The city is surrounded by a beautiful countryside including the valleys that grow the wines, the Black Forest mountains and the Lake of Constance. Stuttgart is in easy travelling distance of other European countries like France, Switzerland, and Italy. The Stuttgart area hosts important headquarters of renowned companies such as Mercedes Benz, Porsche, Bosch, Hewlett-Packard, Alcatel and IBM. The State Art Gallery, the Opera House and the world-known Ballet Company are symbols of the cultural attraction of Stuttgart. There are also lots of opportunities for sports and entertainment.
