Göttingen is a small cute city in the middle of Germany. It's very safe, but the busses in the evening are not driving that often. There is many police in evening in Göttingen, so it's very safe. But you should not ride your bicycle without light or, when you are drunk.
Posted: August 6, 2025Göttingen is a university city in Germany. There are many young people who speak English and are willing to help. The public transportation is good, although there are often changes because of several roadworks.
Posted: July 25, 2025It’s pretty safe. Especially downtown shouldn’t be a problem at all. :) I’m sure there are certain neighborhoods you shouldn’t necessarily walk in at night and alone as a woman, not because you WILL be attacked, but because you may feel a little uncomfortable if you are somewhat more sensitive or easily uncomfortable.
Posted: May 11, 2025Overall, it's safe walking around Göttingen day and night. There are one or two streets I would avoid passing through due to the drug scene, but strolling around the city center is no problem. On weekends, there are often groups of drunk people walking around but I would expect that from every city.
Posted: March 15, 2025Student city . Not very big but cute . I nevera had any problem in this city since I came to live here in 2015. Very good connections , party for young people but not a busy city. You have also options to walk around or go hiking
