Germany : Safety by City
Germany, located in the heart of Europe, draws around 35 million visitors a year for everything from coastlines to castles to cold brews.
Once a collection of independent states, it unified in 1871 under Prussia.
The 20th century saw two world wars, the Nazi regime and the Cold War, which split the country into East and West Germany.
Reunified in 1990, modern Germany is now a global leader in economics, innovation, and diplomacy.
From the Alps in the south to the windswept North Sea and Baltic coasts, Germany’s landscapes are as diverse as its history.
Road trips here are iconic.
From traveling the speed-less Autobahn to driving scenic routes like the Romantic Road or Fairy Tale Route, you’ll love the scenery as you travel from place to place.
Landscapes include sandy beaches, cliffside cities, wine country, and thick forests.
As much as Germany feels timeless today, there are a few safety concerns we need to go through before you say “auf wiedersehen” to your friends and family at home.
Warnings & Dangers in Germany
OVERALL RISK: MEDIUM
The good news is that Germany is relatively safe to visit, with low rates of violent crimes and tourist-targeted attacks. The bad news is that Germany is facing an ongoing risk of terrorism. Because of that, we'll put it at medium risk, but otherwise, the risk is low.
TRANSPORT & TAXIS RISK: LOW
Public transport is efficient and safe, but the bad news is that pickpockets love packed trains and bus stops. Stick to official taxis—fake ones linger near airports. Uber works here, but it mostly just sends a regular taxi, so don’t expect the same setup as in other countries. Rental cars are another option.
PICKPOCKETS RISK: MEDIUM
This is a medium risk. Pickpockets are everywhere in tourist zones and train stations. Keep your wallet in a secure spot; don’t hang your bag on the back of your chair, and you should be fine. Make extra efforts to protect your passport so that if your purse or wallet gets stolen, your ID is still hidden away.
NATURAL DISASTERS RISK: LOW
Germany doesn’t get earthquakes or hurricanes, which is great. The bad news? Flooding is a growing problem, especially in western and southern regions. Winter snow can also throw a wrench in travel plans, particularly in Bavaria. Check local weather updates, and you’ll avoid most surprises.
MUGGING RISK: LOW
This is a low risk. Muggings are rare, especially for those who use standard safety practices. Always use caution after dark and stick to well-lit areas.
TERRORISM RISK: MEDIUM
We have to make this a medium risk because the government of Germany has clearly communicated the potential. Plus, most government advisories include terrorism as the major (if not only) reason for elevated risks. Check the Federal Ministry of the Interior and Community before your trip to get the latest updates on terror concerns in Germany.
SCAMS RISK: LOW
Scams aren’t rampant, but tourists are sometimes targeted with fake petitions, ATM skimmers, or overcharging taxis. You can always find the latest scams on the government advisory websites.
WOMEN TRAVELERS RISK: LOW
This is a low risk beyond the terrorism concerns. Solo travelers, families, and female group getaways are popular in Germany. You'll still need all those standard safety tips, like not walking around at night alone, but that holds for any country.
TAP WATER RISK: LOW
Germany’s tap water is exceptionally clean and safe to drink—it’s often higher quality than bottled water. Now, as for local etiquette, Germans prefer to avoid tap water and only drink sparkling or mineral water. Don't expect tap water for free at restaurants.
Safest Places to Visit in Germany
The German National Tourist Board runs the website “germany.travel.”
I prefer sites that government tourism agencies run, as you’ll be able to find legit vendors and tour guides while also getting practical help.
To give a broad overview of places to visit, we’ll break down the country by regions.
Northern Germany
- Major cities: Hamburg, Bremen, Lübeck, Hanover
- Vibe: Coastal, maritime, and influenced by the North and Baltic Seas. The culture is a bit more reserved, and fish-based cuisine is popular.
Home to Germany’s most famous port city, Hamburg, Northern Germany offers the Elbphilharmonie, the historic Speicherstadt warehouse district, and the nightlife of St. Pauli’s Reeperbahn.
The Bremen Town Musicians statue and UNESCO-listed Bremen Rathaus are major draws.
