Safety overview

Safety at night:Safe

Stuttgart, is generally a very safe city to visit, even for solo female travelers. While it's always vital to use your intuition and stay aware of your surroundings, the city is well-lit at night, and the locals are usually helpful and respectful. However, like in any city worldwide, some areas might be best to avoid after dark. Using common sense and staying in populated zones like the city center should make your night walks reasonably secure. It's always recommended to research and plan your routes beforehand for an even safer experience.

Public transportation: Safe

Stuttgart's public transportation is generally quite safe for solo female travelers. There's extensive coverage by trams, buses, and trains, which often run on time and are well-maintained. Late night services are not so frequent but are available. Lots of locals and other travelers utilize it regularly.

It's always essential to be alert, mindful of your surroundings, and respect local customs and laws.

Petty crimes:Low

Stuttgart is generally a safe city, but like any other urban area, it does experience some petty crime such as pickpocketing or theft, especially in crowded places or public transport. It is advisable, as always, to be vigilant with personal belongings and to avoid displaying valuable items openly.

Tap water:Very safe
