It feels very safe and many pathways are well enlightened. If you can do not stay at Mombach or Lerchenberg. These feel less safe but over all are still not to be worried about. I have not experienced many problematic situations!

Hey:) i live and study in Mainz and feel at home here and safe. Definitely during the day, at night i’d say it’s the same safety hazards you’d have anywhere, I mean, men are men…🫠 Anyways, I often walked home alone after going out and nothing ever happened, stay safe girls xx

Mainz is a small city with pretty corners. It is famous for it's church and wine culture, and events like carnival. It is a safe city where I'm not scared to go outside, even when its dark outside. Even when it's crowded, e.g. on fairs and christmas markets, i don't have to worry about harassment or robbery.
Posted: February 2, 2025It is a very safe city. You don’t have to worry about walking in the dark by yourself or getting robbed or assaulted. Of course, there is always a minimal chance as everywhere, but I think that is is very unlikely to happen in Mainz. The public transportation is also really good.

Walking at night in public spaces such as the Schillerplatz is quite safe! What you should look out for is 'Fastnacht' - around that time the city is crowded and full of drunk people. Otherwise safety is valued highly here and even though you might come into contact with some drug addicts (especially around the central station) they mostly don't cause any trouble!
