Is Munich safe for women?

Munic is a big City. So there are of course some typicall things were you should pay attention. For example dont let your pag pack open and dont go into dark streets were there is no puplic light. But over all i feel very safe here and when you stay at places where many people are there is nothing to worry about

Munich is a very safe place to travel. You don't have to be worried at all. I can highly recommend it during every season. The police is not corrupt and you can also easily ask strangers for help. Enjoy your trip!

In my experience Munich is quite safe ! Maybe you don't want to be walking around near the central station but most places in the city are safe. Of course walking alone at night as a woman is not recommended

The crime rate in Munich is not very high. The police presence is very good. My tip for all girls who still don't want to travel alone on public transport in the evening: there is a taxi voucher worth €10 for every woman. This is available in the town hall, for example. You can redeem it from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. and take a taxi home safely.

Munich is a big city (at least in Germany). In the city center there are many people and therefore you have to take care of your belongings, because some of them are for sure looking for something to steel to make a living, but overall I feel very safe in Munich!

Munich is a very safe city, also in the night. You can walk around the city safely and without worries. I've been living in Munich for 5 years and never feel unsafe here, even as a woman alone in the night.

Munich is a very safe city… we are women so be careful anyways but generally speaking you will be okay unless you are completely drunk or being generally stupid… I would recommend not to stay in the parks too late at night alone because since covid the parks have sadly been taken over by teenage party goers

Munich feels pretty safe, I don’t usually get harassed by people, you sometimes get weird looks, but mostly for looking out of the ordinary.

I‘m a quite musculin presenting women so I feel very safe in munich. Also my rather feminin presenting friends never told me anything where they felt unsafe in munich. Thankfully we don’t really have too sketchy parts of the city. But maybe one should beware a bit more around the Central Station. I would say munich is a save city to travel to (also as a female solo traveler)

The place is very nice, I recommend visiting the concentration camp. It is very easy to get there, you take 1 train and 1 bus. I felt pretty safe and before it got dark I returned to the hostel. I hope the information helped you

I was staying in Munich just for a couple of days, so I didn’t have a lot of time, but I like the city so much! I really enjoyed walking by the river. There are bicycles everywhere! Prices are kinda high comparing to Prague where I live, but that’s live. Oh, and I was staying in Wombat’s City Hostel which is an amazing place to stay!

About Me

Hi, I am Miriam What should I say? Haven't described myself in a long time :) I try... I like nature although I live in the city. Especially lakes and woods. Doing music with other people is really a great way to communicate without words. I am dancing Forró. It's a brazilian dance. Therefore I often go to festivals in different places. Other from that I do different sports, like meeting people especially in nice places. Because often then there are also nice and open people 🙃 Sometimes I need time for myself. Then I watch series or I go for a hike. Or I try to read more. Which works sometimes better, sometimes less good 😊 So, that's it for the start.
