Munich is a beautiful city and felt so good and warm (spiritually and physically) I stayed two nights in a hotel very close to the train station which made transportation so much easier from the airport and to other cities. City central is really pretty with parks. I definitely recommend having picnics with coffee and pastries or takeout food in close parks. I went to popular landmarks because it was my first time so there is a lot I had missed out on but I can recommend Allianz Stadium and BMW Museum. Both was amazing if you are into it And if you are not you can go to near mountains or...

That is the first time I was in foreign country alone. My hotel was near by the main train station. When I went out from the hotel. There was someone follow behind me. So be careful and be safe if you are alone.

Solo travel

LOVED IT!!! Highly recommend!!! I went to Munich to visit a friend and it’s still one of my top 10 experiences. The city is pretty safe, I never felt unsafe once even walking at night. 10/10 recommend the eisbach if you get a chance! The museums and buildings were incredible I have so many photos!!! The most expensive thing for me was the plane ticket, I didn’t pay for housing or anything like that bc I stayed with a friend so the trip for me was pretty cheap. Honestly even the museums and all that were reasonably priced!

Munich is really safe, but during nighttime I wouldn't recommend taking the underground by yourself, especially if you're a woman, because there are many drunk people. But if you stay away from them you should be totally fine, even by night.

I would say Munich is a very safe city. I live here and have never seen anyone I know struggle or find themselves in a dangerous situation. Maybe it can be scary to walk home alone at night if you live somewhere where it's very uncomfortable at night, but I live in the center and I've never had this problem.

Munich has a low crime rate (most common crimes are vandalism and theft) and is mostly safe during the day. But watch out in the night. There are weird men going around, so I recommend to not go out alone in lonely & dark areas

About me

Im Noa and im 20 years old, i love to travel any chance i get and love to connect to people and save money(trying to get around as cheap as possible). I would be happy to meet up with people and show them around, maybe even host someone, and im definitely interested in being hosted. Went to Romania to see my girlfriend for the first time (we used to be long distance and now live together) in a 40 hour bus/train ride which was annoying and exciting. I love food and im current doing an Apprenticeship as a Chef (3rd year). I love nature and animals. Im also interesting in homesteading and being self sufficient, and id really love to act out those things when im older and more capable.
