Is Stuttgart Safe for Solo Female Travelers?

Stuttgart is considered generally safe for solo female travelers. While it experiences the common safety issues of any large urban city, like occasional pickpocketing in crowded spaces like public transportation or tourist spots, violent crime is relatively low, and the city overall has a safe environment to walk around during both day and night. Just like in any other city, you should follow common safety precautions: avoid less crowded areas late at night, secure your valuables, and maintain awareness of your surroundings.

How safe is Stuttgart?

Safety at night:

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:

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 advisable to stay alert especially at night, as pickpocketing and petty theft can occur, although it's quite rare. Good lighting and presence of CCTV cameras in many stations and vehicles help in enhancing security.
Street harassment:

Street harassment:Low

Stuttgart is generally safe to navigate, even for solo female travelers. The incidents of street harassment are comparatively low. 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:

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.

Solo travel

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.

About Me

Hey, I'm Anna 🏳️‍🌈, 26 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 area 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 🖤
