Berlin, Solo travel
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!

There are a relatively large number of drug addicts in Aachen. Usually, they’re only a danger to themselves, but things can get unpleasant when they ask for money, don’t get any, and start getting loud. Try to avoid the “Kaiserplatz” at night.

Braunschweig is a very safe city. By day in my opinion you will not feel uncomfortable at any place. At night some places can be a bit scarry like Bohlweg, Hauptbahnhof, Prinzenpark or Bruchstraße. But in total it's a cute citty with a lot of opportunities. 😊

In general I consider Cologne very save space. People are open and friendly and I personally got never robbed I'm Cologne. However at night I would avoid walking around the "Ringe" and places like ebertplatz, Kalk, Chorweiler or Mühlheim since there lots of drug addicts and aggressive party people.
