Hamburg, Group travel
This year i traveled to hamburg with my whole class🙏 Def one of the beat experiences i‘ve had. it was so much fun and we saw a bunch if stuff (especially in the redlight district) Our original stay was weißenhäuser strand, which was an incredible cool „town“ idk if you can call it that. We drank too much one night and the security came knocking on our door (i was asleep) I would definitely do it again especially in a large group. Looking forward to visiting hamburg again (this year maybe...

This was my first trip to Munich, and although it was a short one, I really enjoyed it. We mostly explored the beautiful old town, wandered through the city center, and took in the atmosphere. My favorite spot was definitely the Eisbach. It was the perfect place to cool off in the hot weather, even though the water was incredibly cold! I didn’t get to see everything this time, but it definitely made me want to come back and explore more.

Black Forest, Group travel
With a fellow travel lady, I went backpacking through the Black Forest. We walked a total of 160kms from Forbach to the Feldberg. We spent the nights either in trekking camps, in campsites or on farms. The landscapes were beautiful, we came across many lakes such as Herrenwiesensee, Titisee and Mathisleweiher (my favourite!). Overall, we felt very safe and met lots of lovely, mostly elderly people encouraging us to finish this eight day hike. If you like spending time outdoors, I highly...

Perfect for people seeing something intense and special experience. Most attractive city in Germany absolutely but as a solo traveler, It would be better to take care yourself on nighttime especially.

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 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!!

Mittenwald, Solo travel
Mittenwald is a place out of dreams. At every bend in the road, you can see the Karwendel Mountains staring down at you, and I kept having this feeling of déjà vu, like I had seen this place somewhere before. Maybe it was in some childhood calendar or an old photograph where I was first mesmerized by the Alps. It felt like I was stepping into a memory I had carried for years without even realizing it. It was a very emotional trip. I ended up climbing Hoher Kranzberg, and as someone who isn’t...

Germany, Solo travel
Experienced a small village local life by staying with a friend, from February to April. Was told of the 'harshness/coldness' of German strangers, never encountered that, I was warmly welcomed and engaged with everywhere I went - both small towns and big cities. I will never look at my country‘s bread the same, we‘re doing something seriously wrong. Wish I could ship bulk laugen brotchen home. Scenery is stunning, sort of comforting landscape everywhere, and I didn’t even see Autumn. Love the...

Münster is overall a safe city. I avoid the Promenade at night when I am alone. At night you should also try to avoid the park behind the Train station (not the side where the busses leave). I frequently arrive at the train station at night and have to wait for the bus (because sadly there aren’t a lot of busses at night) and I feel relatively safe.

In my experience its very safe. You get a bit of the crazies sometimes nearby luisenplatz but if you stay out of their way they wont bother you. But yeah I have had a lot of late night walks here and mostly i have felt safe
Posted: August 27, 2026uberlingen
It is a very small cute little town with almost no crime. Even at night when I’m outside I feel very comfortable with the way the city feels. Some places without street lamps, like the cemetery are also safe to go. If something’s happening to you it will be an exception. But of course there are, like everywhere, some weird people who will make you feel a little bit uncomfortable

Berlin it is a very safe city! Although with some exceptions. For example Görlitzer Park is not entirely safe during night and there have been reports of crime against woman, so do not hangout there during night alone or with people you just met

Merseburg
It is mostly a safe city if you move along the more visited ways, but when you start going to deserted areas it can be pretty dangerous and somebody looking after you/catcalling you is inevitably. Especially in the night along the path around the Gotthards teich its common for high ir drunk people to be around —> be most careful around that area. the amount of times i got catcalled or felt like somebody is gonna beat me up is insane (even when i was a minor)

I don't really know about the safety, this town is a little bit multiculti and has some places there are a little bit lost. I never expirienced some unwell situations, but I think at night there are some places which I don't would go alone, because it's dark and lonely.

About me
I am an international student in Marburg,Germany. When I have time, I like to explore new sights, usually on weekends because weekdays I'm at Uni and then in library busy studying. I'm an ambivert so I tend to be really chatty at the right time with right companions. I like reading Sci-fi novels. My hobbies are drawing, claying, puzzling and most of the time reading. I love to take a stroll in new cities and lost myself occasionally. I am a curious person who has a big appetite about almost everything in our world. Like to meet new people and learn their perspective about different things.
