Most crimes in Strasbourg are non-violent and consist mainly of petty theft, like pickpocketing and bike theft. I often go walking around Neustadt on Sunday evenings.
When it comes to public transport, Strasbourg has a comprehensive and reliable network of trams and buses that service the whole city. I personally prefer walking or using the tram. One of the most popular things to do in Strasbourg is rent a bike and cycle to Colmar on the Alsace Wine Route. Unfortunately, bike theft is as common as pickpockets, so be extra careful if you decide to rent one. Make sure your bike has a good-quality lock and that your hotel has a garage where you can keep it.
They have their own lanes, but they often ride wherever they want. Always listen for bike bells or warning calls from fellow pedestrians to avoid collisions. I was hit by a cyclist who was on his phone and swerved into the pedestrian lane, so be extra cautious.
Luckily, I was paying attention, and my injuries were minor, but it could have been much worse. I always keep a copy in the cloud and hidden in my suitcase. I only travel with the cash I need for the day. The rest I keep in my suitcase. I always wear my backpack in front of me or put it under my arm. As with any city, certain areas in Strasbourg are more dangerous than others at night.
If you do need to travel at night to any of these neighborhoods, take a taxi or use public transport. And try to stay in well-lit and busy areas as much as possible. Helpful Tip : I see other articles that include Neudorf in this category, but I disagree. I lived in Neudorf, went out all the time at night, and never had any problems.
