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

Late night services are not so frequent but are available. Lots of locals and other travelers utilize it regularly.

Like any city, caution should still be exercised during night hours or in less populated areas. Locals are mostly respectful and instances of discomforting attention or remarks are very rare. 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.

Solo travel

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.

it is overall really safe city but you can see some people who are drunk in the coffees and clubs. It’s really important not visiting as a new, in clubs at night because people here want to drink a lot of beer at night and during the day. but public places are really safe. People are not disturbed from any type of your closing or they don’t want to touch you. You don’t see this kind of things at all. Only visiting kind of specific places can lead people to think about you like that.
