If you walked alone near by the main train station. Be careful there would be someone follow behind you. Maybe they want to steal something from you or get money. Don’t use cellphone when you walk on the street although you just want to use map.

Munich is generally safe, even at night or on public transport. Of course, like anywhere, it’s smart to follow basic safety habits - especially for example during Oktoberfest. But overall, you can really feel at ease here.

Munich is generally pretty safe The usual sketchy areas are: Stachus, central station and Sendlinger Tor But as long as you mind your own business and don't interact with or stare at the sketchy people there you shouldn't have any problems. But even at night I always felt safe getting home but you always have to be cautious of course!

The area around the main station is (as in many cities) to be avoid during night. In the center I always feel safe walking alone at night. The metro is mostly so full in late evening/night that it's also no problem haha. During the day I never felt unsafe anywhere in munich!

I've been living in Munich for 22 years, always walk or bike home from the club alone and had maybe one situation where I felt uncomfortable with a stranger, but not in danger. Of course, it depends on the area, my experiences were mainly in the city center/ Bogenhausen/ Schwabing/ Maxvorstadt.

Munich is a very nice city, i‘ve always felt safe. I've never been harassed. Sometimes I'm approached by people around whom I feel unsafe, but I never feel alone or helpless. In munich there is always someone who helps you and most of the people are very friendly.

That is the first time I was in foreign country alone. My hotel was near by the main train station. When I went out from the hotel. There was someone follow behind me. So be careful and be safe if you are alone.

Solo travel

LOVED IT!!! Highly recommend!!! I went to Munich to visit a friend and it’s still one of my top 10 experiences. The city is pretty safe, I never felt unsafe once even walking at night. 10/10 recommend the eisbach if you get a chance! The museums and buildings were incredible I have so many photos!!! The most expensive thing for me was the plane ticket, I didn’t pay for housing or anything like that bc I stayed with a friend so the trip for me was pretty cheap. Honestly even the museums and all that were reasonably priced!
