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!!

Diessen am Ammersee

Dießen is a cute little city in Bavaria with a beautiful lake and beautiful nature. People from all over the world come here just to enjoy some time at the lake. This place has a lot of culture and you can really feel the closeness to Italy (with the little Cafés, the people on their Vespa, music at the lake and the “dolce vita” lifestyle.) People feel so safe here that some entry doors are not even closed sometimes. The people here are also very kind and welcoming 🥰

Leipzig

Based on my experience, Leipzig is quite safe, but I got catcalled a few times and there are some shady people at night around Hbf, parks, city centre, Connewitzer Kreuz and on night buses. During the day it’s usually quite chill though.

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.

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 :)
