Is Kiel Safe for Women? Crime Rate in Kiel

It really depends on the area you’re in. Areas you shouldn’t travel to alone as a woman especially in the dark are: Mettenhof and Gaarden. Other than that I’d say it’s the same to most German cities.

I would say Kiel is a safe City over all. The police and other people are friendly and happy to help you, from what I experienced! At night I would avoid to hang out near the train station since there are some homeless people and drug addicts living there. The public transport is pretty safe but I would still stay aware of you surroundings.

Like in most cities the safety in Kiel depends on the location. I don't like being near the trainstashion at night, but to me it feels still much saver than some big cities in germany. I overall feel safe in Kiel

Kiel is a very safe town, there are only a few quarters where the crime rate is higher (I don't live in one of them). Generally bikes get stolen a lot but walking around you feel very safe day and night.

I usually feel very safe in Kiel even during night time. Around the city center (main train station) are of course always some weird people but even cat calling happens to me very rarely. I use bus and train almost everyday and my experience has been very positive to far!

I would say it’s very safe for a city this size. Of course there is crime but if you are in the normal areas you’re safe. The east of the fjord is a bit sketchier, but nothing to crazy. Since the bubble of left winged people is biggest there is little to worry about.
