Is Dortmund Safe for Women? Crime Rate in Dortmund

Not safe overall, especially in the city. Thats where I live. There are many drunks and agressive football fans around everywhere, its a catastrophe. People arent friendly either and our neighbours were drug dealers, its a pain.

Dortmund is fairly safe, however in the city center and around the main train station you can find sketchy people and the number of homeless people and drug addicts is constantly rising. At night I prefer not walking but take rental scooters, my bike or public transport to get home.

When you are in the centre of Dortmund, you will be safer than in some dark, small streets. I would always take care of myself and my personal things, no matter where in Dortmund i am. If you are with some more people, the possibility for having bad experiences is smaller!

There are some strange people, and one should definitely be a little careful. But I tend to come home in the middle of the night, and have still never felt seriously unsafe. I’d still recommend taking a friend with you if you wanna go out at night. :)

It depends on the part of the city, but the city is nice for a few day trip and you can easily find friends/ go party here. Like in any bigger city the subways and busses have some weird people in them at like 3am but I never was assaulted etc, they don't do anything.

I have been here for four months but have not faced any harassment as of yet. However I have heard some stories but not from first hand accounts. I have also got some good reviews. So in that way, I feel it isn’t that bad.
