Flights
Flying to Stuttgart from the UK is not a problem although the destination is not always directly available through the budget airlines like Easyjet. Instead look at airlines like German wings, Flybe and British Airways for direct flights. Be aware that flying direct to Stuttgart is a little more limited than with other airlines so prices are a little higher than flying to somewhere like Berlin. As always look in advance for the best prices. The local airport is the Stuttgart International Airport. It takes domestic and international flights including German Wings and you can enter the country for a holiday without any restrictions as long as you have a valid UK passport.Climate
Stuttgart has a pleasant climate with mild winters, medium rainfall and warm summers. During the hottest months he weather can reach 34c.
