Is Munich safe for women?

In my experience Munich is quite safe ! Maybe you don't want to be walking around near the central station but most places in the city are safe. Of course walking alone at night as a woman is not recommended

The crime rate in Munich is not very high. The police presence is very good. My tip for all girls who still don't want to travel alone on public transport in the evening: there is a taxi voucher worth €10 for every woman. This is available in the town hall, for example. You can redeem it from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. and take a taxi home safely.

Munich is a big city (at least in Germany). In the city center there are many people and therefore you have to take care of your belongings, because some of them are for sure looking for something to steel to make a living, but overall I feel very safe in Munich!

Munich is a very safe city, also in the night. You can walk around the city safely and without worries. I've been living in Munich for 5 years and never feel unsafe here, even as a woman alone in the night.

Munich is a very safe city… we are women so be careful anyways but generally speaking you will be okay unless you are completely drunk or being generally stupid… I would recommend not to stay in the parks too late at night alone because since covid the parks have sadly been taken over by teenage party goers

Munich feels pretty safe, I don’t usually get harassed by people, you sometimes get weird looks, but mostly for looking out of the ordinary.

Munich is one of the safest citys in Germany. You can even be at the trainstation at Night, without having to worry too much. The question is weather you even want to be there, because its Not the most beautiful Place in the city… In my oppinion, Munich is one of the safest places for wimen to go!

I‘m a quite musculin presenting women so I feel very safe in munich. Also my rather feminin presenting friends never told me anything where they felt unsafe in munich. Thankfully we don’t really have too sketchy parts of the city. But maybe one should beware a bit more around the Central Station. I would say munich is a save city to travel to (also as a female solo traveler)

Most Munich Areas are very safe and people tend to be helpful in dangerous situation. Public transport is safe, Police is nearly everywhere in dangerous areas. Don't let yourself be approached by people who seemed drugged, drunk or asking for money and you will walk around freely and safely

It feels very safe in general, no worries about being there alone as a woman. Just avoid areas like Hauptbahnhof or Ostbahnhof at night, if you are alone. Also definitely avoid Freiham, would not recommend staying there as a woman. At night it feels very unsafe there.

I was staying in Munich just for a couple of days, so I didn’t have a lot of time, but I like the city so much! I really enjoyed walking by the river. There are bicycles everywhere! Prices are kinda high comparing to Prague where I live, but that’s live. Oh, and I was staying in Wombat’s City Hostel which is an amazing place to stay!

I visited for 2 weeks, fortunately I had free accommodation (visited a friend’s sister). Munich has many interesting museums to offer and many other places and attractions like surfing on the river in the middle of the city:) Overall I liked it but 2 weeks for me was a bit too much.
