The most famous site in Ludwigsburg “ and it should go without saying “ is the Ludwigsburg Castle. It is an 18th century castle-palace built by Baron Ludwig for his and his family's residential purposes. It would certainly remind tourists of the more famed counterpart in Versailles, France. While not as magnificent as the latter, Ludwigsburg Castle still ranks among the best and the largest castles in the country, making a trip to its premises a somewhat mandatory thing for tourists. The castle provides well-rounded guided tours for visitors, while a specially-designed museum detailing interesting facts about the castle and the city keeps all the young and young-adult visitors transfixed.
The gardens of the castle are worth a mention here, too. Nightly displays of attractive light and laser shows further make sure that you won't be leaving the premises of the castle before it's late into the night!
Apart from this castle, a variety of museums, art galleries, local markets (Christmas market in the old town of Ludwigsburg is quite famous), shopping centers, opera theaters and quintessentially German bars and restaurants mean that Ludwigsburg will keep you on your toes for the entire duration of your stay!
Ludwigsburg, unfortunately, does not have a dedicated airport. The nearest airport is Stuttgart Int. Airport (at about 50 km from the city).

The best time to visit Ludwigsburg is arguably the height of summer. This is when the city is at its most presentable, with sun shining brightly and the spirits flowing high.
But summer, as one can imagine, also makes things uncomfortable in terms of economy of it all. To avoid that, tourists can visit Ludwigsburg in late spring (April) or late summer (July and August).
