How safe is Aachen?

Aachen is a really small and cute city. Like all German cities you can see some homeless person in the street but they are not dengerous. I’ve been living for 4 months here and ı have never experienced any dangerous situation.

Aachen is a student City so it’s generally safe as there are always a lot of young people around. There are some homeless Periode which sometimes seem scary however they are harmless and keep to themselves.

Overall Aachen is a pretty safe and friendly city. With majority of a student population, I usually feel pretty safe and walk around after dark quiet confidently. Of course there are a couple of areas where they have some amount of crimes but they are not that frequent and usually they're not the touristy places.

Aachen is very Safe i guess. Although the rate of men is very high compared to women but I still don’t experience so much harassment in clubs or anywhere. I enjoy pretty much living here. The people walking around in aachen are very nice and you can always go for an adventure on your own. You will find people to join you or to have fun together

Would describe Aachen as pretty safe. It definitely has a lot of homeless people which you‘lil get used to after a while. I live in Aachen since two years and do feel pretty safe. I was already exposed to cat calling but name me a place where this doesn’t happen to beautiful ladies

Is Aachen worth visiting?

Solo travel

I visited for an exhibition and to see the cathedral which is very ancient. Aachen is a beautiful town and very safe. I stayed centrally and it was an easy walk frim the station, and very easy to get everywhere on foot.
