Dresden is very safe in general. You can also walk around the city center and most other parts late at night without having any worries. Simply enjoy the city.
In some regions of Saxony, right-wing political parties are strong. Avoid outskirt districts of Dresden like Gorbitz, Prohlis or Reick especially if you have dark skin. In the vicinity of the city, southeastern regions from the near city of Pirna throughout the popular area of Saxon Switzerland have had also high rates of affirmation towards right-wing parties. Away from the touristic centers of this region, chances of racist encounters are higher. So it is better to stay with groups and not to stroll around at night.
