How safe is Munster?
I would say all in all Münster is a safe city to travel in. When I’m walking around at night with my female friends I usually don’t feel uncomfortable. However there are a few places where I’m always extra careful, like the central train station! Especially at night time there are always a few aggressive & drunk people. But most of the time you’ll find a lot of police officers walking around, making sure you’re safe. I would recommend walking around without fear, while maintaining a healthy awareness of others. :))
Posted: July 14, 2025It’s a small city of old rich people, students and families. I never had a problem walking home late. There is just inoffensive homeless people at the train station. Really safe city for girlies ! I would recommend not to go near Bremer Platz at night if u want to feel a 100% safe but it’s really ok and I never had a problem (I live one street away from this place)
Posted: June 27, 2025Münster is a student city. It offers a secure and welcoming environment. It is also a bicycle city. I always feel safe to bike home alone after a party. The crime index is very low compared to other German cities.
Posted: May 25, 2025Nice place, never have any problems. BUT! Bahnhof - as always - is not so pleasant. There can be a lot of homeless or so, and sometimes near “kebab” and others food corners can be groups of men. Just once guys said something after me, but I went away. So - not alone at night there, girls, plz! Im not sure in this area🙏

Münster is a safe place. But after dark the Area at the Train Station is Not that safe for a girl who is walking alone. There are many robberies in the night in that Area. The Most places are very safe

it‘s super safe, in 4 years of living here nothing has happened to me or any of my friends, even catcalling is very unusual! Around the main station there are more weird people, like it is everywhere but other than that there is no place that i would call unsafe