For beaches, the North Sea’s Sylt and the Baltic Sea’s Rügen have white-sand shores and dramatic cliffs.
National parks like Wadden Sea National Park protect vast tidal flats filled with unique wildlife.
The region’s Viking history is preserved at Hedeby, an ancient settlement near the Danish border.
Eastern Germany
- Major cities: Berlin, Leipzig, Dresden
- Vibe: A mix of gritty post-communist history and rapid modernization. Saxony and Thuringia have stunning castles, while Berlin is its own world.
Berlin dominates with the Brandenburg Gate, Berlin Wall, and Museum Island, home to the Pergamon Museum and the Neues Museum’s bust of Nefertiti.
Dresden’s Zwinger Palace and Frauenkirche showcase Baroque grandeur, while Leipzig’s St. Thomas Church is famous for its Bach connection.
The Bastei Bridge in Saxon Switzerland National Park offers surreal sandstone rock formations.
Beaches along the Baltic, like those in Usedom, are popular in summer.
Castles include Sanssouci in Potsdam, Prussia’s answer to Versailles.
The region is also rich in Cold War history, with sites like Checkpoint Charlie and the Stasi Museum in Berlin.
Western Germany
- Major cities: Cologne, Düsseldorf, Frankfurt
- Vibe: A mix of industrial powerhouse and cultural hub. The Rhineland region is famous for its carnivals, wine, and medieval towns.
Cologne’s cathedral (Kölner Dom) is the region’s most visited landmark, while Düsseldorf’s Rhine promenade and Königsallee shopping street attract tourists.
The Lorelei Rock along the Rhine River Valley, a UNESCO World Heritage site, is surrounded by medieval castles like Burg Eltz and Marksburg.
Frankfurt’s Städel Museum holds a world-class art collection, and Bonn’s Beethoven House draws classical music lovers.
The Moselle Valley offers some of Germany’s best wine country scenery.
National parks are fewer here, but Eifel National Park has volcanic lakes and dense forests.
Southern Germany
- Major cities: Munich, Stuttgart, Nuremberg
- Vibe: Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg are home to Germany’s Alps, beer culture, and the famous Black Forest. Think Lederhosen, Oktoberfest, and fairy-tale castles.
Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg offer Germany’s most iconic attractions.
Neuschwanstein Castle, the inspiration for Disney’s castle, is a must-visit.
Munich’s Marienplatz, English Garden, and Oktoberfest grounds are world-famous.
Stuttgart’s Mercedes-Benz and Porsche Museums attract car lovers.
The Black Forest is filled with charming villages like Triberg and Baden-Baden.
National parks include Berchtesgaden, offering Alpine peaks and pristine lakes like Königssee.
Lake Constance provides beautiful beaches and sailing.
The Romantic Road links medieval towns like Rothenburg ob der Tauber, while Nuremberg’s Imperial Castle and WWII sites add layers of history to the region’s already impressive appeal.
Central Germany
- Major cities: Erfurt, Kassel, Göttingen
- Vibe: A mix of smaller historic towns and forests. The region is known for the Harz Mountains, half-timbered villages, and the Brothers Grimm fairy-tale routes.
This lesser-known region is packed with cultural and natural gems.
Weimar, the home of Goethe and Schiller, has UNESCO-listed sites tied to Germany’s literary and artistic past.
Kassel’s Bergpark Wilhelmshöhe is an extraordinary hillside park with waterfalls and a Hercules monument.
The Harz Mountains feature the picturesque town of Wernigerode and the eerie Brocken mountain, linked to German folklore.
Castles include Wartburg, where Martin Luther translated the Bible, and Sabrina Castle, an overlooked Renaissance gem.
Hainich National Park preserves ancient beech forests, while the Fairy Tale Route connects towns that inspired the Brothers Grimm’s famous stories.
Places to Avoid in Germany
Germany might be the first country I’ve researched that has a higher advisory level but doesn’t come with a specific list of dangerous cities or neighborhoods.
However, since the main concern is terrorism, you want to avoid places that terrorists might target.
That could include Christmas markets, expatriate gathering spots, large demonstrations, or tourist districts.
