I would describe Leipzig as a safe city, but of course there are times and places where is feels more or less safe. Around the central station it can get a bit dangerous at night because of people being drunk and impulsive the later it gets.

It is really safe to go outside alone as a woman also at night. Just make sure not to go to Eisenbahnstraße at night alone. That street is not the safest but beside that, you don't need to be worried.

Leipzig is a safe city, especially when you go to places where a lot of people are spending their time. You can easily be outside at night, use the public transportation or drive around with your bicycle.

Leipzig is a very young and living city. Therefore, the streets are always quite full also during the night. Additionally, a lot of areas are very leftist and aware of the boundaries of other people. I would still, as in other cities, not go completely alone in the super dark streets in the nowhere.

ITS not easy to.describe because i am a Person that isnt easily afraid. I am mostly brave. In the train are sometimes drunken dumbheads or homeless people. So there could be an awkward Situation but IT didnt have to. I feel Safe to go Home Alone in the DARK. Leipzig ist a City with so much lovely students and that makes me feel more Safe. Crime can be everywhere but this City is more Safe than other Citys where we're more racism or stuff Like that. Thats only my opinion.

Leipzig is a very safe place for women. I believe it is a good travelling choice: you can use public transport without worrying too much, parks are safe and I have made very few bad experiences. Compared to other cities, the safety standard is very high.

I think that Leipzig is about as safe as any place, I even live in an area that is thought to have more crime, but i have never had any problems there :). However, I did have one friend who was mugged by football fans which was considered by everyone i know to be extremely unusual and rare (though it was upsetting)

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

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.
