STR is the airport for Stuttgart, in Germany, and the routes that come up most often are Palma de Mallorca, Malaga, Olbia and Cagliari in the Mediterranean, plus Cluj-Napoca, Bucharest, Rijeka and Budapest to the east.

Getting to the city
Getting between Stuttgart Airport and the city is the part worth planning before you fly. However you travel in, by train, bus, taxi or rental car, the trade-off is the usual one: rail and bus run to a timetable, while a taxi or a car goes door to door and depends on traffic. Build in a buffer at the start and end of the working day, when the roads into Stuttgart are busiest. If you land late, check the last connection of the night before you book your flight, not after. On the way out, leave room for check-in and security instead of cutting it fine.
