Is Germany Safe for Solo Female Travelers?

Germany is generally a very safe destination for solo female travelers. The crime rate is low and local citizens are typically courteous and helpful. Public transportation, including trains and busses, is widely available and secure. Nevertheless, previously would be wise to respect general safety guidelines as in any other place, such as avoiding isolated areas late at night and being aware of your belongings. German people usually speak English, which makes communication easier. Remember, always trust your instincts.

I went to Bonn to visit a friend of mine and it was an amazing experience. The river was so nearby and with the train Cologne was only an hour. I also liked Koblenz and I recommend to everyone. Just go and explore

Berlin, Group travel

Berlin was fun. We didn’t get in to Berghain (lol) but we did our own tour of the city and the vibes were great. Public transportation is very easy and convenient. Very diverse food options. Great rave venues - I would love to go back and let loose again!

I visited Berlin at the beginning of April and it was so so nice! It is very easy to meet new people, the international setting allows you to meet people from all around the world. I really enjoyed going to a rave and I’m sure I’ll be coming back for more!!

I feel safe in any area I go to. Even during the night, everything’s really calm. Also, there is public transport all through the night and usually, if you ask your driver, they will let you get out at the closest option for your way home.

Tubingen

I wouldn’t worry about safety too much! Just be a bit more careful during the night on weekends around clubs maybe. But I’d say with common sense you’re good to go. As in probably every city the area around the main station isn’t too nice.

Osnabruck

Most parts of Osnabrück are safe. Especially Wüste, Katharinviertel and Westerberg. But as in any other bigger city watch your valuables if you are in the city center and don’t walk alone in the dark in Schlossgarten.

Cologne

Id say Cologne is safe overall. But it has its spots like every other cities does too, that I would try to avoid alone at night. Spots where I wouldn’t want to walk alone at night as a woman would be: -Ebertplatz!!! -Wiener Platz (Mülheim in General) -Kalk -Zülpicher Platz -around the Cathedral is a pickpocket hotspot due to the many tourist

About me

My name is Anna and I'm 19. I just finished school and am now traveling for a bit before starting the next big chapter of my life. I already spent nine months in Ireland during my time in school and I fell in love with the country and its people. I'm vegan and I really love animals, so I do whatever I can to protect them. I have a dog (Paula) and love to play and cuddle with her. I also keep lots of plants in my house :)
