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...

Berlin, Group travel

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!

Dresden

I lived in Dresden for a long time and I would say it's pretty safe. Of course you should always be careful because things can always happen. But till now there was never anything happening to me. Maybe at night it's better to be a little more careful. And sometimes when I'm somewhere in Dresden at night I feel slightly unsafe in some areas.

Nuremberg

It is quiet safe, but after nine/ten o'clock at night the mood shifts and has an uncomfortable vibe, especially around Plärrer. I would recommend to not be around the Hauptbahnhof either at these times.

Öhringen

It's very safe. It's mostly populated by lots of elderly people or families. Most people mind their own business and there's lots to do. The night is how it is in every city. Of course, you'll find weird people everywhere, but it's not unusually many.

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.
