'''Stuttgart''', capital of [[Baden-Württemberg]] state (pop. 11 millions, 36.000 square kilometers) and the Administrative District of Stuttgart (pop. 4 millions, 11.000 sq km), is located in the center of the very densely populated southwestern [[Stuttgart Region]] (2.7 million inhabitants, 3.700 sq km) of [[Germany]], close to both the [[Black Forest]] and the [[Swabian Jura]]. The city center (situated in a lush valley, ringed with vineyards and forests, close to the River [[Neckar]]) itself has an approximate population of 600,000 and covers an area of 210 sq km. Stuttgart with its metropolitan area (the political entity "Stuttgart Region" plus the 50 km away cities of [[Tübingen]], [[Reutlingen]] - 50 km south of Stuttgart -, [[Heilbronn]] - 50 km north of Stuttgart - and their surroundings) is one of the most prominent and well-known german towns, especially due to its cultural, administrative and huge economic importance. <br>
