Is Mainz safe for solo female travelers?

Mainz is generally safe for solo female travelers. The city has a low crime rate and locals are typically welcoming and helpful. However, as with any major city, it's important to stay aware and cautious, especially at night or in less crowded areas. Some parts of the city, like the Mainz Hauptbahnhof (Main Station) area, can be a bit sketchy at night. Utilize common sense, stay on well-lit paths, and avoid displaying visible signs of wealth. Avoiding late-night solo travel whenever possible is a good precaution, but overall, Mainz is a safe and friendly place to visit.

Mainz is a very safe city all in all, sometimes you’ll see strange people but normally the won’t do anything to you, the worst they will to is make strange noises towards you when walking by or looking at you

Honestly, Mainz feels very safe to me. The worst interactions I generally have are with rude waiters, which should give you an idea of how safe the city feels to me. I walk alone at night regularly and I've never had any issues.

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
