Crime & Women's Safety in Germany

Depending on where you live, the level of safety varies a lot. I am currently staying in a student city which is why it is relatively safe and I have no worries about my safety even walking alone late night !

It‘s a safe country. I am just a little bit worried in the bigger city at Night. I didn‘t experienced anything bad happend yet with myself but you get some robbing story etc. on the news sometimes. All in all I feel safe as a woman living in germany

Germany is a really safe country. Of course, there are still neighborhoods in some big cities, where I wouldn’t recommend going there by night on your own, but I think you should be aware of that in every place! Normally Germany is known as a really safe country, easy to travel, easy to get to know some open minded people!

The city’s and landscapes are pretty, but for all woman I would recommend to never be alone when it’s dark. Just be in a group or with people you really trust and feel safe around them. For the rest, enjoy Germany.

Solo travel experience

I've travelled a lot in my life, and felt welcomed at many places, but Germany is one of those places that make me feel welcomed the most. Of course, it is necessary to keep your common sense and be aware of strangers (because dangerous people are everywhere), but most of people you meet is very nice. As for the transportation, you can buy a monthly ticket called Deutschlandtricket. It costs €49 and applies on all types of public transport, except long-distance transport (ICE, EC or AG trains). It provides you of unlimited amount of travels, which can save you a lot of money! Food is of great quality (comparing to eastern Europe).

Solo travel experience

Safe, friendly people and clean..I really enjoyed travelling there.. I have a few different opinions. Firstly most are always amazed by the Sky Scrapers firstly. As I am very centrally located I can walk to town - the easy distance between areas by train. Westend to town just 1 stop. Each area has its own different appeal. Bergersstrasse is full of restaurants, clothing stores and just friendly people. Leipzigerstrasse very busy and popular street more for grocery shopping with organic stores, health shops and clothing stores, surrounded by different restaurants in the area as well. I think the food most surprises people. The dull greens and potatoes you think you will find on every corner surprisingly is filled with different experiences throughout the city, from amazing sushi, doner / falafel to indian, fresh and vegan. Germans are very into vegan. Most restaurants have at least one vegan meal on their menu. So food is a definite YES!!! Frankfurt is not your typical city in Europe as it was bombed during the war and most of those beautiful building are surrounded by newer versions so you don't feel like you walking down history lane, or the same feeling as you get in Paris by the architecture from before WWII.
