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!

Pretty safe city in my opinion, but some shady people can hang out in crowds at night, especially around the train station/Münsterplatz. The Neustadt Is pretty safe. Overall I haven't felt that much insecurity because a lot of people goes out at night, so you're okay if you stay with the crowd

It not unsafe perhaps rarely suspicious activities are found. I have lived here for an year and there were no such strange activities near my area. But we cannot deny the possibilities. Otherwise its safe

Its is very safe, even at night. Girls can walk on their own without having to fear something bad might happen. No man will talk to you when you are out alone. Of course it could happen at some point but I have never heard if something like this

In general it is not more unsafe than other cities Be aware of your surroundings at night and the U8 can get messy. Places like Neukölln and Friedrichshain can feel sketchy but I walk around alone there too.
