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.

Hamburg, Solo travel

What a beautiful city to visit in summertime:) There are some many things to do here: visit Miniatur Wunderland (remember to booked the ticket in advance), the Elb river, Elbphilharmonie, Speicherstadt, the Bunker, Elbtunnel, two Bundesliga teams (St.Pauli and HSV), and so many more:) Small tips: you can take some of the ferries for free, instead of paying for the tourist ships, check online in advance! I recommend to stay more than four days here, including weekends since there are markets only open at weekends. Lots of cute cafes and shops here. It feels like a young lively city but also...

Berlin was really beautiful. I always heard that the city is lame or boring but I had so much fun there, I traveled with one friend and it was very safe!! People are so collaborative and help a lot. However, honestly, I felt minor racism, but it was all amazing!

Munich

Overall I feel like munich is a pretty safe city if we’re talking about big cities. I don’t worry about walking alone most of the time, only ever if it’s night and near a big train station. The city center is actually pretty safe as well as most districts. Around Laim and Hasenbergl I‘d be a bit cautious.

Berlin

In my opinion pretty safe, but watch out for extremely drunk people or drug consumers. I haven’t had any problems walking alone during the night time. But to be safe I wouldn’t recommend going through parks alone at night

About me

I’m currently living in Trier (close to the border with Luxembourg, Belgium and France) with my husband Pierre and our cat Mirabelle. 🐈‍⬛ The next big cities are Saarbrücken and Cologne. I’m German, French and Peruvian. I studied to become a German teacher but I don’t do that at the moment. 😅 I’m a very open, curious, social and warm person. My life goal: learn as many languages and see as many countries as possible. 😊 I love singing, dancing, playing volleyball, cooking, board games, traveling and hanging out with friends. But I also like just to chill and play video games with my husband Pierre.
