How do you get home at night?
Check the Munich night transport routes before you go out. If you’re on your own and feel uncomfortable, the MVG safety guide suggests sitting near the driver on buses and trams or waiting near the emergency call point on U-Bahn platforms. Ask staff or a specific person nearby for help. The U-Bahn has emergency intercoms near the doors and red call points on station platforms.
What if your bag or phone goes missing?
If you left it on public transport, the Munich lost property guide directs you to the appropriate operator. If you believe it was stolen, report the theft to the police. For an incident in progress or immediate danger, call 110. See our Munich emergency numbers for the difference between police, ambulance and out-of-hours care.
Where can you get help at Oktoberfest?
The city’s Oktoberfest FAQ covers the police and first aid presence on the grounds, where to take lost items and what to do if a situation feels unsafe. The official festival safety information lists the police station at the festival service centre. Follow the event’s current guidance before visiting, since arrangements can change.
What is it like for us?
Never do we think or feel that our wonderful city is anything but safe.
That’s our personal feeling about Munich. Plan around your own journey, time and comfort rather than a city safety score. Our Munich transport guide and Munich maps help you work out a route before you leave.
