Is Munich Safe for Women? Crime Rate in Munich

i’m from berlin and munich feels so much safer. i always walk home alone at night and i‘m an anxiuous person but i feel safe. but i also live in the city center. but my friends here also feel really safe.

Munich is a very safe city, also to travel alone, there are just some parts of town, that are not advisable to go to, especially at night, like Neuperlach, messestadt or the train stations. The public transport is also fine, same here at night it can be a bit scary and it's always important to stay cautious about ur surroundings

really safe city, harassment happens but it more like exceptions to the rules. i can walk at night and in the areas where is no light and most likely nothing will happen to me. of course there are freaks who make you feel unsafe but not as much as in other cities i’ve been to

Very safe! People are genuinely honest and wouldn’t steal anything. You could leave your handbag in a cafe and go to the bathroom, in my experience. Re harrassment: it happens, especially on public transport/train stations. In my experience, women will usually look out for one another.

I dont know a lot yet but so far I have experience that everyone is just keeping to themselves which is comforting to me. At night I feel mostly safe walking around in public as long as I am I at a place where more people are around

I feel generally safe being outside late at night, but of course there are some areas where you have to be a little more careful than usual. You can get catcalled in crowded places like the central station or at big events like the Oktoberfest.

I loved my time in Munich! I got to experience many of its wonders - singing along to YMCA and John Denver at Oktoberfest, stumbling upon crazy cool landmarks like a palace and cathedral just by wandering around, and even learning that sea urchins have Zelda-boss-eyes and some fish have arms? My 4 days there were fantastic, filled with fun, new friends, beer, and pretzels (I actually prefer American pretzels). I felt very safe in Munich, even at Oktoberfest when squashed between thousands of people in the beer tents. Only one man tried to hit on me and multiple people stepped in to stop him. I made friends there quickly, though we parted ways at the end of the celebrations. I wasn't out at night except for taking the u-bahn back to my airbnb, which felt very safe even though I was quite tipsy. The ability to get around easily was AMAZING. Munich, and my subsequent trip to Berlin, made me fall in love with public transportation even more than I already was. I didn't need to rent a car - I could even get to the castle (Neuwaschstein? Sorry I totally forgot how to spell it) from Munich within 1.5 hours on a train. On my last day there I also stumbled upon an anti-fascism and pro-LGBTQ protest, which I joined for a short time. Happy to see people around the world fighting for what's right! The Munich Zoo was also great with large exhibits for their animals. Many of the primates looked bored and skinny though, which makes me worried about their health. All other animals seemed very well taken care of. The only downside to this trip was my Airbnb, where I was promised a single private room and was instead given a bed in a dining room of an apartment where multiple men were staying. The host left food out on the kitchen counter which collected flies and smelled after a few days. I tried to spend most of my time outside of the Airbnb, and really should've canceled and stayed elsewhere. I would highly recommend Munich for its architectural beauty, safety, ability to get around, and if you can make it - Oktoberfest!

What I did in Munich: Visited BMW Museum Visited Olympic Park Liked around Mariaplatz Square Ate a traditional meal in Mariaplatz Visited and took a tour of Bayern-München Allianz Stadium I was there a day and a half total. It was very safe and clean, the people are friendly to help guide me for transportation, all the places I visited to I was satisfied. I’m not a Maylee car person but it was cool to see the BMW museum and they have free bathrooms WC:) The Olympic park was very pretty and has a little hike at a hill you can see great views from. I felt safe even getting off my bus at 2AM, but kept being aware of my surroundings. Hostels are about $20-$25 USD a night. I highly recommend Munich!!
