Very nice small town, got there from Memmingen on Sunday and let's say public transportation doesn't work well on weekends in Germany. But when I finally got there it was very walkable. Even to the castle you could walk in like 1h.

I visited this city with some friends as we had some friends studying there. We were able to cross to Alsace in France and enjoyed the fairytale villages, and also took a bus till Zürich to spend a day there while our friends were at Uni.

I had a wonderful time in Munich despite it being winter. The botanical gardens and Ferris wheel were my favorite things to do there. Public transit was great as well. I recommend getting the city pass if you are spending a few days.

🇩🇪 Germany — my home base so far 🤍 Germany has been my home base for the past seven months, since I moved here from South Africa to spend my gap year as an au pair. I haven’t had the chance to explore nearly as much of the country as I’d like because most of my time is spent working, so this is definitely more of a “my life in Germany so far” post than a Germany travel guide! 😂 I’m currently based near Mainz, and most of my exploring has been around Mainz, Frankfurt, Heidelberg and the...

HIDDEN GEM. Not touristy and so beautifull (the houses omg), the experience was more intense bcs of that. I was there when Zunftmarkt was, so nice and magical people were so friendly. Best random decision ever <3

My mom and I went to Berlin for a few days, stayed in a cheap hostel and rode the underground train into the city everyday. This was a great opportunity to save some money. In Berlin we walked around seeing all the sights. We had a great time together!

I absolutely loved this gorgeous city! Public transport worked perfectly, it was super clean and it was easy to move around. The only thing I didn't like about Munich was the amount of harassment I experienced from men. I was even followed once. It’s a beautiful city and totally worth it, but be careful (as you would anywhere) if you go on your own!

Is Germany safe for women?
Heidelberg
In general Heidelberg is very safe, day and night. It’s a good mix of locals and tourists, students and older generations. So it’s busy throughout the day in Altstadt and around Bismarckplatz. You can walk to the train station or take the bike/public transport. Some may find the Kurfürstenanlage/ the parks close to the train station less nice to walk through at night, you can stay on the sidewalks along the streets.

Overall very save, wouldn’t recommend walking alone at night if you’re not in the city centre. With the exception of Friday and Saturday, there’s usually not a lot of people out on the streets andywhere in the city, so it’s pretty quiet. No need to constantly watch out for yourself, especially not during the day, it really is save!!

It is a safe place for all people. LGBTQIA+ welcome and can safely feel at home cause there is a lot of us ;) I (female, in my 20s) always felt safe. Typical Northern Germans are reserved at first but open up quickly and are supportive whenever help is needed.

I like Berlin because it is alive at all times. You will always find someplace open. Also most people are really nice and the majority can speak english. But you have to be careful. There are also a lot of unsafe people outside. Just be aware of this.

Depending on which district you are in and alone or not, berlin can be a bit scary - i wouldnt recommend going alone to places like Hermannplatz or Görlitzer Park in the evening and night. Also avoid taking the U8 late at night.

Bad Doberan is an old town with families and elder people so during the day you feel completly safe. While night there arn't any people outside so it may feel a bit scarry. But normaly theire is no reason to feel unsafe.

About me
Hi everyone! 🌸 I'm Ecem, a Turkish girl currently living in Germany, where I'm pursuing my Master's degree in Law. I'm a lawyer by profession, but there's so much more to me than law books! I love traveling, discovering new cultures, learning languages, having meaningful conversations, and finding beauty in the little things. I'm naturally curious, open-minded, and always excited to meet people from different backgrounds. I love spontaneous adventures, exploring cute cafés, wandering around new cities, and making memories along the way. Having moved abroad myself, I know how special it feels to find genuine connections in unfamiliar places. I'd love to meet wonderful women from around the world, exchange stories, explore places together, and hopefully build friendships that last beyond a single trip. Whether it's a coffee, a little city adventure, or a heart-to-heart conversation, I'd be happy to connect! 💌🌍 Let's make the world feel a little smaller and friendlier, one friendship at a time! 💕
