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.

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!!

Just don’t look at men weird and you’ll be fine. I had bad experiences with men in Public, whether it be in the trains or outside in the city. And i’m basically a native, being born in germany and stuff. Depends where you at tho. If you’re in big cities obviously you gotta be cautions.

Hamburg

Overall it’s pretty safe. Just be cautious in a healthy way. :) Daytime is pretty safe. Night time being caution when using public transportation. Some people might be drunk and not aware of their behavior. And if you are a tourist and go back home late at night it’s better to call a MOIA or taxi.

Berlin

I've been living in Berlin for two years, and I haven't even heard of a crime, let alone witnessed one. So, based on my personal experience, this city feels very safe, and you can live here without fear.

Neu-Isenburg

Neu-Isenburg had isolated bomb attacks on ‚Frankfurter Straße‘, it is not yet known why. Otherwise, some homeless people run from the ‚city border‘ to ‚Dreieich‘. I have been living here for 19 years now and nothing has ever happened to me.
