Wilhelma in Stuttgart is a unique zoological-botanical garden, offering an extraordinary blend of lush greenery and diverse wildlife. Located in a historic 19th-century park, Wilhelma is home to over 11,000 animals across 1,200 species and a vast array of botanical treasures from around the world. As Germany's only zoo of its kind, it serves as a center for conservation, education, and scientific research.
Begin your visit by strolling through the Moorish Garden, a beautifully designed area that reflects the park's historic charm. As you explore, you'll encounter themed habitats that mimic the natural environments of animals from all continents, including Australian koalas and African giraffes.
