunnel in Europe at the time.

    • Tour West

    The Stäffele Tour West takes you up numerous open-air staircases to the edge of the Kräherwald forest. You walk past magnificent villas and discover the charm of Stuttgart's west.

    One of the most famous staircases in the city is the so-called Eugenstaffel - because of the pretty fountain at the end, but above all because of the spectacular view from Eugensplatz.
