Here, the “i-Punkt” team has tips and suggestions galore – and in all the most important languages: German, English, French, Italian, Spanish, Catalan, Portuguese, Greek, Albanian and Dutch. Printed matter and personal advice on tourism offers in the Stuttgart Region are geared to the specific needs of foreign, domestic and regional guests.

Since 2014 Stuttgart's "i-Punkt" has held certification from the German Tourism Association (DTV) as one of Germany's most up-to-date tourist information centres. Thanks to its ideal location directly opposite the main railway station and its ability to provide fast, transparent, tailor-made information, it is popular with visitors and locals alike. One of its highlights is the over 10-metre-long touch wall, which also gives insights into the tourism options in the Stuttgart Region.

At the "i-Punkt" priority is given to an assortment of goods which are typical of the region. This is why delectable, world-famous RITTER SPORT chocolate made in Waldenbuch, or delicious Hochland coffee beans are on sale here. Fans of the local VfB-Stuttgart football club will find plenty to interest them here at the VfB Shop, too.

Since October 2019 the "i-Bike" has been providing visitors to Stuttgart with information on the city's tourist attractions. This striking, three-wheeled mobile information centre can be found from Thursday to Saturday on Palace Square during the warmer months – and sometimes also in winter, depending on the weather. On board: city maps in several different languages and various brochures, including information on the StuttCard, the Stuttgart Citytour and bookable guided city walks and tours. The bright red i-Bike is not only an eye-catcher but also shapes the cityscape. One of its special extras is the table with a large plan of the city – ideal for getting your bearings and planning your visit.

In addition to the two "i-Punkt" information centres, the Stuttgart-Marketing GmbH also provides information on offers in the Stuttgart Region in the foyer of the Television Tower. The modern presentation area – with monitors and touch screens – is intended to whet visitors' appetites for more of the region's tourism highlights.
