How safe is Leipzig?
Leipzig overall is fine. It sometimes feels a bit rough at night. Although nothing has ver happened to me, but I am always hyper aware at night. Especially around the main train station, it can leave you feeling a bit vulnerable
Posted: May 11, 2024Leipzig is a safe place, but I don’t like it to go out in the dark. I‘m very attentive then. I was never touched by a man in the tram or sth. like that but I heard and read of more criminal cases in the city.

Don't go to Grünau or Stötteritz if you are a person of color. Everything else is pretty safe and chill. You can enjoy the lakes and even skinny dipping without men annoying you. Public transportation is fairly safe.
Posted: April 8, 2024there are some areas to maybe avoid at night (like in the east) but other than that I’ve never felt very unsafe. If you keep to the busy areas you should be fine! Keep usual safety measures in mind.

I was in Leipzig to learn German. I didn’t work as hard as I needed to, but I recommend Leipzig. It’s pretty, calm, has awesome food, and has a lovely opera house. I would like to go back to Germany.