I did round up some key points about the best and worst times to visit particular regions in Germany, depending on what you’re looking for.
Munich’s Oktoberfest (mid-Sept to early Oct) is legendary but also crowded, expensive, and exhausting.
Hotels triple their prices, public transport is packed, and you’ll wait ages for a beer.
Head to Stuttgart or Franconia for smaller but just as fun beer festivals.
Berlin in winter is brutally cold, damp, and dark by 4 p.m.
The charm of its street life fades when you’re trudging through slush and icy wind tunnels.
Go for the Christmas markets or wait until a warmer season.
Neuschwanstein is stunning but a nightmare in July and August.
Expect long lines, overpriced food, and busloads of tourists blocking your perfect photo.
If you’re driving, avoid the Autobahn on German holiday weekends—especially Easter, Christmas, and summer break (July & August).
While it’s known for having no speed limit, there’s also no limit to how many traffic jams you’ll be forced to sit in.
Germany’s North Sea beaches (Sylt, Föhr, etc.) are gorgeous in summer, but in November, they’re just cold, windy, and miserable.
If you like the brutal, cold, choppy sea vibe, you’ll fit right in.
Safety Tips for Traveling to Germany
- Germany’s police (“Polizei”) are professional, well-trained, and approachable. In an emergency, dial 112 for medical or fire assistance and 110 for police. Officers generally speak English, especially in cities. If you are the victim of a crime, you should also report it to your country’s embassy.
- Germany uses NINA (the National Emergency Alert App) and KATWARN for real-time alerts on natural disasters, terrorist threats, and other dangers. Sirens are also used in major emergencies. Alerts are often in German, so set up push notifications in English if available.
- There aren’t specific vaccine requirements to enter Germany. However, the CDC recommends being up-to-date on MMR, tetanus, diphtheria, pertussis, and hepatitis A & B. Bring bug spray and clothing that can help reduce the risk of ticks or mosquitoes since they can carry diseases.
- Germany’s Autobahn is famous for its no-speed-limit zones, but many sections do have posted limits—especially near cities, construction zones, and accident-prone areas. The suggested speed is around 80 miles per hour. You can only pass on the left, and tailgating is illegal (and strongly enforced). Also, it’s unlawful to run out of gas or stop anywhere on the Autobahn.
- Most of Germany is at low to moderate elevation, but Bavaria and the Alps have high-altitude areas. If hiking in the Zugspitze or Berchtesgaden, be aware of altitude sickness symptoms if you’re not acclimated.
- Germany strictly bans the display, sale, or possession of Nazi symbols, propaganda, music, or paraphernalia—this includes anything glorifying the Third Reich. Even joking about Nazi salutes or slogans can land you in jail.
- Certain prescription medications (especially opioids, ADHD medications, and sedatives) require approval for entry. Check Germany’s customs website before traveling. You may need a Schengen Medical Certificate, signed by your doctor and translated into German. Medications in Germany are widely available through pharmacies but might have different names than the ones you’re used to in your home country.
- Germany values punctuality, efficiency, and quiet public behavior. Loud conversations on public transport are frowned upon. Crosswalks must be used, and jaywalking is often fined. Also, bicyclists have the right of way in bike lanes, which could impact vehicles turning if crossing over a bike lane.
- Visitors from the U.S., Canada, the UK, and many other countries can drive in Germany for up to six months with a valid driver’s license. However, an International Driving Permit (IDP) is recommended.
- Fishing in Germany requires a Fischereischein (fishing license), and most visitors will need a temporary permit, available at local tourist offices or fishing shops. Boating also requires a Sportbootführerschein for motorized vessels over 15 hp. Fines for fishing without a license are high.
So... How Safe Is Germany Really?
The biggest concern when visiting Germany is terrorism.
Most countries have agencies, like the U.S. State Department, that will rank tourist safety risk on a four-tiered scale.
For the United States, Germany is at Level 2: Exercise Increase Caution.
Canada and Australia also put Germany at Level 2: Exercise a High Degree of Caution.
