How safe is Frankfurt?

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.

Frankfurt is generally safe, especially in most residential and central areas. Just stay alert around the main train station it’s a bit sketchy, but not dangerous. Pickpocketing can happen in crowded spots, but overall, it's fine with normal city awareness.

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 would say if you avoid walking the neighbourhood around the main station at night, it’s safe enough here. As for the surrounding of the main railway station it just feels dodgy walking there when it’s dark

It's more or less safe but walking around in the wrong places at night is not advisable. It's a bigger city and there's a lot of drugs being used in broad daylight especially near the main station. During the day there's not really anything to worry about, I've never really felt unsafe 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.

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.
