Is Erfurt Safe for Women? Crime Rate in Erfurt

Erfurt is a pretty safe city. I'd avoid hanging around Anger (a center place) after 10 pm, though. Overall there are street lights everywhere, and the police presence is high. During the day, I would not worry at all.

I have been living here almost a year and haven’t really experienced something too unpleasant. Overall it’s beautiful and safe city but at night HBF and around Anger street might be filled with rsther sketchy people at times so rather be careful. Also, be careful when you are around Nord Erfurt as sometimes nazis can be seen

The german city Erfurt is a place where a lot of students are and in the student groups you feel pretty safe. As a woman obviously you always are going to think about possibilities that could happen to you just to protect yourself but specifically in the city we don’t have these thoughts.

Erfurt is a small German City. Besides the „normal“ amount of harrasment which is experienced by almost every woman everywhere, there is nothing to be worried about! At day time there really is nothing to be worried about. At night time you can easily go clubbing or get drinks in bars. The areas which are far from the city Center (Rieth, Wiesenhügel) may be a little more dangerous but I wouldn’t recommend staying in these areas anyhow.

Solo travel

Was on a multiple day bicycling tour through Germany. Spent one whole day in Erfurt. Very pretty city and also (without planning) was there during the happening of a music festival. No entry fees which I absolutely loved and very good music and vibes. People dancing everywhere and also nice decorations. That trip made Erfurt one of my favorite cities in Germany.
