Is Frankfurt Safe for Women? Crime Rate in Frankfurt

Frankfurt is very safe, BUT there is an extremely problematic area around main train station and some local not-so-nice neighbourhoods. The "red district" close to train station is to be avoided - while most of the city is very safe.

Frankfurt at night is not for the weak if you aren't close to 'My Zeil'. I do NOT recommend staying too long in the 'Hauptbahnhof'(main station) and 'Rotlichtviertel'(Red light district). Frankfurt is really beautiful if you stay around the skyscrapers and downtown area. The Main Tower in the evening is definitely a place to check out if you want a picture from above!

There are a lot of immigrants from Islamic countries in my town. They don't work, sit in public places or walk in groups. They followed me several times but I ran away. Once they followed my by a car. The police will laugh at you if you report. The most important rule: "Avoid eye contact". It provokes them.

if you know which places to avoid it is safe, there are some crazy people and it’s best to avoid eye contact with them. We do have a homelessness and addiction problem in the city center, however if you don’t look/ give them attention you should be alright. Personally I am more concerned about men overall then the homeless/addicts. It’s not more than in other german or european places. It’s also not a lot safer. During day time it’s relatively safe.

For people that are not used to the city it can be a bit shocking, because areas as the Central Station or the City Center can be ruff. But as a person who grew up there I’ve never experienced something that made me feel unsafe

The safety in Frankfurt really depends where you are. There are very nice neighborhoods where you’re fine. But the district near the central station doesn’t as feel safe. In the end feeling safe is very subjective and you should always walk around with open eyes. But the good thing about cities is that there are a lot of people and you can always seek help or look for a friendly companion.

Frankfurt is quite a safe city. In the evening, there is a lot going on in the train station district. I advise against staying in this area at night, otherwise Frankfurt is generally quite safe. Women can stay here alone without any problems.

Frankfurt is a very safe city. Of course, like everywhere in the world you shouldn’t visit parks or dark corners, especially around the main Central station at night alone. The Public Transportation is very good and there is a lot of police everywhere.

Frankfurt is a small town, so there happens not a lot, at night the streets are very empty, that’s cool so far but it can be scary when there is a creepy person and no one is there to help in a potential emergency. Also a lot of people have are right-winged so I would say it is more dangerous for queer persons and women of Color.

When you’re near the Main Station, it is Not safe at all After Dark. A lot of drug users are in the alleys and in general it is not good to be outside the Main Station. Besides that after dark, when you’re not alone it is really safe and you don’t really have to worry. In general Frankfurt is a okay safe city, it really depends on where in Frankfurt you are. In the inner city and surrounding parts of Frankfurt it is really safe and you can take public transportation without worrying about being attacked.

Family travel

It was really fun. Though of course was visiting family there so they knew where to take me/what to show me. I was a kid at the time, and didn’t have to pay for anytning food wise thankfully. I remember being given 100 euro for a souvenir, and my cousins took me to a mall for shopping. Just a plain white hoodie with three bananas on it was 88 euros 😅 It’s been years since then, but that’s the thing I remember the most aside from the sky and strawberry picking I did with them.

Group travel

Travelled here with a group of 6 (3 girls, 3 boys). The city centre was relatively safe with tourists and local police. We stayed near the train station (Frankfurt Hbf) which wasn’t a very safe atmosphere. A lot of unfriendly faces around and if I wasn’t travelling with my guy friends I would’ve felt very uncomfortable. Lots of drug activity, lots of staring (at us girls) and multiple times we were approached by dodgy men. Wouldn’t walk around the train station area alone. The city was a different experience entirely, felt safe and secure and would walk alone.
