How safe is Aachen for solo female travelers?
Solo travel
I visited for an exhibition and to see the cathedral which is very ancient. Aachen is a beautiful town and very safe. I stayed centrally and it was an easy walk frim the station, and very easy to get everywhere on foot.

at the hbf area there might be drunk people but they are usually harmless. There are also night busses on the weekends till 2am Most crowded street is ponttor and there are always students on the streets, its a young city bushof is slightly less safe other than that its safe enough to come home alone after midnight as a woman
Posted: November 12, 2025Aachen is a city at the border of Belgium and The Netherlands. I personally never had any issues even though I like going out late. The only concern is that there’re a lot of homeless people and drug addicted people on the streets. It depends on where you go.
Posted: August 19, 2025All in all, Aachen is a safe city with a lot of students living there. The typical places you should avoid at night are the region around Kaiserplatz (there are a lot of homeless people and junkies) they usually do not do anything, but you never know, and it is better to avoid the region around the Rothe Erde, as well as Aachen Bushof (the busstation area) and the trainstation there. Stay safe! I generally avoid parks in the dark.

About me
Hey there, I am Pauline, a 19 year old Student from Germany. For the moment I still live in Belgium near the border to Germany where the next big City is "Aachen" (a quite famous German City actually with an amazing christmas market in winter). In 2026 I'll probably switch my studies from "social science studies" to "early childhood education" and will therefore move to a different city in Germany (probably Cologne or Düsseldorf). I am a nature and book lover, enjoy writing, being in cafés on rainy days and spending evenings with family or friends. I absoluteley love my parttime job in kindergarten and when it comes to sport I am a passionate dancer. I am an absolute foody and I love a good balance between alone / selfcare time and social activities / meeting new people. In the past I have been traveling to a few European Countries (mostly with my family). Now I would consider a really good Trip as a mixture of safety and spontaneity, exploring nature and city life and getting an authentic insight in a different culture. I am really looking forward to exploring the World, but know myself as a rather cautious and from time to time quite anxious person when it comes to facing big changes like traveling to an unknown country alone. So I am thankful for any kind of Support from this Community 🥺🙏
