How safe is Munich?
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.
Posted: June 30, 2025Munich 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.
Posted: June 27, 2025Munich is a pretty safe city. Of course, everywhere something can happen. But in daily life and even walking in the night alone as a women feels very safe. Just take care on the things, you would do in every other country as well and then you are fine. :)
Posted: June 16, 2025Depends on where you are, at bigger streets with many people and with daylight ist pretty save I guess, just try to avoid dark streets with homeless people at the night, try not to be completely alone and it will be fine.

To me I never experienced any crime, to myself or friends. I am living at the central station. And even there I feel safe. But its because the police is very present in this city. They are everywhere.

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!

Munich is fun! The transportation is easy to figure out, and I enjoy going to the grocery stores to get my food. I have limited travel experience, but I felt safe here. You will enjoy it if you like museum hopping, and drinking beer! Lol
