Safety at night:Safe

Nuremberg is generally safe to explore at night, especially in well-lit, frequented areas. However, common sense and caution are always recommended. Major streets are often busy, but being attentive is always wise. Nuremberg is a small city with efficient public transportation, so you can easily avoid walking in deserted or dark areas. Furthermore, local people are often willing to help if you need directions or have other concerns.

Public transportation:Safe

Public transport in Nuremberg is generally safe. The buses, trams and trains are regular, reliable, and are used frequently by locals and tourists. During peak hours, they can be quite crowded but generally, incidents of pickpocketing or harassment are low. It is also important to note that in off-peak hours, some routes can be quieter and fewer people might be around. Always remain aware of your surroundings and keep your belongings secure.

Street harassment:Low

Is Nuremberg worth visiting?

Solo travel

Nuremberg is a place when I felt safe and it has become totally iconic for me! I’ve been there for a few days (cheap flights) and it’s really worth it. First of all, I can highly reccomend long walks through the town; it’s really cute and I’m sure you’re gonna like it. German which I met were very helpful, but still all you need is map. Museum DB (of communication) and museum of Albrecht Durer (who was born here) were really cool to see too.

I think it’s pretty pretty safe. I’ve been out all night by myself and apart from the train stations and eve teasers I feel safe everywhere else. The police is also accessible. If you ignore the crackheads near the hbf you’ll be fine. It’s probably one of the safest medium cities

Nuremberg is overall a pretty safe City in my opinion. Have been here a few times and never really noticed anything suspicious or weird. Never had an on edge feeling either. Have also been solo most of the time and never had any issues at all. I would say it’s definitely a good enjoyment and night life for any age group is pretty enjoyable and always find new people that are very kind as well. Trains are also very safe for any solo travelers. Would definitely recommend!

About me

hellooo <3 I was wondering: Are there people like me out there, who feel like we could all connect a little more in an easy way? I‘d like to have friends all around the world and didn’t know where to start until I looked for apps like these. I‘d love to connect with comrades especially - being anti-genoc*de and caring for human rights is non negotiable! 🙏❣️ Besides that I’d say I am easy going hehe. I love to read, I love music and dancing, I like writing, I am into holistic wealth, self reflecting and I’m a fresh freelance photographer. In nuremberg I also work in different cultural fields. I love food and checking out local food places. (Who doesn’t?!) I like to philosoph about life, simultaneously sometimes I just want to have fun and feel “light” and party in the “coolest bar in town”.. Which is not always easy in the world we live in, but I really want to make the best out of it💚 Looking forward to connect!!
