Ludwigsburg is situated just a few kilometres north of Stuttgart and has about 85000 inhabitants. Ludwigsburg has many sights, from which we only visited the Blooming Baroque Garden with the Fairy Tale Garden next to the Palace. It's wonderful there and we spent a great afternoon there.
Visiting the Residential Palace would be interesting, too, but unfortunately we didn't have time for this. You can only visit it with a guided tour. There are also English tours, please check the webpage of
Ludwigsburg for the schedule. This webpage also contains lots of good information on Ludwigsburg, in German, English and French!
