As 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

I think it’s pretty safe because it’s a student city. But of course you have to be careful. Don’t walk alone so much in the dark when it’s really late. And it helps to have someone with you . I mostly am alone in the city. But I need to have someone outside

Hi guys! I’m Chantelle 21 years old! I really love travelling but ive always been limited to doing it with friends. But I want to try solo travelling and doing things when I want rather than waiting for someone! I hope we get to meet and have fun together.
