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.

As usual, the centre is full of weird dudes, but I think that's a worldwide phenomenon. In some less inhabited parts of the city it's safe. But in general it's ok, nothing alarming, but I would suggest being accompanied by a female or friend, just for the extra reassurance.

Stuttgart is a city where you can as a women safely take the train and go wherever you want without worrying about others bothering you. But as every other city, if something happens, there‘s always someone around that would help.
