Regensburg is a really small big city. The criminality is not that low for a German city, but me personally never happened to have sexuell harassment on the streets. But I'm also cautious. I ride with the bike in the night. Go the lighted ways.

Regensburg is entitled a drug checkpoint and drug addicted people hang around the train station. But apart from that it's a small city where you can meet very nice people anywhere, you just have to look out for the wrong ones.
