How safe is Wurzburg?

Safety at night:Safe

However, as in any urban area, it is important to stay aware of your surroundings, especially during the night. Well-lit and well-trafficked areas like downtown and the area around the train station are generally safe, but avoid quiet and poorly lit areas if you are alone late at night. While the city is largely secure, use your judgement as situations can vary.

Public transportation:Safe

Public transportation systems in Wurzburg, including buses, trams, and trains, are generally safe and reliable. They're often used by locals and tourists alike. The vehicles are well-maintained and drivers conduct themselves professionally. Late at night, the number of passengers drops, but security is still maintained. Always exercise basic caution, especially when traveling alone at night, but overall, public transport in Wurzburg is trustworthy.

Street harassment:Low

Wurzburg generally has a low instance rate of street harassment. This city is known for its respectful and considerate society. As every place, there can be exceptions, but its society is largely observant of personal space, making it a relatively comfortable environment for solo female travelers. High police visibility and awareness campaigns contribute to the safety and security in the area. Take the normal precautions you would take in any other city, such as avoiding secluded areas late at night, and your trip should go smoothly.

Petty crimes:Low

Petty crimes such as pickpocketing and minor theft may still occur, especially in areas with high tourist traffic. However, Wurzburg generally has low crime rates, and as a solo female traveler, taking basic precautions should suffice to ensure a safe journey.

It’s a nice small student city. Where always you have a lot of young people waking on the streets. Mostly people here are Germans. In my experience leaving here, I didn’t have a big problems, only some few comments from the strangers. So I do think it’s a really good city to stay in. But of course be aware of streets near clubs and train station

Incredibly safe, it's a small student city in Bavaria, nothing to worry about! Nothing has ever happened to me in 3 years living there. There is even a school where they make new cops. So stoners, beware!! It's so safe that there are a lot of cops anywhere so be a bit careful where u smoke lol
