How safe is Stuttgart for solo 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.

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.

Stuttgart is generally a safe place, but attacks on women do happen occasionally. If you're alone, it's best to avoid the smaller streets in the immediate vicinity of the city center/main train station, especially after dark. If necessary, take a taxi, even if the distance isn't far. Better safe than sorry.
Posted: February 4, 2026Stuttgart is a safe city but like any other bigger it can get crowded during special events. But overall a very peaceful city I would say. The train station is just very crazy but there is police, especially at night so you don't feel too alone or unsafe !
Posted: January 23, 2026As a veiled Muslim woman I don't feel unsafe walking alone in the middle of the night. There might still be places I'd avoid just because they're too dark, but there's hardly any reports of random violence against women. Most of the times if something happens, the victim knew the predator... Can't speak about going clubbing and what happens there because I don't do it.

Depends on where you want to go - we are not corrupt, have good authorities in case something happens and many honest people. But generally in Germany we have men - and crimes against women are present.
Posted: October 28, 2025Stuttgart is a generally safe coty, but it remains a big town. As a woman, I would say, we always have to confront the risk of sexual assaultment, especially at night, in clubs or at dancing events. On the other hand, I sometimes even do walks alone in the dark and nothing happens. The risk of being robbed is quite low I'd estimate

About me
Hey, I'm Anna 🏳️🌈, 27 years old. During the last years travelling and exploring this planet became my passion. Along my journeys I received an incredible amount of kindness from strangers all around the world and I wanna give the same kindness and hospitality back to like-minded people who happen to stumble into this small town. I am excited to meet y'all. Important: I don't live directly in Stuttgart. I live in the district of Reutlingen (45 minutes by train from Stuttgart, 35 minutes by car). The little town is called "Dettingen an der Erms" and it's located at the bottom of the mountain range "Schwäbische Alb". If you're wondering what there is to do in or close to my town, here are some recommendations: • the town next to mine called "Bad Urach", which is only a 5-minute distance from my place has the "Bad Urach waterfall" which is definitely worth a visit when you're in this area. It's a 30-45 minute walk along the waterfall to it's beginning. Been there several times and will definitely go there again. • from my window you have an incredible view on the "Schwäbische Alb", which is the most famous mountain range in this state. It's just a short drive up there and it offers a lot of activities. If you're up for a hike there are plenty to do there. In winter you can go skiing, snowboarding or sledging. Similar to rodeling there is a bobsleigh track that is only usable in the summer months. The "Schwäbische Alb" also comes with various cave systems that you can explore on your own or guided, such as "Nebelhöhle" or "Bärenhöhle". The latter also displays a real skeleton of a bear, that used to live in this area. Besides that the area also offers a climbing garden in the woods, a variety of lakes you can swim in during summer (and also during other seasons if you dare) • for people interested in archaeology there is a quarry ~30 minutes from my place. Where you can bring your own tools or rent theirs and look for fossils and knock them out of the stone • there is a local swimming pool in a 3 minutes walk distance from my place, and several lakes in a 30 minutes radius to enjoy during hot summer days & nights. • in winter you can enjoy the local Christmas markets in almost every town/city. You can choose to go to the bigger one in the bigger cities surrounding Dettingen Like Reutlingen, Tübingen or a bit further Stuttgart or enjoy the smaller ones • in autumn, usually in September/October you can experience the "Weindorf" (wine village) in Reutlingen, Stuttgart, Tübingen • twice a year you can visit the Frühlingsfest or Oktoberfest in Stuttgart Dettingen is a small town, so if you want to experience something, you actually have to leave it. Bigger cities in the are are: - Reutlingen (15 minutes drive by car) - Tübingen (20-25 minutes drive) - Stuttgart - state capital (35 minutes drive) The quickest way to get around is by car. There is a lot of public transportation tho. At nighttime it can become difficult to reach rural areas by bus or train since those areas often don't offer public transportation at night. Dettingen is one of them. But during the day you can use the bus or even the train (train station is in a 6 minutes walking distance from my place) If you want to travel further from here the Austrian🇦🇹, Liechtenstein 🇭🇹 & Swiss 🇨🇭 border are 2 hours away from my place (by car), as well as the closest French 🇨🇵 city worth seeing called "Strasbourg". If you're just looking for a place to stay and want to do activities by yourself, I am more than willing to give you your space. But if you want to do activities together I am up for that too, although I am not always available due to my full time job. Cooking together and experiencing each other's cultures that way is something I am always up to (beware: I am a bad cook) , as well as watching movies, playing (board) games or going out for food, coffee, clubbing, adventures. I am up to almost everything, but nothing is a must and it totally depends on what you want and looking for on your trip. See you 🖤
