Public transport until very late, almost 24h and it feels safe, but sometimes there are a handful amount of drunk people also I won't recommend going through parks alone in the dark, but besides that it's ok I don't like Reeperbahn, so I wouldn't recommend it (very full)
Posted: June 11, 2025Hamburg is generally safe. It all depends on where you're out and who you're with. For example, if you're out alone on the Reeperbahn at night, the likelihood of being harassed is higher than in, say, the center of Altona. Overall, though, you‘re safe in Hamburg.
Posted: June 8, 2025Hamburg is a quite a safe city for both men and women. Most people in Hamburg spend the nights outside and are not scared of going home by train. I personally feel safe in public places like the Jungfernstieg. The nightlife at the Reeperbahn might not be for everyone and I wouldn’t go alone because there are a few weird people there.

Hamburg is very Safe but of course as women we all have the same fears and the safety measures for at night or when being alone should be the same everywhere. Cause Men …. But Germany is very safe :)

Pretty safe at daytime, after dark it's a bit complicated to say, also depends on where u stay, i wouldn't recommend to go after dark alone, maybe only on not long distances, overall it's like the same with every other city in Germany
Posted: April 24, 2025I think Hamburg is safe beside the main train station and places with many people around. There are many beautiful places to visit or stay. For myself, I live here, and I feel comfortable around here.

Hamburg is a beatiful City I can always eecommend going there. But I would recommend not going outside by yourself at night especially in the areas around the Hbf. The most fun thing we did was going into a local jazz club it was amazing. Hamburg can be a bit more expensive especially if you want to try some of the restaurants there with really great cusuines or when you go second hand shopping which Hamburg has alot of. Traveling around the city is really easy with the Germany Ticket.
Posted: May 12, 2025Experienced: March, 2025I felt safe, i just had to watch out on the streets with clubs. I would recommend going to Kunsthalle museum and if you like going out then Reeperbahn. My restaurant recommendation is block house. I stayed at my sister’s so she drove me around but there is local bus and a train.
