Women travellers in Munich

Munich is one of the safest big cities in Europe and harassment against women is rare.
Just use your common sense and take a bit of care if you find yourself alone after dark on the subway or in an isolated area. Take particular care during Oktoberfest time.

The Frauennotruf München is a counselling service for women who have been sexually assaulted (Details: Phone 089 76 37 37
Website frauennotrufmuenchen.de ).
Of course if you have been assaulted you should first contact the police on the emergency number 110.

Women only accommodation

Munich has a couple of women-only places to stay. One is the Frauenpension Muenchen south of city centre in Untergiesing-Harlaching (try pronouncing that one!). It has single rooms for €99 and doubles for €111.

Also women-only is the Jugendhotel “In Via” Marienherberge near the Hauptbahnhof (Main Train Station). It’s a cheaper option, expect to pay about €25 for a spot in a four-bed dorm, €30 for a single room and €55 for a double.

It’s only open to women travellers in Munich under 28 and there’s a lockout from midnight to 6am. (Details: Address Goethe Strasse 9, Munich, Phone 089 55 58 05 Email invia-marienherberge@arcor.de online bookings not possible).
