How safe is Stuttgart?

I think Stuttgart is pretty safe, to me it never happened nothing too bad. Of course there are always strange people in some places, and more when it's dark. But I don't hear many horror stories. I would not walk on the Königstraße alone when it's dark, there are often a lot of strange men but in general I would say it's a pretty safe city to travel and Party :)

Stuttgart is a generally pretty safe city and cute when you know where to look... but only then. Avoid the main staition, Canstatt and Zuffenhausen at night but otherwise you don't have to worry. The south and west part are the nicest parts jn my opinion tho.

I feel pretty safe here and I do walk home alone at night, but I also feel pretty safe being alone in generell. It’s honestly like any other big city in Germany. As a woman I am as concerned about being harassed or worse as I would be in any other city but definitely not more.

Stuttgart is a relatively safe city. Of course at night you have to be careful, especially if you’re at the main station or city center. Also if you’re a woman i would watch out and be wary of your surroundings. Men do look and give stupid comments. Especially Friday and Saturday night when everybody goes out and the women look pretty. I personally never have been assaulted, neither have my friends, but you never know. I would say though that Stuttgart is safer compared to Frankfurt or Berlin.

I don't have much information, but there have been cases where people have been robbed pr attacked in the last time (but men, no women) I would recommend to walk in groups of at least 2 in the night, in the city centre is a bit safer as police is nearby, but about the rest of the town I can say anything. I have often found people's handbags with documents and etc near or in trash. My mum's purse has also been stolen so that she didn't even notice, but I personally haven't experienced anything like this.

Depending which zones you’re in it can be pretty safe. The downtown are on the weekend after dark can be filled with some drunk people tho but as long as you stick to more crowded places you should be fine. The main station tho where the subways can be taken from should be avoided as much as possible. Stuttgart east, zuffenhausen and hallschlag are known for having gangs and drug dealers.

Is Stuttgart worth visiting?

Travel rating

3.7 /5

based on 3 experiences from female travelers

Solo travel

Stuttgart was beautiful, the clubs were amazing, and the people were very friendly. It's just that you have to expect that most of them have a German mentality. That means if you visit them, they won't offer you any food ✌🏻 but apart from that it was really great.

Stayed near the train station and felt safe walking around in the night (10pm or so). Main shopping street is lively even in the evening. Nice Central Park to sit and soak in the view. Try the local dishes like dumplings in soup and roast with potato dumplings.