The United Kingdom has a general terrorism warning on its website, but it goes a little further when it comes to Germany, listing examples of more recent attacks.
Here’s the verbatim from the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) website.
- In 2024, 3 people were killed and several injured following a knife attack in Solingen.
- In 2021, 5 people were stabbed and wounded on a train in Neumarkt, Bavaria.
- In 2020, one person was killed and another seriously injured in a knife attack in Dresden.
- In 2020, 8 people were killed and 5 injured in 2 mass shootings in shisha bars in Hanau.
- In 2019, 2 people were shot and killed after a failed attempt to enter a synagogue in the Eastern German city of Halle.
When you take the terrorism risk out of the safety equation, the risks are generally low.
Petty theft, pickpockets, and purse snatchings are most common.
It’s also worth noting that passport stealing is very common.
That’s bad enough that it leaves you without an ID on an international trip, but the thieves could also turn around and steal your identity, leading to a host of problems for years to come.
Canada’s advisory website is generally highly detailed, down to specific neighborhoods in cities to avoid.
For Germany, there isn’t such a list.
That seems reassuring based on how much research I’ve done on this topic.
Overall, common sense and situational awareness go a long way toward enjoying your trip to Germany.
Viel Glück! (Good Luck!)

Useful Information
Visas
If you're from the U.S., UK, Canada, or Australia, you get 90 days visa-free in Germany, but don’t overstay—Schengen rules are strict. If you plan to work or stay longer, sort out your visa in advance. Have proof of onward travel and a valid passport.
Currency
Germany uses the euro (€), and while card payments are common, cash is needed in some small businesses. ATMs (Geldautomaten) are easy to find, but avoid the ones in tourist areas—they charge ridiculous fees and can attract pickpockets. Carry some cash, especially for small purchases or local markets.
Weather
Germany’s weather keeps you on your toes. Summers are warm but not scorching, and winters can get bone-chilling—especially in Bavaria. Pack layers year-round because rain can show up uninvited. If you're visiting in December, the Christmas markets are magical but be ready for cold, damp air and early sunsets.
Airports
Germany’s major airports—Frankfurt (FRA), Munich (MUC), and Berlin (BER)—are efficient but massive, so allow time for security. FRA is the busiest in the country. It served nearly 62 million people in 2024.
Travel Insurance
Travel insurance covers medical mishaps, lost luggage, and those “oops” moments—like missing a train because you misread a 24-hour clock. It’s worth the peace of mind. Most governments recommend having medical evacuation insurance. For those planning more risky activities, like skiing or trekking, consider adventure insurance to cover what a basic policy won't.

GERMANNYYY
Nice country
There are two reasons you go to Germany. One is for the food and the other is for the alcohol. The place is pretty amazing. It is not ideal to go if this is your first trip outside your home country. You have to be wise to the area and make sure you don’t offend people because they are not shy to call you out on it!
Hi there
When is the best time to come visit to Germany
summer
id recommend you from May to August but in the middle of summer, you might encounter some heatwaves ranging from 30° to 40°
I'm going!
My father was born in Germany and moved to the US when he was 11 with his family. Needless to say, I too was born in the US but I have always wanted to go to Germany to get in touch with my roots. I am planning a trip now to go next year with my dad as a surprise gift for his 50th. Glad to see it is overall safe to visit still.
I was born here and I can say it’s pretty peaceful here and nothing really bad happened ofc sometimes there are people with drugs and stuff but it’s not as bad as shooting in every single part. I love Germany a lot even if it got boring for me because I’m loving here my whole life.
I’m planning to move but not out of it because it’s really safe and I don’t want to leave a safe country. I’ll mention a few cities you could visit because I liked them a lot.
Berlin, Hamburg, Frankfurt, Trier, Saarbrücken, Munich, Nuremberg and Cologne. They’re all amazing. Germany is actually pretty safe and I even think it’s safer than they showed it.
Only 2 times after the Nazis a shooting happened and it wasn’t even that bad. (Of course, it was bad, but it’s not that 3 or more people died.) If you have never been there, go, it’s gonna be a beautiful experience. There are many quiet cities which I prefer but it’s your choice.
