How safe is Nuremberg for solo female travelers?

I visited Nuremberg just for a day since I live nearby, and it was a great experience. I felt completely safe the whole time. I recommend checking out Kaiserburg Castle and strolling through the old town — it’s really charming. I had lunch at “Bratwurst Röslein” — tasty and not expensive. I didn’t stay overnight, so I can’t say anything about accommodation. I spent around 20 euros for the day. Getting around was super easy on foot and by tram

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 feel safe here but I’m not sure all areas are. But here is a little bit student city and feel relax. I couldn’t experience with a family and night out situations. Cause I love my home so much. Nurnberg have some big city problems like cleaning or drunk people. But not a big issue (as my experience).

During the night I'd be staying in places where there are more people so you're fine. I personally would tend to stay away from the south part of the city at night. Otherwise especially during the day it's totally fine!

There are some places, that aren’t totally safe at night, especially for women. But overall i feel like nürnberg is pretty safe. The only unpleasant experiences were in school or a low rated club, so watch out for those!

You should be mainly worried the the "Südstadt". South of the train Station. The other Part is very safe. But even in the south, I hardly heard from friends who are feeling unsafe! So all in all, Nürnberg is better than other big cities

It's like any other city in Germany I think. You have to be careful, idiots (men) are everywhere but most of the time you are safe. There are a few places that are a little bit sketchy especially at night; the train station, "Aufseßplatz" or "Maffaiplatz" for example. But besides that it's okay.
