3.5 /5

based on 7 experiences from female travelers

Solo travel

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.

Family travel

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!

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...

Safety in Frankfurt am Main is generally good. As in most large cities, it’s important to stay aware of your surroundings, especially near the main train station at night. Keep an eye on your belongings, avoid poorly lit areas, and use common sense when moving around.

Frankfurt ranks high in the criminal statistics, but this is mainly for migration “crimes” taking place in Germany’s biggest airport. Around the central station you might feel unsafe due to a lot of drug problems in this area.

Frankfurt center is quite unsafe - watch your belongings and never let anyone chat you up, also not the beggers, as many of them are not actual homeless people but lower romanian mafia members in disguise.

About me

Hi, i'm Vithu🌸 I'm 25 years old and I live in Germany. I love to travel and I'm always excited to meet people on my trips and spend time with them, hoping this will lead to lasting friendships. What I also like about traveling is discovering different cultures, exploring new cities, admiring the beautiful nature, but of course also enjoying the variety of food. I'm very friendly and reliable, and I love to laugh until my stomach hurts😅 I started solo-traveling this year and I absolutely love it. It helped me to discover a whole new side of myself.

About me

Hey everyone ✨ My name is Melodi but you can call me Mel. I am originally from Germany, but I moved to England in 2022 for my bachelor's degree. That's why I usually switch between countries. During term time, I live in England, and during the vacation period, I am back home in Germany 😄 I am very extroverted and pretty much down for whatever. I’ve traveled to over 20 countries so far, and I like to think of myself as a traveler, not a tourist. This summer, I am planning to travel to the Balkans (specifically Bosnia, Montenegro, Kosovo, and North Macedonia). I’d love to find a travel buddy, so if anyone’s interested in joining me, just hit me up! Let’s travel the world together and make some good memories ✈️🤩 Also, I live in Frankfurt, Germany. If anyone needs a place to stay, I would love to host you.
