Das 207,35 qkm große Stadtgebiet liegt in der Stuttgarter Bucht, einer ausgedehnten Randbucht der Keuperstufe. Auf diese hohe und bewaldete Stufe greift das Gelände im Westen in den Glemswald aus. Genau an dieser naturräumlichen Grenze erhebt sich als höchster Punkt des Reliefs auf rund 511 m NN der Birkenkopf, der bis 1957 durch 15 Mio. cbm Weltkriegstrümmer um etwa 40 m anstieg. Südlich des Stufenrands erreicht die Hochebene der Filder die südlichen Stadtbezirke. Im Osten streift der Schurwald das Areal und im Norden schließt das Neckarbecken an, auf dessen lößbedeckte Hochfläche sich der Neckar in den Muschelkalk eingetieft hat. Im Nordosten an der Grenze zu Remseck markiert der Neckar auf etwa 207 m NN den tiefsten Punkt des Geländes. Der Landesentwicklungsplan verortet Stuttgart im gleichnamigen Verdichtungsraum. Während das strategisch günstig gelegene Cannstatt bereits seit römischer Zeit ein Verwaltungszentrum war, liegen die Anfänge Stuttgarts in einem Mitte des 10. Jahrhunderts von Herzog Liutolf von Schwaben angelegten Gestüt. Im frühen 13. Jahrhundert erhoben die Markgrafen von Baden Stuttgart zur Stadt, die durch Heirat Mitte des 13. Jahrhunderts an die Grafen von Württemberg kam. Schon im 14. Jahrhundert stieg Stuttgart zum Herrschaftssitz auf, aus dem 1495 die Herzogs- und ab 1806 die Königsresidenz hervorging, und stellte von 1919 bis 1933/34 die Hauptstadt des freien Volksstaats Württemberg. In der NS-Zeit zur „Stadt der Auslandsdeutschen“ erklärt, wurde Stuttgart 1945 zur Hauptstadt des Landes Württemberg-Baden und am 25. April 1952 des Landes Baden-Württemberg. 1901 wurden Gaisburg, 1905 die Stadt Cannstatt, Untertürkheim und Wangen, 1908 Degerloch, 1922 Botnang, Hedelfingen, Kaltental und Obertürkheim, 1929 Hofen, 1931 die Stadt Zuffenhausen, Rotenberg und Münster, 1933 Stadt Feuerbach mit Weilimdorf, Mühlhauen, Zazenhausen, 1937 Heumaden, Rohracker, Sillenbuch und Uhlbach sowie 1942 Birkach mit Riedenberg, Möhringen, Plieningen, Stammheim und Vaihingen mit Rohr eingemeindet.

Stuttgart (; ; Swabian: ; Alemannic: ; ) is the capital and largest city of the German state of Baden-Württemberg. It is located on the Neckar river in a fertile valley known as the Stuttgarter Kessel (Stuttgart Cauldron) and lies an hour from the Swabian Jura and the Black Forest. Stuttgart has a population of 613,111 as of 2023, making it the sixth largest city in Germany, while over 2.8 million people live in the city's administrative region and nearly 5.5 million people in its metropolitan area, making it the fourth largest metropolitan area in Germany. The city's metropolitan area is consistently ranked among the top 5 European metropolitan areas by GDP. Mercer listed Stuttgart as 21st on its 2015 list of cities by quality of living; innovation agency 2thinknow ranked the city 24th globally out of 442 cities in its Innovation Cities Index; and the Globalization and World Cities Research Network ranked the city as Beta-status global city in their 2020 survey. Stuttgart was one of the host cities for the official tournaments of the 1974 and 2006 FIFA World Cups.

Stuttgart is unusual in the scheme of German cities. It is spread across a variety of hills (some of them covered in vineyards), valleys (especially around the Neckar river and the Stuttgart basin) and parks. The city is known as the "cradle of the automobile". As such, it is home to famous automobile museums like the Mercedes-Benz Museum and Porsche Museum, as well as numerous auto-enthusiast magazines, which contributes to Stuttgart's status as Germany's "Autohauptstadt" ("car capital city"/"capital of cars"). The city's tourism slogan is "Stuttgart offers more". Under current plans to improve transport links to the international infrastructure (as part of the Stuttgart 21 project), Stuttgart unveiled a new city logo and slogan in March 2008, describing itself as "''''" ("The new Heart of Europe"). For business, it describes itself as "Where business meets the future". In July 2010, the city unveiled a new logo, designed to entice more business people to stay in the city and enjoy breaks in the area.
