The Stuttgart Region is located in the center of Baden-Württemberg and extends over 3,654 square kilometers full of diversity: sometimes along the Neckar, sometimes along the Swabian Alb, sometimes full of green nature, sometimes urban, sometimes agricultural.

The region comprises the urban district of Stuttgart and the surrounding districts of Böblingen, Esslingen, Göppingen, Ludwigsburg and the Rems-Murr district. Together, 179 towns and municipalities belong to the Stuttgart Region.

The Neckar and its tributaries divide the landscape into varied units. The flat, undulating, agricultural Gäul landscapes are followed by the forests of the Keuperbergland.

The main traffic routes running from north to south (Frankfurt/Würzburg towards the Lake Constance region) and the axes from west to east (from the Rhine Valley via Munich and Nuremberg to Eastern Europe) intersect in the Stuttgart Region.
