Safety at night:Safe

Augsburg is generally known for its safety, including during the night time. It is a student city with good lighting and regular police patrols. Although no city is without crime, incidents are relatively low in Augsburg. It's common to see people walking alone at night.

Public transportation:Safe

People in Augsburg respect personal space, and incidents of street harassment are rare.

Petty crimes:Low

Augsburg enjoys a low level of petty crime like pickpocketing and purse snatching, especially in comparison to other European cities. However, just like everywhere else, it's always advised to be mindful of belongings, staying alert in crowded places, and using common sense while travelling. Most locals are known to be honest and welcoming to tourists. Public transportation and tourist areas are secured and usually have a police presence.

Tap water:Very safe

In Augsburg, the tap water is of excellent quality and is perfectly safe to drink.

Is Augsburg safe to travel?

Family travel experience

we felt safe during the day but sometimes when it got dark, there were a lot of wannabe-gangsters around the bus stations. but nothing bad ever happened. we recommend pretty much all the sights we visited, the golden room was very pretty and there's a lot of detail so you could spend hours looking at the murals, the fuggerei was interesting, there's a dig site right beside the dome... we lived in an airbnb outside of the city centre, about an 20min bus ride to the main attractions. the busses drove regularly and we had no issue getting around. the biggest problems we had was with leaving our luggage at the train stations. we could not find a safe to put them in so we had to leave early.
