The best clubs, lounges, and open-air bars

Want to turn night into day in Stuttgart? There are plenty of opportunities, depending on what you`re looking for.

How about a visit to the Tea House in the Villa Weissenburg Park or to the lovely Karlshoehe beer garden with a view over the city by night, or perhaps you`d prefer to sip a glass of wine in the relaxed atmosphere of one of the wine bars in the Bean Quarter. If you`d rather dance the night away, you`ll be welcome at the city`s trendy clubs, lounge bars and discos. Some of Stuttgart`s favourite meeting places for celebrating under the blue night sky are the numerous Beach Bars offering that unadulterated holiday feeling. High above Stuttgart`s rooftops the sands of the well-known "Skybeach" on the parking level of the Galeria Kaufhof department store invite you to build a sandcastle or enjoy a refreshing drink and the fascinating view over the city.

Whether summer or winter: the younger in-crowd meets in the Waranga Bar on the Kleiner Schlossplatz (Small Palace Square) to spend the evening relaxing with a cool cocktail and a view of the New Palace, followed by a stroll along the Theodor-Heuss-Strasse - the party-lover`s Mecca - with its chic scene bars and lounges. One of the most trendy bars is "Suite 212", the first lounge to open on the Theo-Heuss boulevard or the chic L`Oasis. From disco music through rap, house and techno - here you`ll find all the in sounds, past and present. During the warmer weather a huge outdoor party develops in front of the bars and lounges along Stuttgart`s convivial thoroughfare, so that it`s often hard to find a seat under the luxuriant palm trees on the terraces with their fairy lanterns.

The area of the old town around the Hans-Im-Glueck ("Lucky Hans") Fountain is a particular magnet for night owls. On warm summer evenings the street cafés and garden restaurants here are full to bursting, with an almost Mediterranean atmosphere. The best example is the relaxed Deli or the Matahari, which is very favoured by students. The bars around the Wilhelmsplatz and in the "Stuttgarter Westen" are also a favourite meeting place.

The best way to enjoy the nightlife in the heart of the state capital is on foot. Many of the wine taverns, bars, pubs and discos are in the middle of town. And it`s no problem getting home with a night bus or taxi, even late at night or perhaps even in the small hours of the morning.
