I never experienced something bad to myself but I know other friends of mine have other views and experiences on that so it is a pretty safe city but I think as a women you can never be to cautious after all you can get sexual assaulted anywhere now

Except for the “Rathaus area” at night, I feel totally safe in Braunschweig. I live there since 20 years and never something bad happens to me. Catcalling happens obviously but not super much. At night you should still be careful around all the clubs

I take public transport here regularly and am not worried. During the day I don't feel the need to be aware of my surroundings, during the night a little bit. I left my bike loked at the train station here for a weekend and it didn't get stolen.

Like many other places in Germany, overall the city is save. There are low chances of pickpocketing as it is a small town and it does not have many tourists. I feel comfortable walking alone at night.
