This little city was really charming. I really liked the market and the heart warming cakes. I’ve been welcomed freely by a woman thanks to “Couchsurfing” who was used to travel alone too. I was surprised by her big heart. We talked a lot that night, she gave me confidence with only few words. She prepared me food in advance and offered me a lunch for the next day (even if I was leaving this exact day). She even payed the drink… her kindness was melting my heart. I asked her why did she do all those things for me, and she answered “If only you could know what people gave to me, I have to return the favour.”

It does feel safe. And berlin is not as expensive as I thought, much and more is affordable here and the quality at which food gets sold is very much richer than the price. Overall experience has been excellent.

Especially during Oktoberfest, it was very fun, very warm and people are really friendly. For stay, I stayed in a&a hostel, that's very shitty, they charge you for towel, water etc. I won't recommend that. For Food, prefer going to bars with local

So beautiful City. Nice people. I didn’t saw that much but the nature and some buildings were so pretty. I was here for a concert and it was fantastic. It’s not that big but very charming. Hope to be here again soon.

I live here my whole life and luckily didn't have to make any really bad experiences yet. Of course there are some rude people everywhere, but not that I have been threatened. Maybe little crimes, such as robbing or vandalism do happen, but I personally wasn't involved

Munich is in general a very safe city. I only feel not 100% at ease around drunk football fans or around drunk people from Octoberfest (only end of September till beginning of October). Other than that you can move quite freely even at night (especially in the good and lively parts of the city Centre).

In a lot of places there is police especially in the “szeneviertel” like the Kiez but there are also in some parts of Hamburg a lot of sketchy people to look out for. But in here rap I would say especially at daytime Hamburg ist a very safe city
