Is Dresden Safe for Women? Crime Rate in Dresden

Dresden is a really aware and open city. I have never experienced any crime in my close surroundings I just read about them sometimes in the news, but I feel safe and especially in the Neustadt you don’t have to worry. Public transport is also really reliable and I feel okay driving at night but I’m always in company and If not I have friends who have my location just in case, but nothing has ever happened! :)

There are nice areas and Bad ones. Wouldn‘t Walk alone around Gorbits and Prohlis. New City Part is chill with Friends and also Not Bad alone. Old City i feel always Save. Most areas around Dresden i feel pretty Save. For example Radebeul,Cossebaude, Blasewitz

In my opinion, it depends on where you're at. I personally feel much more safe in the Neustadt than around the main station area /Prager Straße. I've been outside at night in the Neustadt and wasn't as worried about getting assaulted or something like that as I would be if I was around the main station area.

Living here, I almost never had bad experiences - even at night in the darkest places. I remember one time that a really drunk guy tried to touch me on the street. Usually I feel really safe going out, being in the party quarter, bringing cash, leaving my bag on the bike. If you want suggestions on what to look out for, write me.

Living in Dresden has been a mostly positive and safe experience for me. I’ve traveled across the city at all hours early mornings, late nights, and even midnight and have always felt secure using public transport or walking around. The city is well-connected and peaceful, and I’ve enjoyed exploring it without much concern for safety. However, like anywhere, not everything is perfect. There are occasional encounters with individuals who hold extremist views, which can be uncomfortable. But overall, I’ve had a great time living here and felt safe in my day-to-day life.

Living in Dresden feels very safe. I can walk around the city, even in the evening, without worrying. Of course, sometimes I might overthink things because of some news or random incidents, but overall, everything is calm and comfortable here. I really feel secure most of the time.

Solo travel

ok, dresden is quite an expensive city but in a week I was able to spend about 100€ (maybe it's cheap for you), there are a lot of youth events where different freaks gather (I advise you to go to the park in Neustadt!!) also if you are interested be sure to go to the open space, these guys sometimes organize cool meetings and be sure to TRY THEIR SHAWARMA. the downsides are the rather expensive city transport and the constant problems with trains (definitely buy tickets on Flixtrain!! they are much cheaper there) and I strongly advise against walking alone at night, there are a lot of drunk men there who can harass you.

Group travel

I traveled with a bunch of female friends. In our group I always felt safe, because I had people around me. If I were travelling alone I would have probably not gone out late, because Dresen still is a big city. We stayed at the AO Hostel. It’s very recommended. Cheap, nice rooms, good breakfast even and close to the city Center. But I’m sure staying at a hostel in Neustadt is even more of an experience. When visiting Dresden you definitely have to check out Neustadt for bar hopping. Spending the afternoon/ evening at the Elbufer, ordering food and having a chat when the weather is warm must be one of the best things to do. I can highly recommend “Falscher Hase” when you want to eat in a nice and cozy atmosphere and enjoy an amazing vegan cuisine! Getting around in DD is no problem. You have many train stations and bus stops. Simply count in longer waiting periods for the night.
