Is Frankfurt Safe for Solo 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...

I definitely felt safe in this city. I usually travelled from oberursel to east of the city to catch some dance classes at the Honbu in Enkiem then go to the Gym FITSEVENELEVEN in the city I’d often leave the gym at 11PM and get home past 12PM and find that the journey to and from I felt completely safe The food was usually price I found the quality of the take out of fast wood was incredible, fresh and always made with love, eating healthy is important to me so knowing there’s always those...

There’s a lot of rats in Frankfurt and a bit dirty in town, but for 2 days walking it was ok💅🏻 Also transport was good (except trains) DB IS SO GREAT(no please try not to use db) 🤩🤩🤩 Also we didn’t book a hotel, we just found one on the main street, it was quite normal and cheap!

Solo travel

Frankfurt was really safe. I was there in May and was a bit intimidated at first because it was my first time in Germany, but everyone was very friendly and spoke English. I used Uber to get around. I visited Romer Square and Kleinmarkthalle, which were nice little covered markets. Frankfurt is very pedestrian-friendly and easy to understand.

As a local (I grew up here) it’s ok… around the Main station you have to be careful and it’s better to be two or more. And everywhere in the city keep your stuff not unwatched. In the outer areas it’s not as crowded, I feel safer…

The past last years I have lived in Frankfurt and was outside even at night at for example Konstablerwache. Nothing ever happened to me exept being called slurwords. People are usually indifferent and might not help if you ask for the way. Be careful of strangers approaching at the Zeil, since there are a lot of people walking.

Frankfurt is actually quite safe, but you encounter people everywhere – and at the main station it is especially extreme, both directly at the station and in the immediate surroundings. You really have to be careful there.

I am leaving here just for around six months. What I can say is most of time, I feel safe and comfortable here. The most dengerous place of course is main train station. The public transport here is extremely convenient. It’s one of the most international and vibrant cities in Germany, with plenty of free community resources—for example, you can borrow musical instruments for free from the library, and there are free language cafes every week!

Frankfurt has a bad reputation, but is a much nicer city than many people think. I would avoid the area around the main station at day and night (also would suggest not to book a hotel there) and the zeil area at night.

It’s quite safe, I’d just avoid Niddastrasse. I’ve even gone outside at 2am and never felt unsafe. However, near HBF it can be quite dangerous at night because of the homeless druggie people and the area becomes strange after midnight.
