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.

Bremen 2025: great beer and coffee, friendly climbing gym, beautiful architecture and perfect routes for running. Warm days, relaxed pace, cosy cafés and an easy city to enjoy actively outside Summer.

I loved it for the part I visited! It's a very big city and there is a lot of things to do, there's a lot of different cultures. The port is so nice as well as the old town ! There is a big outdoor ice skating ring it was amazing. Food was good and there's so many restaurants!

Mainz

Mainz is actually quite safe or at least not more dangerous than any other average city. Just don’t talk to anyone who lingers at the main train station or in general if you’re alone at night, but there are some kebab shops that are open until quite late at night, so there’s always some people around

Munich

It is everything ok at daytime. And nothing happened for me at nighttime too, so it seems safe. But I still dont want to be alone at night. Its still a big city so I recommend to avoid dark places and keep an eye on your stuff.

Mainz

Very safe and calm city. Normal matters of safety are enough. Of course the usual things like cat calling at night or drunk men overstepping and being aggressive can happen when clubbing. But I feel safe most of the time.
