It's very safe. Sometimes after dark I feel a bit uneasy as there are some drunk and some weird people, but not too much happening and I never actually had some problems, even though I walk and take the bike at any time of the night. Just keep an eye open!

Tübingen is a very cute, small, cozy, picturesque city near Stuttgart. Its atmosphere is strongly defined by the University of Tübingen, which draws in a lot of international students and leads to 1/3 of the city's population being students. Also, a lot of families with children and older people live here. In the warmer half of the year and on numerous events (regional markets, chocolate market, music and film festivals) a lot of tourists come to Tübingen. The city center is a very pretty old town with lots of cafés and bars. Overall, most of Tübingen are very safe areas, even at night. Of course you might sometimes see people that might not be doing well, such as homeless people, but there are very few of them and rarely bother other people on the streets. I myself have always felt safe in every corner, park, and the train station too. If you ever feel uncomfortable, there are usually other people around who will help you when you give signals.

Tübingen is a little city where I feel safe. I come from a bigger city in France and compared to there I feel here like in a little bubble an safe place. But I still never walk home alone at night :)
