How safe is Wurzburg?

It is super safe walking around, even at night, just stay away from Zellerau at night. Generally it is super safe, because it's a student city and definitely one of the safest places I've been in Germany. I have lived here for several years and never heard from friends of an incident.

I'd say residential neighborhoods and downtown are pretty safe. Strange of course on Friday and Saturday nights when a lot of people hang out. In any case, in my experience and in the experience of my acquaintances, there have been no assaults, harassment, or stalking.

It’s a safe city, not too big and very beautiful, but sometimes very touristic so then there could be pocket thieves. Also, there are some areas where burglaries take place, but I’ve never really personally had any bad experiences other than occasional cat calling in summer :)

It’s “completely” safe, I walk around at night all the time, even drunk and alone. Würzburg is just a lovely city! You don’t really have to worry about anything. Except maybe when going to the club about men approaching you inappropriately but I think you can’t be safe from that anywhere.

It‘s absolutely safe. Worst case is someone is stealing from you in public! Everybody is nice and wants to help. Don‘t know what to say any more. Würzburg is a lovely city. Has a nice river, clubs and bars.

Würzburg is very safe; many students live there, the police are in the city center, and in general, I am hardly aware of any crimes. I also don't feel uncomfortable in the city at night, and in general, Würzburg is very well-lit at night.

In general, it is a small and quiet city. There are so many universities in the city and it is called the university city and more than half of the population consists of students. There are not many foreign people in the city except students, the population of Germans is higher. Overall a city where I am not afraid when walking alone at night

Würzburg is quite safe. I have been out in midnight too. It is calm, small nice city. One doesn't need to be that much concern. Also, public transport is safe too. I am living here and never faced anything being worried.
