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.

Germany, Solo travel

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!!

Because it is more of a village than a big city, it is very safe. Of course there are sometimes teenagers who are having a drink and being extra confident but NOT AT ALL are there any dangerous parts !

Lubeck

In the city center I always feel safe to walk home at night but I try to stay in well lighted areas and main roads. I avoid the central station as good as I can during nights but never had a bad experience there. Police is also quite visible, so all over I feel safe in Lübeck.

About me

hi beautiful girls 🌹 I am Betül, I was raised in Germany in a Turkish family and I would say I'm definitely defining my identity as "migrant" somehow, I am an easy going 28 year old queer women, I am an extrovert and I really like to travel and enjoy a lot meeting locals 🌹 I am spontaneous and flexible and time doesn't feel real to me, especially when I am traveling. I like to eat a lot, especially street food I like to talk about politics a lot, also history and philosophy and poetry I like nature & hikes, but also culture and big city life I like dancing & partying (but not necessarily drink alcohol, I like to smoke 🍀 tho) I don't like fake people/fake kindness I don't like bad smells I don't like "apolitical" people I don't like fancy & money spending plans + I wanna learn Arabic!!! I send much love all around you ❤️ ps: if you don't support palestine we will not be friends 🙃

But I also like just to chill and play video games with my husband Pierre.
