really safe student city. I never felt scared or unsafe walking around. the only issues you might encounter are at the areas of the main station and the bus terminal (zob), which are very monitored during the day but less at night, so I’d avoid those areas
Posted: August 16, 2026Passau is really safe, you should only be careful during the night around the train station and the central bus station (ZOB). Everywhere else you can walk alone without any safety issues and during the day everything is perfectly safe

It's pretty safe, but I'd generally avoid walking alone around the Inn river at night or around the train/bus station. In my 5 years I've never had an incident where I felt unsafe though. If you're with another friend you'll likely be fine.
Posted: June 23, 2025As a local woman walking around I feel safe, even at the local bus central and train station. Some areas have low light but regardless I feel safe. As long as you keep up typical precautions I’ve had no problems. Occasionally in broad daylight you have men yelling out of cars at you and maybe a weird guy trying to flirt here and there but I didn’t feel in danger from these encounters. As a woman travelling alone Passau would be 100% safe

Passau is a medium-sized city where almost everything is within walking distance. People know each other, which reinforces the feeling of security. In addition, the local university creates a very open-minded atmosphere in Passau. Only the area around the station and the ZOB is often the target of drunken prowlers at night. Nevertheless, I've never felt threatened when I've had to pass by there at night.
Posted: January 14, 2025In general it's quite safe, though there are some places we tend to avoid, especially at night. examlpes would be the ZOB and the Bahnhofstraße (Grain Station Street). The crime rate is moderate, mainly drug exchange crimes. We have lots of students, so there are quite a lot of party-goers at night. Chances of being harrassed/raped/robbed are quite low, I'd say, but I wouldn't feel 100% safe walking home from the club on my own at night though. All in all, it's not terrible but also not perfect

Hola ladiesss, I’m Lara, 20 years old, born and raised in Germany, and I want to learn as much as I can from the world! My family is originally from Turkey, and I am lucky to say that they taught me the language as well as the culture. The most important part of my life is family, but for me, family isn’t just the people I am related to; also a good amount of my friends I consider family. I am looking forward to getting to know each other :)

Will travel from germany to Romania (my Erasmus destination) this summer. I am excited for the people I meet along the way, for interesting conversations and for tasting local beer every once in a while ;)
