Is Mainz safe for women?

There are incidents of catcalling and rape (check on Instagram @catcallsofmainz), but not frequent. POC are more exposed. Attacks on queer people are very seldom. The city is politically green/conservative/social democratic, very few right populist voters. With regards to crime and drug abuse, it's much safer than Frankfurt. It's also safer than Wiesbaden downtown.

Pretty safe but there can be some unruly people at night, definitely advised to walk with a partner or group at that time. Otherwise very family oriented and full of quiet suburbs. Police are also easy to find

A calm town, friendly people, welcoming to others. You can spend evenings at the river Rhein or stroll through the city. There is a University in Mainz, dedicated to the guy who invented the printing press, so many students live in Mainz.

Mainz is a very safe city for solo travelling, being a rather small german city. In comparison if you would like to travel around for example to Frankfurt be aware to stay away from the "Bahnhofsviertel" during night time- the district near Frankfurt Main stations. In Mainz it would make sense to stay in the city centre, since depending in which outer parts of the city you would like zo stay in, it can become difficult to come home tonight without a Taxi. Please use a taxi driver instead of Uber! They might be a bit more expensive, but will bring you home safely.
