How safe is Regensburg?

Overall safe but we have one dangerous park next to the trainstation where you should not go and also some cases of sexual assault and rape but also not that often and mostly at night that park or certain parts bit more outside the city

Overall it is pretty safe, robberies are very uncommon. I would not recommend walking alone after dark though, but I never would no matter where. It hast gotten worse the past few years but it is still pretty safe.

Regensburg is safe to walk around alone. It is a very beautiful city and the people don't really care what you are doing. Everyone is doing their own thing. Just the Train Station is a little not so safe.

In my opinion you are pretty safe concerning hotels etc and in cafes/restaurants/swimming/… and pretty much everything throughout the day. In some of the parks you should be careful, especially in the dark, because of drunk people/ people on drugs. There have been quite some rape cases in Regensburg in the parks! Most of the people that are on the street and asking for money are nice (but still: beware of drunk people, especially men) I would always rather go home in a group than alone in the night or have someone on the phone! But I guess - sadly - that’s normal as a woman… In comparison to some other countries I would say Germany is ok-safe.

I wouldn't walk alone at night around the park and main train station but aside from that, it's pretty safe. The public transport in Regensburg is also safe, I've never really made negative experiences there.

Regensburg is a sweet town. I live there since 7 years and for me it feels more like a village. I never had bad experiences and I am not at all afraid of being hurt or robbed, even if i go through the city at night. People are really friendly :)

In general, I would say it's a safe place, even at night. Of course, there are some areas where I didn't feel comepletly safe at night, such as the area around the main station or Albertstraße. The lightning at night is good and the bus lines as well. On the weekends there are bus nightlines. Additionally, you should be careful with your bike, as thefts happen quite often. That's why I recommend using an old one;)

It’s a safe small town in Germany. You can walk around freely and enjoy the town and outskirts. Just close to the train station the feeling can get a little uncomfortable but nothing you have to be afraid of.

In general i feel safe in this city and often walk home alone at night or use public transport, though in these scenarios there is always a level of being anxious and uncomfortable. I have not experienced physical or sexual violence here but have experienced a lot of staring, some harassment and i have been followed by an old man once.

It’s safe overall, I‘d say. Walking home alone is not much of an issue for me and no real bad things have happened to me since I started living here. High Police presence in the city as well. Are around the train station is a bit sketchy, unfortunately.

About Me

Hey:) My name is Suyeija and I live in a rather small town in Germany (Bavaria). I study primary education here - nearly finished. I love the sun and being outside, seeing new things and meeting people. I tend to be a few minutes late because I’m pretty easily distracted and there’s always things catching my attention. I could stay days in places like museums or book shops. I would love to learn other languages but I’m rather shy when it comes to speaking - not so with German and English (I talk a lot). I’ve never done a solo trip for longer than 2 nights but I want to get to that:)
