I also liked that you could go on an upper deck and catch some warm sun through the windowed roof. It was a refreshing venture while in Stuttgart and super easy to get to on the tram.

I visited twice during my week in Stuttgart. The first time I used both the swimming baths and sauna area (on 2nd visit, sauna was female only. Check before visiting). Sauna area is nude. Something I've never experienced before but quickly became used to it. Make sure you check the 'ausguss' timetable in the sauna area for when you can take part in the ritual of having red hot steam blasted into your face by a towel twirling attendant (more fun than it sounds). Swimming area is not nude and has a brilliant outdoor section with a small, fast flowing lazy river. I visited both Leuze and Canstatt mineral baths during my time in Stuttgart and in my opinion, Leuze has the best sauna area but Canstatt has the best and more modern swimming area. Definitely worth a visit during your time in Stuttgart and I hope I can come back one day.

For all the English travelers visiting Das Leuze let me be the first to share that this is a great…read morereprieve from travels with many health benefits! Whether traveling solo, with friends or family, Das Leuze is an enjoyable experience. I came to Stuttgart to visit my family and suggested we go to a geothermal mineral bath (one of my favorite things to do when traveling abroad). Some tips for your visit: -Bring your own towels, sandals and robes; by the way, we never saw any of these to rent. -Bring your own children's floats, floaty or water arm bands as they are allowed but I do not believe they are available to rent or purchase onsite. -Shoes will not be allowed in the pool areas, only sandals. -You may purchase one time admission for 2 hours maximum or an unlimited day pass for a higher fee. -If you purchase passes for 2hrs max, you must mind the time as overage fees will apply if you exceed the maximum time limit. -You will get a digital wristband to wear during your stay. -There are two levels of lockers and changing facilities. -Bring a Euro coin (€2) to deposit at the first set of smaller lockers as this is where you will lock your valuables, separate from your clothes in the changing rooms. You will get your Euros back when you collect your items. -After locking your valuables, you will select a changing stall to change into and then lock your shoes and clothes in using your digital wristband to lock and unlock. -You must then proceed to the showers to shower and remove any scents from your body as best as possible. -This is also where the restroom/toilet facilities are so plan accordingly. I am happy to share that the facility is very family-friendly with a separate children & family areas for changing and swimming/playtime. The mineral baths/pools range in size and temperatures, with some warmer and others cool. There are both indoor and outdoor options to enjoy, with a wide range available--everything from large and loud/active playing to smaller and quiet/relaxing. There is also a hot tub inside and outside there is a lazy river and swimming with water jets/fountains to massage your muscles. If you parked in the parking lot, be sure to keep your Das Leuze ticket purchase receipt as you must do your parking pass checkout inside before leaving the facility and verify your stay. When in doubt, kindly ask someone if they happen to speak your language or use apps such as Google Translate. They also have sauna onsite but I did not purchase this additional experience. I personally feel like more than 2 hours is needed if wanting to switch between pools and saunas. Also, heads up that saunas do not permit clothing or bathing suits, only towels. Enjoy and have fun!
