Especially during Oktoberfest, it was very fun, very warm and people are really friendly. For stay, I stayed in a&a hostel, that's very shitty, they charge you for towel, water etc. I won't recommend that. For Food, prefer going to bars with local

So beautiful City. Nice people. I didn’t saw that much but the nature and some buildings were so pretty. I was here for a concert and it was fantastic. It’s not that big but very charming. Hope to be here again soon.

I felt pretty safe in Berlin wandering around by myself, I was pretty tired the first day so I would definitely recommend taking it easy if you had an early morning. The people I got to meet were very friendly, there was a man who had approached me to ask for my number and when I told him I had a boyfriend he was very respectful and wished me a good day.

Munich, Family travel
Munich is a beautiful city and felt so good and warm (spiritually and physically) I stayed two nights in a hotel very close to the train station which made transportation so much easier from the airport and to other cities. City central is really pretty with parks. I definitely recommend having picnics with coffee and pastries or takeout food in close parks. I went to popular landmarks because it was my first time so there is a lot I had missed out on but I can recommend Allianz Stadium and BMW Museum. Both was amazing if you are into it And if you are not you can go to near mountains or lakes for hiking or swimming. I had only two days in Munich so I couldn't experience them this time. But I can't wait to go there and have lots of fun memories! ps. pls pls pretty pls recommend me places for food and coffee/tea and pastries or anything. I'll try to have as much as I can next time

i feel relatively safe at day time. People (men) don't really bother you most of the time. At night you don't want to walk around places like the train station. But sadly thats the case pretty much everywhere:/

Germany is a western country. In daytime, it is safe and you can walk comfortably. But, there are still streets that you should not walk through for your own safety. Especially in night times, you should choose public spaces where is light provided and policemen are walking around.

Having been around the city centre and walking across most places, I feel relatively safe and secure in Munich. People have been generally helpful and nice and I look forward to meeting like minded people and making friends

Growing up in Berlin, I’ve always felt that the city is pretty safe! You can move around freely, take the U-Bahn late, and most people just mind their own business. Still, I wouldn’t walk alone in the dark in every neighborhood. Some areas just feel a bit off at night, especially when the streets are empty. But overall, Berlin gives you a sense of independence, you learn to trust your instincts, stay aware, and still enjoy the freedom of the city.

Never had a bad experience there even late at night. Sometimes stupid drunk people but mostly young students, which are harmless. Catcalls sometimes happen, and I would not recommend parks while dark
