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.

It's so safe, probably the safest place in the world, it's great. It's really safe. Beautiful place. You probably won't feel safer anywhere else. I once felt very unsafe, but then I moved to Karlsruhe. Great city.
Posted: June 11, 2025relatively safe, given its not that small of a city. Lots of students and young people, quite clean. there sure are a few sketchy areas, as are in any other city, so I would not feel comfortable going there at night, but throughout the day it’s fine.

I used to live there for 8 months and it was okay. Like everywhere, sometimes people are high or helpless and the city don't seem to care about it. In specially in the south part of the city, this is the part where i feel less confortable. I'm white, queer looking woman. I don't recall being harassed. But i must say, i'm not a nightlife person so i can't tell about the streets in nightlife hot spots, but never heard anything