Also, the food is great and if you go you should really visit a beer garden. The best time to go is in June or August. It’s not too hot and not too cold. I hope you enjoy your trip! Love, German Girl.
gez, you havent been groped yet ?
women are being raped and stabbed on a daily basis in Germany by your beloved refugee men that you have welcomed
goar net woahr
it so safe i live here for years
Stop racism
what a racist ! crimes have anything to do with race, On a daily Basis ???it looks like you dont live in germany or u are just uneducated racist. Compared to other countries germany is one of the safest one , I am saying that as a native german
so please get some knowledge before comenting
NIT SAFE
especially NOT SAFE FOR WOMEN
due to „refugees „
Germany is absolutely safe.
hana,
Your postings here are pure propaganda and definitely nonsense. There were isolated incidents of this kind years ago, but they are not an objective or fundamental problem or risk in Germany.
Stuttgart ist so
I live in Stuttgart and groping, rape and robbery are sadly very common. Frail people and especially women are not advised to walk alone in the city after dark. And never cross a park after dark alone! Train stations and trains can be dangerous at night as well.
Overall one of the safest places on the planet
What nonsense. I know Stuttgart and most major German cities very well and although Frankfurt Central can look kind of rough it really isn’t in comparison to most countries, including the US and Britain. Just Google German crime statistics and you’ll see this is nonsense. Most crime in Germany is non-violent crime. It’s very rare for someone to actually get hurt and any such incident immediately makes the news. That might be the reason people think such incidents are commonplace.
As in most places in the world, if you behave stupidly you might get into trouble but in Germany that would normally be limited to you being too drunk, offending another drunk and that drunk kicking you in the nuts.
The truth about Germany
Dear user who is reading this,
do not get frightened by these passive aggressive extremist propaganda supporting people as firstly, their “experiences” (who aren’t even proven either) are totally subjective and secondly these relatively rare incidents do NOT represent the German society and the thinking of people. Just the differentiating of our people’s ethnicities in the crime study is clearly showing that the motive is to purposely point out the crime statistics of certain racial groups. Race, nationality or religion isn’t a fundamental and good source to create a crime rate pattern as these criteria may give people a certain way of thinking about life and society but NOT extremist and criminal ideas. Plus, refugees, which are known as “Muslim refugees “ (which clearly is an ignorant generalisation) can have any religion and still be civilised and sane. As a matter of fact, isn’t it the yt chalk fragments that stole inventions of BLACK AND ARAB people and claimed as theirs and even were so obsessed with their agriculture, people and belief to colonise, do missionaries and exploit the poor colonised countries till this day for their valuable minerals, foods and fertile land, while saying in their millions worth palace that these people are savages and job stealers. We know exactly where this “huge flow” of migrants came from in the mid 2010’s. *cough* cough* carpet bombing and major theft. Argue with a wall about it.
People need to be clearer about their expectations. How is it logical to expect a group of people who grew up in different cultures (which doesn’t automatically mean bad!) and environments (torn apart mostly by yt chalk fragment coloniser armies) to automatically integrate in a new society without any societal aid. Do not mentally enslave innocent people who migrated thinking of getting a better life with the thought that Western countries would be civilised (😂) and do not categorise them with people who refuse to work and want to live from the state (which actually quite a lot of Germans do, *cough* east and north Germany) because for your information, no academic, diplomat, or doctor freely leaves their home on a dangerous route just to be categorised in different classes without getting ANY (!!GENUINE!!) help from the government nor the society and wait ages for work permit just to get told you’re refusing to work.
Guys, you all are a perfect example of the perfect circus I’d say is the most hilarious.
Germany isn’t a country filled with rich milk fountains and marble parlours where everyone is a noble. Wake up and don’t be pretentious.
I’d rather worry about myself and the country’s future if I’d be like that because over the years, if this doesn’t stop, people will eventually leave Germany (EVEN GERMANSSSS😂) which others are already doing, and y’all won’t have high GDPs to flex with.
Schönen Tag noch euch allen meine Zuckermäuse❤️
You should add Bremen, Heidelberg, Leipzig and Augsburg on your list of the cities.
