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.
Posted: October 3, 2024Munich 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
Posted: September 15, 2024Munich feels pretty safe, I don’t usually get harassed by people, you sometimes get weird looks, but mostly for looking out of the ordinary.

Munich is one of the safest citys in Germany. You can even be at the trainstation at Night, without having to worry too much. The question is weather you even want to be there, because its Not the most beautiful Place in the city… In my oppinion, Munich is one of the safest places for wimen to go!
Posted: August 28, 2024I‘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)

Most Munich Areas are very safe and people tend to be helpful in dangerous situation. Public transport is safe, Police is nearly everywhere in dangerous areas. Don't let yourself be approached by people who seemed drugged, drunk or asking for money and you will walk around freely and safely
Posted: August 21, 2024It feels very safe in general, no worries about being there alone as a woman. Just avoid areas like Hauptbahnhof or Ostbahnhof at night, if you are alone. Also definitely avoid Freiham, would not recommend staying there as a woman. At night it feels very unsafe there.
Posted: August 18, 2024Munich is one of the safest places to be in my experience. Of course something can happen, there are criminals everywhere, but I habe grown up in Munich and nothing had ever happens to me or my friends.

One of the safiest Cities in Europe. No problem to be outside alone in the night... Many policemen present for security... though not much criminality... especially save for women going out in the evening. You can use public traffic, until 1 o' clock, afterwards there are some night buses, you can use without being afraid.

I don’t think you have to worry about Solo traveling in Munich it is super save at night to walk alone home oder to drive with public transportation! You can do everything as usual it is not common to move with Uber from place to place due to its smaller number of inhabitants

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!
Posted: August 7, 2024I visited for 2 weeks, fortunately I had free accommodation (visited a friend’s sister). Munich has many interesting museums to offer and many other places and attractions like surfing on the river in the middle of the city:) Overall I liked it but 2 weeks for me was a bit too much.

Hello I'm Cecilia. I love travelling and learning new languages. I also like to write poems and successfully turn one of them into a song (it's on music platforms! Check the link above to check my music out). A bit introverted but when we get to know each other, we'll have so much fun!
