Is Munich Safe for Women? Crime Rate in Munich

In my opinion in many areas it’s pretty safe. During daylight it’s almost always fine. In the night or as soon as it gets dark, I’m not feeling safe 100% since sometimes I have the feeling that I’m the only person walking outside (especially in the outskirts of town).

I feel very safe. I walk around t night and have not to worry at all just be aware of your surroundings as you alway should be! I would not walk at night at the old botanical garden, there are junkies

Munich overall is a very safe city for women. Men most usually stay in their lane and are happy to help in other instances. Apart from possible pickpockets (it's not a known problem, but it's still a big city, so beware nonetheless) There is very little crime.

I feel like it is actually pretty safe in Munich. You just don’t feel the safest when you’re alone at night and walk down a dark alley. But that’s the same feeling in every town around the world tbh.

Most of the times Munich is a very safe city. Esspeccialy compared to others. I never got robbed or anything, but you should lock your bike. Public transport is also very safe, and Uber, and the drivers are helpful. Most of the times I drive home alone, nearly no problems ever. But beeing a girl and beeing way to drunk might be a problem at night.

I would say it is fairly safe but i would avoid the octoberfest and the whole area around it at that time because of all the drunken men Apart from that it is pretty safe and i feel comfortable walking home at night from the train/subway station

Most parts of Munich are safe. You can walk alone, even in some areas at night. However, avoid being alone at the main station at night. There are no pickpockets. Don't walk alone in the parks at night. You can talk to anybody if you need help.

i think it’s one of the safest german cities, but overall as a woman it’s always a little bit complicated. most of the people are nice and friendly. just as always stay away from the drunk old men. :)

Munich is a very safe city. Of course you should be more careful at night but overall I don't have any issues here. Plus, Women can pick up a Taxi voucher worth 10€ to use to get home between 10pm and 6am

Coming from a very insecure country, especially for women, I can also say Munich is one of the safest cities I have ever lived. I have never felt scared or in danger, event at night. Although it is big, it is somehow like a small village of sorts, pretty calm safe

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!!
