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
Posted: March 24, 2025It’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.
Posted: March 13, 2025I have lived in Munich my whole life and travelled a lot, and nothing compares to the safety I feel in the streets of Munich. Of course there are the worries shared by women across the globe that sometimes also creep into my mind, but in general even at night i have not had a bad experience.

Munich is by far one of the safest cities in Germany, so you not necessarily have to worry about anything but you know men exist and you might get catcalled or get an unnecessary comment here and there

We have lots of police officers in public places. For sure there are criminals like in every other big city in Germany but I feel pretty safe. I just don’t like walking in the dark at all. If I needed help other people were very kind and helpful.
Posted: February 26, 2025Munich is super beautiful. During the day, I already felt safe, of course, it is a big city and unfortunately, you sometimes get strange looks in the subway. Alone, I would be scared at the train station or in such surroundings.
Posted: February 19, 2025All in all Munich is a pretty clean and safe city but like any place on this planet you have to be a bit more careful as a woman. Maybe dont travel by yourself when it gets dark. Most of the time men will 'only' make a few stupid comments but you neuer know for sure.

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!!
Posted: March 21, 2025Great 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!
