Munich 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.

Compared to most cities that big I think it’s pretty safe. However being a woman unfortunately you always feel not 100% safe. It’s not about the city it’s more about men in general. If you go to certain party areas or Octoberfest there’s a high chance meeting really weird men.

I find it mostly very safe Uncomfortable situations can happen during big events like the Oktoberfest or for example Football Games These events can be avoided and usually there is a lot of security and police around to keep the town safe during these big events

Overall, Munich is very safe, compared to other big citys in Germany (apart from the Oktoberfest and a few areas outside the city center). You shouldn't be alone at the big train stations (like Hauptbahnhof and Ostbahnhof) at night, and you should be at least a little bit careful walking alone at night. But most of the time I move around the city, also at night, without any major worries, rarely does anything happen here. The general crime rate in Munich is very low. However, I am white and racism in Germany is getting worse, so I can't say what it's like for PoCs.
Posted: February 11, 2025In my opinion Munich is the safest city I’ve ever lived in. I’m not scared or worried when I walk home by myself. Everyone is very helpful and friendly. Moreover the public transport also works very well during the night time. Therefore it’s easy to get home fast and safely.
Posted: February 4, 2025Munich is a very clean and safe city, not much going on at night, the Hauptbahnhof is slightly dodgy but not something to be worried about, just drunk people usually. There are Taxi Vouchers that you can get at the city libraries which give you 10€ discount on taxi rides, but only valid from 22-6am and only for women.
Posted: February 1, 2025Munich is very save in my opinion, since I have never seen or experienced a crime happening. This city is overall very tidy and secure, so I hardly have to worry about being robbed, leaving my bag at a restaurant while using the restroom is also not an issue for me.

Munich is super safe, even by international standards. You can walk around pretty much anywhere, even at night, without worrying too much. Of course, like in any city, you should stay aware of your surroundings and keep an eye on your stuff, especially in crowded areas. But overall, it’s a very chill and secure place to be!
Posted: January 27, 2025Super safe!!!! Come to Munich, I often walk around inter dark. Also after partying you can easily get home by foot or public transport. No worries at all. Also take bicycle, uber, taxi or roller just in case

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!
Posted: February 18, 2025I felt extremely safe, munich is a very safe city except for the Oktoberfest time because of all the tourists which are usually very drunk and act stupidly, other than that i felt very safe i took the U-ban (metro) alone everywhere. German food, in general, isn't that great. They have hood bread, tho. I recommend going to the BMW museum (if u like cars), the Olympia park, Marienplatz, Englischer Garten, Eisbachwelle (surfers wave), Hofgarten. And if u like hiking, there is Neuschwanstein castle and Marienbrücke (not exactly IN the city). If u want to experience the Oktoberfest vibes but don't like the crowds (which there are a lot of) (it's very overcrowded), i recommend going in mid april and attending the Frühlingsfest which is the same but not as well known so less people and more fun. I think it lasts about 2 weeks.
