Stuttgart has an excellent network of U-Bahn and S-Bahn covering the entire urban area. As a traveler from Sweden, you will recognize the punctuality, but remember to validate your ticket before boarding if it is not digital. For those who want to explore the hilly surroundings, the rack railway 'Zacke' is a unique experience. The city is also known as the birthplace of the car, but parking in the center can be expensive and difficult. Instead, use the VVS app to easily buy day tickets. If you plan to visit many museums, the StuttCard is an affordable option that includes free public transport and admissions.

Stuttgart is a very safe city, but as in all large cities, one should be vigilant for pickpockets at the central station and during large festivals like Cannstatter Volksfest. Germans value politeness and punctuality highly. When greeting in shops or restaurants, a friendly 'Guten Tag' is standard. An important difference from Sweden is that cash is still king; although cards are accepted at larger places, smaller cafes and bakeries often require cash payment. Tipping is not expected to the same extent as in the US, but it is customary to round up the amount by about 5–10% in restaurants if the service was good.

Swabian cuisine is hearty and filling. Don't miss Maultaschen, which resemble large ravioli filled with meat and spinach, or Spätzle, a local type of egg pasta often served with plenty of cheese (Kässpätzle). For a genuine experience, you should visit a 'Besenwirtschaft' – temporary wine bars run by local winegrowers where they serve their own wine and simple dishes. The region is known for its white wines, especially Riesling. Unlike the Swedish fika, the German 'Kaffee und Kuchen' in the afternoon is a sacred tradition where substantial pieces of cake are in focus.

Do as the locals do and avoid the most crowded tourist paths on Königstraße on Saturdays. Instead, head to the Marienplatz district or Hans-im-Glück-Brunnen for a more relaxed atmosphere with local bars and unique shops. A tip from TICKETS.SE for the perfect photo is to head up to the TV Tower (Fernsehturm) at sunset. Here you get a magical panoramic view of the city and the surrounding vineyards that few tourists take the time to see. Pack comfortable shoes as the city is built in a basin and offers many stairs, locally known as 'Stäffele', leading to fantastic viewpoints.
