Overall it is pretty safe, robberies are very uncommon. I would not recommend walking alone after dark though, but I never would no matter where. It hast gotten worse the past few years but it is still pretty safe.

About Me

Hey:) My name is Suyeija and I live in a rather small town in Germany (Bavaria). I study primary education here - nearly finished. I love the sun and being outside, seeing new things and meeting people. I tend to be a few minutes late because I’m pretty easily distracted and there’s always things catching my attention. I could stay days in places like museums or book shops. I would love to learn other languages but I’m rather shy when it comes to speaking - not so with German and English (I talk a lot). I’ve never done a solo trip for longer than 2 nights but I want to get to that:)
