Never had a bad experience there even late at night. Sometimes stupid drunk people but mostly young students, which are harmless. Catcalls sometimes happen, and I would not recommend parks while dark

Karlsruhe is in my opinion safe, but there are some areas where I would not go alone after dark. These areas are around Werderplatz and in Oberreut. But other than that it’s safe, at least I feel safe. The Main station is also mostly safe, as there is a lot of police walking around and checking everything.
