Trier is honestly really beautiful. I enjoyed my time there even though it was fairly hot. My friends and I planned a small trip around the city and my favourite part was Porta Nigra. I hade some guys in my Friend Group so I felt rather safe, so I didn't pay too much attention to my surroundings and I can't make a detailled/accurate estimate

i‘d say it‘s pretty safe, mostly cultivated people except a few strange ones and sometimes creepy which i think you‘ll find everywhere but can avoid during daylight and if you‘re in the right parts of town wont bother you in the dark either (hopefully)

Trier is usually safe during daytime. At night I don't like to walk around just by myself... I have done it a few times but if there is another way I'd take it. Public Transports are super safe. I never had any issues there...
