Wilhelma

Stuttgart's unique zoological-botanical garden Wilhelma is one of the most beautiful of its kind in Europe. It was built from 1842 - 1853 for King Wilhelm I of Wuerttemberg as a Moorish garden. With around 9,000 animals of almost 1,000 species, important collections of orchids, an aquarium with crocodile hall and famous coral fish collection,  bear facilities and much more, the Wilhelma is THE place to see for visitors of all ages. No wonder, that with ca. 1.8 million visitors a year, it is one of the most visited sights in Baden-Wuerttemberg.

The Wilhelma Main Restaurant has room for 350 guests - outside you will even find 850 visitor chairs, tables and benches. The Café Belvedere is somewhat smaller, they have 32 or 150 spaces. In the restaurant at the demonstration farm, 100 or 200 guests have space.
