Downtown Stuttgart and Volkfest

We walked around downtown Stuttgart. It had numerous stores. The fountain area is called is Schlossplatz.  The new palace is near the old palace and is used by the state government.  

We went to a festival at Neckar Park in downtown Stuttgart called Cannstatter Wasen Volkfest. It was the 170th Stuttgart Beer Festival.  It was pretty much like a festival back home with rides and food tents, but here they have different beer tents.  As we walked to the festival,  we passed the Mercedes Benz Area (soccer plays here) and the Porsche Area ( performing/shows). We got a waffle with vanilla creme, see below. On the walk back to the parking garage, we saw cars being towed. They used a crane and lifted the car onto the tow truck, they don't mess around here.
