How safe is Dortmund for women?

Nordstadt can be pretty annoying but the rest is pretty much fine I'd say. I heard people say they get catcalled a lot, for me it's normal, idk if it's overall special in comparison to other cities. Main offenders of sexual harassment are homeless people and old lonely men from my pov.

I have been in Dortmund for 2 months now and nothing ever happened to me i went to clubs and bars even went to an after party with people i just met at the same night and they made me feel safe so my experience so far is good

Dortmund is a pretty safe German city, with a relatively low crime index. It still is a big city though, so there definitely are some areas where pick pockets are around and also some areas where you may not feel super safe when walking around alone in the dark. But in general Dortmund is definitely a place where it’s no problem to do solo traveling as a woman.

Its generally safe but there are places that suck and full of junkies like the Innenstadt Nord. Other places are very safe. There are not robberies but still you have to pay attention to your stuff. Stay safe girliies 🫶🏼
