Well it depends on the area. The city center, the parks there and espacially the main station are places where many women, even if it's their hometown, fear to walk alone at night. There are many addicts and groups of men hanging around. But there are many other parts of the city where it's no problem at all to walk home alone. I am living at a northern part of the city and can walk my dog alone at night without fear, but I tried to give the answers depending on my expierence with the whole city and not just my peacefull part of it.

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 🤍

If 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.

You 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 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.
