How safe is Bonn?

It’s technically pretty safe. There is not much crime I believe and getting mugged/robbed is fairly unlikely. The biggest problem are the drunk people both on the public transport and in the streets. Being alone as a woman in the central bus station is not the best experience

Bonn is safe overall if you don’t surround yourself in the dangerous areas, which is easily makeable. There are a few known spots for homeless people or dealers, they won’t do anything if you just ignore them

Bonn is a small city and very safe. The only area you shouldn't walk around alone at night is Tannenbusch. Because of the University there are many Students, who live there. So if you walking around Bonn you'll always meet other jung people.

Bonn is a pretty conservative Town with beautiful old building and lots of small shops. the only place sketchy is the main station the rest is very safe. Where I live its very safe no need to worry at all.

In my opinion bonn is an overal safe city. There are some areas like Tannenbusch or Kurpark(Godesberg) where drugs are a big deal. At the central station and busstation, there are some homeless people, but in general they are very calm and don't behave weird. In general I feel safe while walking home. Public transport feels very safe

Bonn is a cute small city underneath of Cologne. I have been living here for more than over a year now and never experienced anything making me feel unsafe. I live close to the city center and have often walked home alone without any worries. There should be nothing for you to worry about staying in this city :)

Bonn is very safe, just like most of the Germany. It's peaceful, little city. The city of cherry blossom. There are a few places to see and a lot of food to try. Summer is very beautiful, with a lot of flowers and flea markets.

Bonn's a small, pretty quiet city, with some really nice places to check out. It's pretty safe and fun to hang around in. The centre has beautiful buildings and shops or cafes to chill in. Plus, there are great parks and you can walk or picnic near the Rhine.

Bonn is a very safe town. At the Main Station there is one area where a lot of homeless people and drum addicts hang around but the usually dont do anything if not provoked. Aside from this one Spot I have Neuer experienced any worry in my 3 years living here.

Bonn is a safe city overall, it’s calm and quiet in most areas. However I think the Central Station area is where caution is needed unfortunately because sometimes I did have unpleasant encounters there… but overall nothing to worry about.
