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!

Mainz is super safe. There are always people around, so you’re never alone! There are many contact points or police in case something should happen. The people are very open, friendly, and helpful!
Posted: January 2, 2025i feel very safe in Mainz. I have never experienced any kind of harassment or something similar. The only thing i experienced was catcalling from people that are sitting in their cars and driving by.
Posted: December 26, 2024There 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.
Posted: August 2, 2024Pretty 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

My name is Victoria, but you can call me Vici! I'm a 24 year old student in Mainz, an eager reader and a nature lover 🌲🍄🟫🗻✨. I haven't really had the opportunity to travel a lot and want to change that plus taking part in making it possible for others as well. I want to hike and do more backpacking/bushcraft activities- camping outdoors (without tent), being able to deal with what nature hands us, etc. If you're interested in that too, I'd be happy to have a companion along the way! And if not but you're looking a place to stay: My door is open! ♥️🪲🌱
