Is Munich Safe for Women?

In my experience, you can move freely around the city. As in any big city, you should of course always keep a close eye on your surroundings in order to detect sketchy situations in advance. At night it's best to move in groups.

No need to worry about safety if you're travelling to Munich, it's one of the safest cities I've lived in. Of course this doesn't mean you throw your common sense away, but just that you don't have to worry about getting home safe after a night out.

Munich has its sketchy areas, but is overall very safe. I haven’t had any problems as a woman walking alone at dark, but before midnight. I am concerned about the occasional sexual harassment as I get some stares (I look different from the average German), but haven’t experienced anything serious. Nor have I felt particularly unsafe. That having been said, I am slightly physically imposing. Maintain the usual awareness, keep a close eye on your items, and there are rarely issues.

Munich is the safest city in Germany. The people are very helpful and open. As a woman in Munich, you don't need to be afraid of travelling alone or being out in the evening. I can only recommend everyone to visit munich, it is a very beautiful city.

I always feel pretty safe in Munich. Nothing bad ever hapoened to me here, but I'm a very cautious person so i never go to parks alone at night or through dark small streets for example. I like the city!

It is really super safe and I walked alone in many places and never worried about anything. In public transportation you can go to many places. Also, I go home late alone and I have never had any problem.

Munich is a very safe city. If you are mindful with your personal belongings it is all fine. The main station and Stachus and Ostbahnhof areas are a bit tricky because of homeless and drunk people at night. If you feel unsafe, don’t walk around in the dark alone, but I personally never had issues with that.

Group travel experience

I was with some friends in Munich so I really feel safe. The new eve was really great with a lot of fireworks, some time too near me ahaha. I really like the history of the city through museum and to walk to the different place !

Couple travel experience

I stayed at a Wombats City Hostel which turned out to be incredibly nice. I was with my friend and we shared the room with two other girls. I felt super safe most of the time. However, I always felt a bit wary at night, especially when venturing down dimly lit streets, even though there were two of us. The people were really friendly. Surprisingly, there wasn't much to do on Sundays after 4PM, but it was still delightful to walk around outside. It was much better than I expected! I highly recommend visiting.

Couple travel experience

Munich has several of the best art museums I’ve ever been to. Great collections and great audio guide which is so very helpful for understanding the works. This is a city for art lovers! The cost of living is quite high though…

Solo travel experience

I stayed at The Tent Munich which operates during the summer months. It only cost 10€ a night and was the best hostel experience I've ever had! Met so many amazing people there and even ended up going on the do more travel with some of them! It's in a foresty area only 20mins from the main station with the tram which is just down the road. Honestly this hostel was the highlight of the trip. It has cheap food and beer as well as a bonfire where everyone gathers at night. Munich itself was amazing so many things to see and do lots of cool areas and museums. I did a free walking tour on my first day and met some cool people through that as well! A few of us also did a day trip to Neuschwanstein Castle which was definitely worth the early morning wake up. Munich is also a great base to go and visit Dauchau concentration camp which is definitely worth a visit, especially as it's free, and a tour is only 4€ which I also recommend but it's definitely very heavy stuff and we all felt very drained afterwards. Overall I met so many amazing people in munich and going just before October fest is great because it's not too crazy or expensive yet.
