How safe is Bamberg?

During the day, I always feel safe. Even in areas that are not so popular. People are very open. In the evening, Sandstraße is very very crowded, especially with people who have been drinking. Walking through feels like sensory overload, but nothing happens. However, alone at night, I would be cautious, for example towards the train station. But there are always people in the city, which makes you feel safe.

I don't think it's really different then in other cities in Germany. Yes you gonna expirence sexual assault and men being assholes but overall I think it's safe as long as you don't walk alone in dangerous, dark streets... The city is very beautiful and the most people there are very nice...

I lived in Bamberg for 3 months and this is the one of the most safest towns I’ve ever lived . I often walked at midnight but never had feeling of being offended.

I lived in Bamberg, Bavaria for 3 months. It is the small town near Nurnberg, with lots of historical buildings. Bamberg is one of several towns which had survived from burning in the second World War, so almost every historical building is built in the12-13th centuries. This town is known for smoked beer which is made only here as a unique one, so the main reason of visit this place is to taste smoked beer 🍺 Town is located on the banks of the river so there are lots of beautiful views 🌸
