Is Erfurt Safe for Women? Crime Rate in Erfurt

It's a very small student town with a lot of old people. There are very rare cases of nuisance which are reported. The city closes down by 7-8PM and it's pretty quiet afterwards. The public transport system is pretty good. Till midnight, it's very regular. After midnight, there is a tram every hour. I enjoy living in this small, quaint town.

Erfurt is a beautiful medieval city in the heart of Germany. It‘s downtown is safe throughout the year, even on crowded Christmas market days. In the dark, unsafe city boroughs in the North and South should be avoided due to a higher crime rate.

Erfurt is a beautiful city. You don’t need to worry. Shirt happens all over the world but I don’t think that Erfurt is a place to worry about. Sometimes I’m also scared but this is normal. Just look out for you and your watch out where you are. Maybe you should not go to Erfurt North or South when it’s dark. Take care :)

I got to know Erfurt as a generally safe city. Not gonna lie as a woman sexual harassment always is a topic but in the night and public transport I do feel safe. When it comes to BIPOC it’s less safe. Friends face a lot of racism and I also witness it a lot unfortunately. It’s still safe but those daily racist structures aren’t neglect-able.

Overall safe, just depending on which areas one is in. Central Erfurt is safe. There isn’t really anything to worry about. The outer parts are depend. I don’t know about every one of them. So long as one stays in well lit areas and staying mostly central, it is safe.

“In my opinion, Erfurt is very safe. But yeah, unfortunately, as a woman, you always have to be aware of the possibility of harassment, no matter where you are in the world. Erfurt is a small city, so everything is easy to navigate, with good public transportation and actually a lot of police presence.”

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.
