Frankfurt is a super safe city. Been living here since 2014 and rarely felt unsafe - even at night. There are certain areas you have to be more aware (like the Bahnhofsviertel for example), but besides that Frankfurt feels save and secure 🤍
Posted: July 22, 2025If you avoid places like taunusstraße and are aware that you’ll get some looks from men I think you can have a good time here in Frankfurt. Just don’t be at the Bahnhofsviertel a Night. And have fun !

Frankfurt is super safe day and night. The main train station (Hauptbahnhof) is a little sketchy, specially at night, but other than that you are good to go. I would also highly recommend to never leave your drinks unattended.
Posted: July 14, 2025You have to know in which neighboorhood you shouldn't go and in which there is no problem going. There are areas you should be careful but also there are areas in which a woman can travel safely also after dark.

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 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!
