How safe is Nuremberg?

I think it’s pretty pretty safe. I’ve been out all night by myself and apart from the train stations and eve teasers I feel safe everywhere else. The police is also accessible. If you ignore the crackheads near the hbf you’ll be fine. It’s probably one of the safest medium cities

Nuremberg is overall a pretty safe City in my opinion. Have been here a few times and never really noticed anything suspicious or weird. Never had an on edge feeling either. Have also been solo most of the time and never had any issues at all. I would say it’s definitely a good enjoyment and night life for any age group is pretty enjoyable and always find new people that are very kind as well. Trains are also very safe for any solo travelers. Would definitely recommend!

Nuremberg is a very safe city. The mood of the city is very familial. Just walk your way and no one will bother you. Nevertheless there are always a lot of unappropriate stares from men especially during summer.

the main train station is the most scarrying part, also some underground stations, less light- difficult architecture easy to hide, it depends in what part of city you are moving- the east, north is the most safe

It ist a big german city … thera are not safe and less safe areas less safe ist the main railwaystation/ hauptbahnhof and the area south to it (südstadt) but overall I think it ist moderate - but I am born in this big city - if you live in a safer county or a small village I think the big city can be very scary as it has drunk and crazy people … Write someone and call them while walking around in the dark to feel safe - you probably woun’t get hurt

“Overall, I feel Nuremberg is a safe city, including its surroundings. However, the main train station area at night can feel less secure. It’s best to avoid lingering there unnecessarily or leave quickly. Otherwise, the city is welcoming and safe.”

Nuremberg is overall a great city, its even in the statistics of the Police. The Neighborcuty Furth, is even the savest city of Bavaria multiple times in a row. One should just be careful at the main trainstation when its late but they get that already in their grip

I would’ve said that it’s safe as it can be for just regular city, fairly there are a lot more dangerous cities in Germany than Nürnberg. I’ve been living here for around a year, and Thank God nothing happened to me, I feel pretty safe just walking around city. But I would highly recommend to avoid being alone out in late, dark hours and be aware of your surroundings. But overall I would recommend to visit this beautiful city.

I am just having a good life here. People are kind and also going out (at night) is not a big deal. It has never happened anything bad to me and police officers are also out at night. If there would happen anything I would definitely know what to do or where I get help

It feels pretty safe, if you know where you have to go. But in some places i dont feel very safe as a women. For example when walking home alone in streets, where there is no light. I feel like many people would help when you are in need, wich makes me feel more comfortable when beeing alone. .

Is Nuremberg worth visiting?

Nuremberg is a place when I felt safe and it has become totally iconic for me! I’ve been there for a few days (cheap flights) and it’s really worth it. First of all, I can highly reccomend long walks through the town; it’s really cute and I’m sure you’re gonna like it. German which I met were very helpful, but still all you need is map. Museum DB (of communication) and museum of Albrecht Durer (who was born here) were really cool to see too.

About Me

hellooo <3 I was wondering: Are there people like me out there, who feel like we could all connect a little more in an easy way? I‘d like to have friends all around the world and didn’t know where to start until I looked for apps like these. I‘d love to connect with comrades especially - being anti-genoc*de and caring for human rights is non negotiable! 🙏❣️ Besides that I’d say I am easy going hehe. I love to read, I love music and dancing, I like writing, I am into holistic wealth, self reflecting and I’m a fresh freelance photographer. In nuremberg I also work in different cultural fields. I love food and checking out local food places. (Who doesn’t?!) I like to philosoph about life, simultaneously sometimes I just want to have fun and feel “light” and party in the “coolest bar in town”.. Which is not always easy in the world we live in, but I really want to make the best out of it💚 Looking forward to connect!!
