Leipzig is quite a safe city. I never experienced any situation where I didn’t feel safe or was afraid of anything or anyone. I often walk home alone in the night or use public transport in my own Never hat a weird situation.
Posted: February 12, 2025Leipzig is a really safe city with plenty of young people! I can recommend to always use a bike, especially at night, so nothing bad can happen to you! There are a few people who seem to be scary, because they have a drug or alcohol issue, but often they don’t notice you, and just in case you can always run away from them, they will have no chance. Maybe you can avoid some places like Grünau or Paunsdorf in the evening, because sometimes there are weird people, but all in all i felt nowhere else that much safer than in Leipzig :)
Posted: February 11, 2025safe if you visit city center, but some districts feel fishy; wouldn’t recommend visit Eisenbahnstraße alone. clubbing is pretty safe. robbery is not common, except for bikes. man are decent, never felt male-gazed
Posted: January 19, 2025It’s pretty safe in Leipzig. Of cause there might be some parts where it’s dangerous especially at night, but overall I’d say it’s safe to be out and about. I even walk home alone from the city enter at night. Public transportation usually is also safe.
Posted: January 11, 2025I believe Leipzig can be a very safe place. The people are kind and open. If you find yourself in a difficult situation, you’re rarely left to deal with it alone. There are some places you might prefer to avoid or where you should be prepared to encounter unusual behavior, such as Eisenbahnstraße or the main train station. It’s also better to be with someone at night. Overall, though, I feel safe here.

Leipzig is a City full of young leftish people making it a rather comfortable place to visit. You can find LGBTQ+ safe spaces like Bars, coffee, dancing Events or Clubs. Overall if you dont know the zones sexual harrasements and feeling uncomfortable as a women might Happen for example at night in Clubs in the City center.
Posted: January 5, 2025I feel safe in Leipzig. Of course there are a few crazy people you don't want to meet either day or night and also roads you tend to stay away from. But there is that in every big city. I go home alone at night and nothing ever happened to me. Many people help you when you need help, on the train you don't have to be afraid and burglary would never be with me either. I've lived here since I was little and I've never had anything stolen. The police are very represented and you are rarely alone on the street.
Posted: December 30, 2024It depends where exactly you are there ate safer places like Gohlis and Waldstraßenviertel and unsafer Plates like Eisenbahnstraße and Connewitz. Else it's a very nice city with a good mix of City, parks and some likes around the City. Everything is good reachable with the local transportation or by bike/walking.

Especially at the main station or for example the eisenbahnstrasse, there is a fair amount of sexual harassment, but t the main part of the city is quite save. I am generally not easy to scare of, so I wouldn’t say it’s the savest place, but for the most part it’s quite fine.
Posted: December 25, 2024All in all it’s a safe city. After dark I’m quite scared and I had bad experiences with aggressive guys in the club for example. I’m as scared as in every city or place where men are. I don’t know anybody who was in a really dangerous situation that escalated. When I was scared by male people walking behind me, I could always escape the situation. My girls and me always call each other at night. One special thing about Leipzig is, that here are more right winged people that in western Germany. So for example wehen I was walking with non white men, white men showed the white power symbol to us.

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! :)
