Castle Solitude — Attraction in Stuttgart

Beautiful palace that you can visit in a guided tour. The interior does still have lots of original furniture / decoration / textile / paneling, including a small portion of the original wood floor with ebony/ivory inlays. The guided tour is about 50 minutes long and leads you through a handful of beautiful rooms and gives explanations not just about the rooms themselves and what they've been used for but also some historical context about the construction and the duke who had this palace built.

Our guided tour was in German language only and there are no signs or textual explanations in other languages that we've seen, so please keep that in mind. After the end of the guided tour, our guide did explain a few things in English though.

Parking was easy, there are a few parking lots and we were able to use free street parking.

Inside, there is a locker room to store your bags (which have to be stored before going into the palace rooms). There are also public toilets in a different building opposite the square that were generally clean but not well stocked (no soap).

Overall, I can absolutely recommend a visit here. The price/value ratio is very fair and some of the interiors...
