Is Munich Safe for Solo Female Travelers?

Solo travel

LOVED IT!!! Highly recommend!!! I went to Munich to visit a friend and it’s still one of my top 10 experiences. The city is pretty safe, I never felt unsafe once even walking at night. 10/10 recommend the eisbach if you get a chance! The museums and buildings were incredible I have so many photos!!! The most expensive thing for me was the plane ticket, I didn’t pay for housing or anything like that bc I stayed with a friend so the trip for me was pretty cheap. Honestly even the museums and all that were reasonably priced!

Munich is fun! The transportation is easy to figure out, and I enjoy going to the grocery stores to get my food. I have limited travel experience, but I felt safe here. You will enjoy it if you like museum hopping, and drinking beer! Lol

I loved my time in Munich! I got to experience many of its wonders - singing along to YMCA and John Denver at Oktoberfest, stumbling upon crazy cool landmarks like a palace and cathedral just by wandering around, and even learning that sea urchins have Zelda-boss-eyes and some fish have arms? My 4 days there were fantastic, filled with fun, new friends, beer, and pretzels (I actually prefer American pretzels). I felt very safe in Munich, even at Oktoberfest when squashed between thousands of people in the beer tents. Only one man tried to hit on me and multiple people stepped in to stop him. I made friends there quickly, though we parted ways at the end of the celebrations. I wasn't out at night except for taking the u-bahn back to my airbnb, which felt very safe even though I was quite tipsy. The ability to get around easily was AMAZING. Munich, and my subsequent trip to Berlin, made me fall in love with public transportation even more than I already was. I didn't need to rent a car - I could even get to the castle (Neuwaschstein? Sorry I totally forgot how to spell it) from Munich within 1.5 hours on a train. On my last day there I also stumbled upon an anti-fascism and pro-LGBTQ protest, which I joined for a short time. Happy to see people around the world fighting for what's right! The Munich Zoo was also great with large exhibits for their animals. Many of the primates looked bored and skinny though, which makes me worried about their health. All other animals seemed very well taken care of. The only downside to this trip was my Airbnb, where I was promised a single private room and was instead given a bed in a dining room of an apartment where multiple men were staying. The host left food out on the kitchen counter which collected flies and smelled after a few days. I tried to spend most of my time outside of the Airbnb, and really should've canceled and stayed elsewhere. I would highly recommend Munich for its architectural beauty, safety, ability to get around, and if you can make it - Oktoberfest!

What I did in Munich: Visited BMW Museum Visited Olympic Park Liked around Mariaplatz Square Ate a traditional meal in Mariaplatz Visited and took a tour of Bayern-München Allianz Stadium I was there a day and a half total. It was very safe and clean, the people are friendly to help guide me for transportation, all the places I visited to I was satisfied. I’m not a Maylee car person but it was cool to see the BMW museum and they have free bathrooms WC:) The Olympic park was very pretty and has a little hike at a hill you can see great views from. I felt safe even getting off my bus at 2AM, but kept being aware of my surroundings. Hostels are about $20-$25 USD a night. I highly recommend Munich!!

Great parks to visit and the summer is even better. I loved the boat place on the bridge (do not remember the name). Architecture and streets are great for all day strolling around. Plus Christmas markets are really getting you in the mood!

I felt extremely safe, munich is a very safe city except for the Oktoberfest time because of all the tourists which are usually very drunk and act stupidly, other than that i felt very safe i took the U-ban (metro) alone everywhere. German food, in general, isn't that great. They have hood bread, tho. I recommend going to the BMW museum (if u like cars), the Olympia park, Marienplatz, Englischer Garten, Eisbachwelle (surfers wave), Hofgarten. And if u like hiking, there is Neuschwanstein castle and Marienbrücke (not exactly IN the city). If u want to experience the Oktoberfest vibes but don't like the crowds (which there are a lot of) (it's very overcrowded), i recommend going in mid april and attending the Frühlingsfest which is the same but not as well known so less people and more fun. I think it lasts about 2 weeks.

Munich is generally safe, even at night or on public transport. Of course, like anywhere, it’s smart to follow basic safety habits - especially for example during Oktoberfest. But overall, you can really feel at ease here.

Munich is generally pretty safe The usual sketchy areas are: Stachus, central station and Sendlinger Tor But as long as you mind your own business and don't interact with or stare at the sketchy people there you shouldn't have any problems. But even at night I always felt safe getting home but you always have to be cautious of course!
