How safe is Erlangen?
If it's not the " Bergkirchweih" it's one of the safest places I know. I was born here and it's one of the only places, where I feel safe at almost all times. It's hard to describe, but it's a beautiful old town
Posted: January 13, 2025I was a bit worried about my safety in Erlangen before i moved there - i used to live in a very small and save village. But i was so surprised: I feel comfortable walking alone in the dark, using public transport on my own, eating out alone, talking to strangers,..
Posted: December 22, 2024It is a very safe place. Once I lost my purse and the police itself gave it back to me. It is a university city with plenty of young people, and it is easy to find people that talk in English. I never felt unsafe.
