How safe is Osnabruck for female travelers?

Solo travel

My experience in Osnabrück eas amazing. I found a really lovely host via Be Welcome who even gave me her bike to use! I had a wonderful time in this small cute city. Everything is reachable by bus or bike or even foot. Roses and lavender were blooming and the people were friendly. I felt very safe, even on the main roads and city centre at night.

Pretty safe city I would say. There are areas where intoxicated people hang out during the night. I would avoid these areas. If you don't feel safe, there's also a women's only taxi that's subsidized by the city.

I would describe Osnabrück as a very save city. I would not got to the Neumarkt at night because it is a bit creepy there. The Altstadt is very beautiful and Osnabrück has much to offer. I recommend the club called "kleine Freiheit" because as a woman I feel very safe when clubbing there.

I really feel comfortable and relaxed here. I live in the heart of the city and usually observe people boozing around and dancing, however all of them are quite positive and not aggressive at all! I have never had a feeling of stress here.

This city has a remarkable sense of safety; it's perfectly fine to take a stroll even after the sun goes down. You’ll feel at ease exploring the streets and soaking in the evening vibes. By the way, you can visit the city center, the botanical garden, and etc

Germany is one of the safest countries in Europe. I usually travel at night. I have never had any problems so far. Since Osnabruck is a small town, the possibility of such things happening here is very low.
