I am lucky and never had a problem in Bonn. But of course I avoid darker places in the nighttime and prefere to walk home in company. Still its a studet city and i think its very safe compared to berlin gor example.

Generally very safe in the 5 years I‘ve lived here. If I‘m walking by myself in the dark however I won‘t listen to music and pay attention to my surroundings more. Don‘t linger around the central station at night time, junkies on crack can be quite scary.

It's mostly safe. Like in a lot of german cities there is a bot of a drug problem around the central station. I wouldn't recomend to stay in Tannenbusch or Bad Godesberg, but the other parts of town are quite nice!

Living here for 3 months already, I would say it is a small, beautiful and quite town. It has definitely some history to check on. It is also a very excellent location, close to big cities like Köln and Düsseldorf.