To provide perspective for non-Germans: the user with the handle “hana” is part of a far-right, xenophobic minority, based mainly in former East Germany. They object to Germany’s generous policy of hosting refugees, and they even go as far as denying the Holocaust (denial is a crime in Germany) and other well-documented German-led atrocities during the Third Reich.
Sadly, my advice would have to be this: if you are a person of colour, if you somehow look like a refugee, stay clear of former East Germany. You’d run the risk of being physically attacked by gangs of neo-nazi thugs.
Former West Germany incl. West Berlin is safe.
Another heads-up: we are not really the most warm, welcoming, chatty people; conversation is often to the point; friendly chit-chat exists, but people are less talkative than in other parts of Western Europe. Don’t worry, that’s perfectly normal.
Thanks
Bullshit..the east is also safe if you don’t go far out to the countryside.
I was stationed in Goeppengen in 1972 and thought Bavaria was the most fantastic and beautiful area I had lived in. Nothing has has changed. I was also in Berlin in the 70sand found it to be interesting and educational. While in Bavaria, the Bader Mi Haif gang went to Muchen, the Olymphics, and had a field day killing. Sorry for the spelling and not referencing.
...not Bavaria
Göppingen is not in Bavaria but Baden-Württemberg, but nice that you liked it 🙂
Cooke Barracks, where you were stationed, changed into a nice place with new companies, gym and golf course, but the structures are still recognizable. The casino was a club for many years, the hangar is a event center and a lot of buildings are inhabited, even the chapel is used for clubbing 🙂
It is still safe 😉
stay away
Its down right dangerous for Women here since so many immigrants called “refugees” moved to this Country.
Also the country is on its best way into an dictatorship since the whole corona topic came up. German citizens cant even travel from federal state to another ferderal state anymore.
Dear Nisa,
this is plain b***s*** and I think you know.
Everybody else: Common sense is always good, other than that you do not need to follow any special security rules (none other than in any other western countries).
Ever since so many refugees arrived here, the statistics for criminal acts went DOWN.
stop trying to change words around. There are so many unwanted terrorists. Fick dich
Nisa- Why I think your racist!
The world is a dangerous place , I’ve lived in Germany and many other parts of the world Germany even through tough time Berlin Wall coming down was by far the safest. Be smart wherever you travel good bad everywhere.
Great country
One of my favourite countries I do like the German culture and modernity but also historical buildings from over a century ago the food and beer seems nice and the public transport is amazing even better than in my own country can’t wait to visit after corona!
German mentality changed for the worse
I lived in Germany for 6 months.
The countrysides of Germany are magnificent and extremely safe (especially Bavaria and Shwartzwald). However, you do need to take good care of yourself and your belongings in Frankfurt. On my first day in Frankfurt, I got approached by a group of 6-8 young gentlemen. They asked me random questions and after that, they started harassing me. Finally, they forced me to hand them my bag with all my belongings in it. Two bouncers from some sort of hookah bar/club saw everything. However, they decided to just laugh at me and they even seemed to be friends with these young men. All this happened in the center of Frankfurt right behind the train station, 800ft from my hotel. I have been to Frankfurt about 25 years ago and I have to say that it has changed a lot since then (not for the better). I remembered the Germans as very orderly, humble, and agreeable people who don’t like violence. The mentality of the German people in the urban areas has changed dramatically. Frankfurt is now a filthy city with shady areas and dogy people. How could the Germans change so quickly?
The country to visit if you’re a foodie
Rather safe country with a diverse population which makes for a very diverse environment. I always opt for city breaks here because of the food, if we’re being honest, and for the many cultural activities. I’m from Bulgaria which translates to a short flight so I don’t waste a whole afternoon getting there.
85 is a very high rating
85 is a very high rating and the information about rapes being low is quite misleading, rapes in Germany are actually very high just very under reported. Most new years eve celebrations result in thousands of street rapes so be very aware if you are planning to visit during the Christmas period. Also i suggest staying out of crowded places and not walking past gangs.
Germany is not safe anymore.
