How safe is Munich?

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

It’s quite safe. You can walk around at night, I’ve very seldomly been catcalled and never harassed! I always walked home safe and most people will help you if u need anything! Police is very helpful and will be there if u need them! Also a lot of lights in the Night etc.

I feel like Munich is a very safe city in general. I did experience small things, but coming from Spain I think I tend to compare, and by comparison I feel much much safer here than I ever felt in Spain. People tend to leave their stuff lying around and it doesn't get stolen (maybe bikes you have to be more careful), women walk home at night all the time, etc. Of course you're never 100% safe (specially nowadays), but I would say I feel better here

Of course something could always happen, but in my experience and especially in comparision it is a very safe city, where you don't have to worry about being alone or walking at night (even though it probably would be good to be with someone at night). A lot of people say you should avoid the main train station, there are some shady people. Nothing has ever happened to me but if you want to be 100% safe I'd recommend that.

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!!

Great parks to visit and the summer is even better. I loved the boat place on the bridge (do not remember the name). Architecture and streets are great for all day strolling around. Plus Christmas markets are really getting you in the mood!

About Me

Hey, I'm Marlene🌻 I enjoy being an old soul who reads or goes for a walk in the park. I write postcards to my loved ones when I'm somewhere. The idea that my friends and family know I'm thinking of them. I also love writing letters to my pen pals, because although writing letters is slow, it's also so much nicer and more lasting than a forgotten WhatsApp message. In general, I'm passionate about so many things! I love getting to know people and trying new things :) I'm always there when hiking, sightseeing, or enjoying a little fun drink! I really enjoy history, as well as cooking (I'm vegan).
