I think it depends on where you are going. It’s not about the neighbourhood but about certain streets to avoid. Sometimes it’s easier said than done but try to look confident, friendly but assertive. I personally never had problems in Frankfurt. Stay close to your friends and in case be loud and ask (other locals) for help.

It depends where you are in Frankfurt. If you are around the main station there are a lot of drug addicts and crazy people. If you stay in the main station a lot of people also are really scared of it but i have been to the main station a lot also at night and i think its okay. You should probably avoid Offenbach at night though.

I know Frankfurt does not have a good reputation in comparison to other German cities but I've been living here for a year now and never has ever happened to me, you just need to be aware of course and be attentive on the places your going.

Frankfurt is a really save city in the daytime, no matter we're you are. Also in the nighttime, there were rarely situation when I feeled really harassed or threaten, but I just don't feel save walking alone there at night.

I’ve been living in Frankfurt and often go out in the evenings—I usually feel safe. It’s a lively and welcoming city. Staying aware, like in any big city, goes a long way. I’ve met great people here and love the mix of cultures.

I think Frankfurt is a safe city. There is many policeman on the street. You shouldn't go alone to the main station places or at least, take a lot of care. Specially on the weekend are many drunk people

I didn’t feel safe. In Frankfurt there are many criminals, prostitutes and drug dealers especially near the airport, train stations and famous hotels. I was nearly got attacked by a stranger who was doing a strip dance in the middle of the street.

I travelled to frankfurt for 3 days for a concert and met up with 4 of my friends from germany there! it felt safe having people who speak the language with me, and we enjoyed nice food at a korean restaurant and overall walked around most of the time! I stayed at a hostel with my uncle since I was a minor at that time, and the transport was very easy with germany’s public transportation!
