I'd say it's a pretty safe city, I've never felt threatened in the slightest. I routinely walk around alone and at night. The city center is usually lively, especially on the weekends. I have heard of bikes getting stolen but it hasn't happened to me. But please keep in mind that I'm a white woman from Germany and can only speak to that specific experience

lots of foreigners staring at you and moving into your personal space. experienced comments several times and they wouldn’t go away even when I told them. at several places in the center there might be drunk people or taking drugs

Saarbrücken is a very peaceful city where a woman can go out alone at night without being scared. The only crimes that sometimes occur are robberies, but never once where you have to fear violence. Overall i can recommend Saarbrücken for solo travelers.

Saarbrücken is a city that feels safe, even though like any larger city it has its challenges. When you move around here, you quickly notice that most people are friendly and relaxed. Sure, there are neighborhoods where you might need to be a bit more cautious, especially at night, but that's the case in many cities, and overall I feel comfortable and safe in Saarbrücken. Saarbrücken is not a perfect place, but it is a city where you can live well if you go about with open eyes and common sense.

Most of Saarbrücken is safe and easy to walk through. The most interesting thing are in areas with many people but crowds are small. I have had some experience with cat-calling and unwanted attention on the tram but in 5 years living here not many troubles at all
