It is generally safe but few times people might be a little biased towards other races! I generally do not react much to any such looks or comments but i was once told in an angry time to speak German while i was talking to a friend in my mother tongue! It was weird!

Well Magdeburg is just like every other german City. It’s basically safe. I don’t feel unsafe when I’m waking outside by Day and not necessarily when I’m walking outside by night. I depends on which area your in and on what day. When there was an Football game and your walking outside at night, the chance is high that you meet more drunk men than usual, wich makes it unsafer and scarier. It’s just a normal city in Germany. I don’t feel unsafe alone at night, but if something slightly weird or...

It is always depending on the city district you are. At day is everything fine. If someone can bring you home, would be always the best especially at night. Walk never alone through parks, when there are no lights.

It's usually safe but in some areas I can't say anything but in the city centre where I live it's pretty safe and I love being here. I have heard some things from my German friends that it's not safe sometimes but I have never experienced it.

About me

I'm an Indian student in Germany trying to see as much of Europe as I can before my visa runs out! 🇮🇳🇩🇪 I love nature, old buildings, and finding the best views. My travel style is "80/20" 80% healthy living and 20% eating all the local pastries I can find. I’ve become a pro at sleeping on long, cheap bus rides just to get to a new city for the weekend. Whether it’s hiking or just getting lost in a new town, I'm always up for an adventure and a good photo! 🌍📸
