34 European Airports That Turn Layovers Into a Mini-Vacation

22. Stuttgart Airport: Cars, Castles & Culinary Delights

Stuttgart may not be as famous as Berlin or Munich, but it makes for a surprisingly rewarding layover. If you have five or more hours, take a short train ride into the city and visit the Porsche or Mercedes-Benz Museum, showcasing Germany’s most iconic cars. If history is more your thing, check out the stunning 18th-century Ludwigsburg Palace, just outside the city. Want a taste of local cuisine? Order a plate of Maultaschen (Swabian stuffed pasta) or enjoy a Brezel (pretzel) with mustard and local beer—it’s a must in this part of Germany!
