Lüneburg is a small student city. During the day it is a very safe city. At night i would try to avoid the parc and station, but i never lived an unsafe situation even there. I feel very safe in Lüneburg generally. It is a political left orientated city where especially students are very aware and paying attention on how the people around them are doing.

So Lüneburg is actually the place I feel most safe out of the places I’ve lived so far. It is a tiny city and the people are very left/liberal, there’s a lot of communities and a generally helping vibe across town. I have lived here for more than 3 years now and have not been catcalled or harassed once. Hamburg is the next bigger city which is easily accessible by train (30 min) and it definitely is a different vibe there. So going for a trip to Hamburg I would recommend being a little more cautious, I still feel fairly safe there too though.

Lüneburg is a small town, which is why there is not much activity in the night. So one should know that while walking around at night, the chances of being alone are quite high, which can feel strange. However, I have never heard about events like robbery or rape and I personally feel as safe at night as one can be, being a woman.
