Germany is one of the safest and most peaceful countries in the world. Within Europe, it's the fifth most visited country. The crime rate is low, and law enforcement is reliable and well connected internationally. In 2024, Germany ranked 20th out of 163 in the UNESCO Global Peace Index.
Still, it’s a good idea to take usual precautions during your visit: avoid dark and isolated areas, don’t carry large amounts of cash, and keep your phone with you at all times.
