At night Stuttgart in public isn't the safest place, as a woman you get a lot of weird looks and "compliments" especially if you are wearing something short. Sometimes men come and interrupt you, but you can handle it very well. There's a lot of police officers so nothing really bad could happen

I feel very safe in Stuttgart, but I am honestly not a very anxious person…I also feel like their are not as strange people in the public transports as their are in Berlin…but to be fair unfortunately you also do not meet frequently extravagant people like you do in other cities…

Im a Local and i think Stuttgart is safe but there are some parts of Stuttgart such as Bad Cannstatt, Zuffenhausen, Stammheim and Stuttgart Ost is a little bit scary at night. Cat calling is very much often in those areas so i wouldn’t walk alone there but in the city its pretty safe i walk alone at night home the only thing i try not to do is to walk through the Main station subway (Stuttgart Hauptbahnhof) there are some weird guys every night.

Stuttgart is pretty safe, expacially the areas around the centre. At the main Street Königsstraße you will probably get the most inappropriate comments from guys. But if you are hangging around in Stuttgart West or other areas you will feel really safe.

There really is not too much happening. And if you stay out of the more risky parts of the city (like Bad Cannstatt) you should be fine. I never experienced anything worse than some mean or sexual comments here and there.

I believe that Stuttgart is a fairly safe city, but as every big city and as the capital of the state, there’s undoubtedly more crime in some regions at night, but if you keep your distance from those particular places, you shouldn’t be worried for your safety.

I feel perfectly safe. There is no crime, and not much is going on. Our police are the best; they serve and protect so well, and I feel they are everywhere. There is always someone there who is watching. Other people help too.

Stuttgart is a very safe city. I have lived here my whole life and always felt safe, even at night. I wouldnt recommend walking in empty streets at night by yourself - just to make sure you are safe.

Stuttgart is a beautiful city, depending on where you are exactly. There are quiet places with beautiful architecture, but it can also be loud, crowded and dirty. I would not stay near the train station for longer than necessary, especially at night. It can get scary, but I don‘t think one has to be scared of getting murdered. There are cases though concerning sexual assault, mugging or physical attacks (as I said, depending on were you are). But I also have to say: I live near Stuttgart in a smaler and quieter place and have been there very often. And I‘ve never experienced anything like that (except some catcalling). If you look after yourself and don‘t visit the „Bad“ places after dark, you can be sure to stay safe. Danger can be found in any city on this planet. But that should not prevent us women from fulfilling our dreams and travelling the world, don‘t you think? 💪🏼

Stuttgart is really safe in general. There is your typical catcall of course but apart from that you should t worry to much! Going out late is fine. Sometimes people talk to you that you don’t like. Public transport is safe

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.

Stuttgart is a very safe city for solo women travelers and is really easy to get around. Extremely diverse and plenty of places to explore (food, drinks, history). Definitely check out Stuttgart if you are in Germany.
