Make sure to be cautious while enjoying a holiday in Stuttgart. Never go out alone at night and during the day, keep your valuables in a safe place and out of sight to prevent becoming a victim of pickpocketing. At tourist centres, beware of the old ball and cup game, which is an infamous scam; two con artists (one posing as the dealer and one posing as a tourist) will try to trick you into thinking you can double the money you bet, but once you start playing, they rig the game so that you lose all the money you placed.

Before your trip (at least four to six weeks), get all the routine vaccinations, as well as vaccines for hepatitis A, hepatitis B, and rabies.
