Opera, sport and party mile
Stuttgart’s student life is pretty impressive: numerous clubs and discos attract people with a wide variety of offers. The „Bohnenviertel“ invites visitors to take a leisurely pub crawl. The „Hocketsen“ are also famous, casual beer bench parties, many of which take place in the summer. The “Besenwirtschaften”, open from July to December, is another special feature: in these rustic wine bars winegrowers offer guests their own wines and simple dishes in their living quarters for some weeks of the year. There is also great fun to be had at various student parties, such as the „Bauiglfest“ or at one of the many faculty and hall of residence parties. And the “longest party mile in Germany”, Stuttgart’s Theodor-Heuss-Straße, is no longer a well-kept secret.
