Solo travel

a lot of nice restaurants and stunning view at elbe river. there's not as much of a problem with sexual assault and feeling of unsafety as you would expect. only at night or in the outer skirts it might be a little scary at times. people tend to be a little cold/neutral, and watch out if you're a woman of colour, since the people sometimes tend to be annoyed or even openly racist when you speak foreign languages (e.g. arabic). otherwise still a very beautiful city with great infrastructure and a lot to explore. police is reliable.

Solo travel

ok, dresden is quite an expensive city but in a week I was able to spend about 100€ (maybe it's cheap for you), there are a lot of youth events where different freaks gather (I advise you to go to the park in Neustadt!!) also if you are interested be sure to go to the open space, these guys sometimes organize cool meetings and be sure to TRY THEIR SHAWARMA. the downsides are the rather expensive city transport and the constant problems with trains (definitely buy tickets on Flixtrain!! they are much cheaper there) and I strongly advise against walking alone at night, there are a lot of drunk...

Group travel

I traveled with a bunch of female friends. In our group I always felt safe, because I had people around me. If I were travelling alone I would have probably not gone out late, because Dresen still is a big city. We stayed at the AO Hostel. It’s very recommended. Cheap, nice rooms, good breakfast even and close to the city Center. But I’m sure staying at a hostel in Neustadt is even more of an experience. When visiting Dresden you definitely have to check out Neustadt for bar hopping. Spending the afternoon/ evening at the Elbufer, ordering food and having a chat when the weather is warm...

Dresden is a safe city, during the day there won’t happen anything. In the night it’s not dangerous, but you rather be careful than sorry. In the old city you don’t have to worry at all and in the new city there are always lovely people, being happy to help

Dresden is generally considered a safe city. During the day you can move around comfortably, and at night busy areas are usually calm (sometimes full of people but only in the centre) —normal caution is sufficient.

Dresden is a pretty safe city. You need to be careful at night if you are using the tram and be aware that the famous christmas markets are a hotspot of theft and drunk men. In comparison to other parts of the city. But in general you can move around pretty easy, wirh exeption to the 13th february, when there are Nazis demonstrating in the city.
