How safe is Bremen?

Bremen is generally a safe place to visit and get around in. There are some areas, like „Viertel“ where it can feel a little bit off, especially at night, but nothing should happen and nothing has ever happened to me.

Ok small city in Germany, kinda boring, a lot of drug addicts near the central rail way station. Overall it’s totally fine to travel here as a solo woman. Would be careful in public transport and rail way stations

Bremen feels quite save to me, but I'm a white cis woman so i can't speek for pocs or queer people. I've experienced catcalling but luckily nothing more. The crime rate is quite high compared to other german cities but only in some parts of the city. I think visiting bremen is not unsafe but men are unpredictable so...

On my street only one house got robbed, except that I wouldn't be scared to go at the night alone for a walk, you can go alone without a problem, I saw people doing it even at 23, but it wasn't the center of Bremen, i was living 10 minut by car from the center, overall I recommend this place, i really felt okay

Some parts of it like the far western or eastern part could be bit dark and unsafe but city centre is pretty ok. Also, near the central station is very busy and sometimes there are aggressive beggars or addicts, but I haven't experienced any bad situation yet.

Is Bremen worth visiting?

Solo travel

I felt safe, Bremen has a lot of horse farms to offer, you can learn to ride and after lessons swim in the river that flows through the whole of Bremen, I think it's a great location for solo travel because there are many green pastures and warm people, you can make friends by going outside where people do different kind of sports, I recommend Wasserhorst in Bremen, was best.
