Stuttgart's public baths

Map of 15 locations in Stuttgart, Germany

Stuttgart sits on mineral springs, and three thermal baths draw on them while a second tier of district halls and seasonal outdoor pools does the ordinary work of teaching children to swim. What decides a visit here is rarely the water: it is the timetable and the state of the building, since the indoor halls open on narrow weekday windows, the Freibäder run May to mid-September, and burst mains and rebuilds keep shifting swimmers from one address to another. Everything below is mapped with its posted hours, its gate price and whether you can get in without steps.
