An Engaging Day of Shopping in Stuttgart and Metzingen
If you’re looking for a convenient way to indulge in some high-end shopping without the hassle of navigating on your own, the Private Shopping Tour from Stuttgart to Outletcity Metzingen offers a thoughtfully curated experience. For around $322 per person, you’ll spend approximately five to six hours with a private guide and vehicle, enjoying a seamless trip from your hotel in Stuttgart straight to one of the world’s most renowned outlet centers. The price includes pickup and drop-off, making it ideal for travelers who want to skip the stress of planning transportation or dealing with crowded buses.
Two aspects we particularly love are the personalized service—your driver and guide will be attentive and speak English—and the chance to explore more than 170 premium brands in one place.
