Leipzig is one of the safer places I've lived. Still, I prefer not to be out alone at night. Sexual harassment happens regularly, as men exist, but it very rarely feels really dangerous, more like a very annoying nuisance.
Posted: June 30, 2025I‘d say quite safe, following standard procedures of safety - not walking alone at unknown locations after dark etc. Otherwise nothing ever really happend to me here and I‘ve lived here for 6 years. I have camera at home and at my door.

in general it‘s a very safe city, the main station is sometimes a little bit uncomfortable after dark because there are sometimes drunk people or people on drugs but i‘ve never had a real negative experience :)

Leipzig is a very chill and cute city, Some call or "small Paris". Many students and teenagers live here. How chill and safe Leipzig is depends on the district. "Connewitz" "Südvorstadt" and "Plagwitz" are very safe for women and also for queer people. Here we are a community where we love eschothers and help. Leipzig is a left oriented city and holds against the realiving facism in Germany
Posted: June 15, 2025I think Leipzig is a pretty safe city - depends on where you at exactly. The public transportation is pretty safe and within the city is a lot of police on their way. In the dark it’s more likely to be unsafe but still okay.

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.

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! :)
