Hannover is a large city where people from many different countries live. You can taste flavors from various cultures and participate in different events. However, unfortunately, the crime rate is high. Therefore, one needs to be careful here.
Posted: September 13, 2025There are a few parts in the city centre that I would avoid (especially as a woman and if you're alone), but besides that, it's fine. Even in the parts that I would avoid, there usually won't happen anything, especially not more than getting insulted or catcalled. Overall, I would say it's pretty safe.
Posted: August 9, 2025Like any other city, there a places in Hannover which are best avoided after dark as a single woman, like the city centre after shop closing, the area behind the main station and certain residential areas. Public transport is safe, even late at night.
