I recommend this place to cool down while you’re backpacking. Thats what my friend and i did. Its not that busy, but also not boring. I dont know how it is in the winter, but the summer is BEAUTIFUL!!

I felt safe during my time and I currently live and study here, but I wouldn’t recommend Berlin to anyone who isn’t really big on clubbing and partying because otherwise it’s a boring city and the weather doesn’t help

This little city was really charming. I really liked the market and the heart warming cakes. I’ve been welcomed freely by a woman thanks to “Couchsurfing” who was used to travel alone too. I was surprised by her big heart. We talked a lot that night, she gave me confidence with only few words. She prepared me food in advance and offered me a lunch for the next day (even if I was leaving this exact day). She even payed the drink… her kindness was melting my heart. I asked her why did she do all those things for me, and she answered “If only you could know what people gave to me, I have to return the favour.”

It does feel safe. And berlin is not as expensive as I thought, much and more is affordable here and the quality at which food gets sold is very much richer than the price. Overall experience has been excellent.

Generally Cologne was really safe, I liked it so much first time as Solo traveler, so I decided to go there second time with my family and show them around, it was beautiful too, and I was surprised to hear turkish people everywhere lol, more than german

Düsseldorf is a really safe place. Some places around the main station are a bit sketchy at night - but I guess every main station has an area like that. But it's not that bad and it doesn't have a criminal background

Don’t get it mixed up with Rosenheim in Bavaria, my Rosenheim is a small village between Siegen and Cologne and its perfectly safe, nothing ever happend here and we only have around 800 people living here, so if you’re looking for a very quite natural place you’re probably right here!

It’s a very calm and small city. It has a good hiking trail and a historical marketplace. But all in all not much to see and nothing to worry about. As a solo travel female there’s nothing to worry about even in the night!

Overall it is quite safe - but be careful in the Old Town and don’t stay near the Hauptbahnhof! Don’t go in the parks alone at night. If you want to go partying, take a friend with you. Thr Old Town has many clubs but rather go to the Irish Pubs. They are much safer and cozier.

You don't really have to worry if you find yourself late outside but I don't wish you tho. There are a lot of foreigners so don't worry if you can't speak german. You will find the city's really lovely.

About me
hey fellow travel girls :) I am always happy to help, open minded (feminist, bi/queer, slightly spiritual), creative (studying architecture), curious, bold (Aries 🤷🏽♀️) and according to my therapist, I’m hyper-sensitive (overthinking, oversharing, overfeeling, … all the overs?) let‘s say I am a little bit of everything - always somewhere between caring too little and too much 🙃 (as we all are, I guess) I was born and raised in Leipzig and still live here - so if you need any insider tips, I‘m your girl :) I’m not into clubbing that much since I get overstimulated easily so I probably won’t have any good recs for that (I could ask my friends for that though). but I’m always down for a drink at a bar, an ice cream in the park or a picnic at the lake. after going around the world solo once and traveling to about 30 countries I‘d say I‘m able to help with any of that as well :) I am the happiest with salty hair, a tan, the sound of the ocean nearby, a mask and fins or a good book and of course with friendly, loving and inspiring people or sweet animals around 🤙🏼 instagram: @lena_noack
