How safe is Osnabruck for solo 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.

Osnabrück is a nice small city. I should say that from my own experience it is pretty much safe, maybe during holidays around midnight can get bit sketchy, especially Neumarkt. It’s centre part and very lively, but at night I try to avoid, even though I didn’t have any problems, just bit weird vibe.

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.

About me

Hello guys!! I am Esra. I am 26. Now I am exchange student in Osnabrück-Germany. I really like traveling alone, but the most important thing for me when traveling is to make friends with the people living there and share cultures with them. I can also stay in hostels, but it's harder to make friends there. I’m definetly social butterfly 😇😇😇 And I love cooking Turkish food and meeting another cultures. This is so amazing for me. I am currently traveling all the time, but when my trip is over, I will return to Türkiye. When I return, I would like to host the people whose homes I stayed with in my own home.
