Is Leipzig Safe for Women? Crime Rate in Leipzig

I'd desribe Leipzig as a fairly safe city. If you have a car, it might get stolen tho. As I woman, I often travelled alone or with friends at night and felt safe most of the time. I'd avoid the central station at night because there are lot of drunk people on the weekend.

If you don't go to the most crime areas (like Eisenbahnstraße) you should be fine. In general Leipzig is quite safe and has good public transportation. But still at night there can be uncomfortable situations.

In my experience it is a safe place with nice people and good food. As a woman you have to be aware about your surroundings, but I would not be worried. In the dark you should choose places that you feel safe

I have been living in Leipzig for 9 years and feel very comfortable here. The city is very open, and many people welcome individuals from all cultures, genders, and sexual orientations. Of course, like in any city, there are some areas where you don’t feel as comfortable. I mostly spend time in the south and west of the city and generally feel safe and at ease, even when I’m alone and regardless of the time.

Generally very safe! I’d stay within city borders because the outskirts are very right wing. Not safe for WOC. The East of Leipzig has a very high crime rate including sexual harassment and drugs. Avoid if worried. But also lots of students living there and a very big activists scene. Overall I feel very safe in Leipzig.

I would recommend that Leipzig is a safe city. Even in summer there are a lot of people outside late in the evening. I would prefer to go outside with people you know god, that you can feel safe even in the dark.

Leipzig is a lovely city, with a culture and alternative people. If you visit Leipzig i can recommend the Kulki and the Cossi - two beautiful lakes! Also don’t miss the food hotspots like Karl-Heine or Karl-Liebknecht Street! :)

Good overall, just stayed there some hours honestly. Not so good ice cream but great people. Also beautiful buildings and would definitely recommend visiting the mall on the middle of the city, it has many MANY internationl shop's. Just loved it!
