This little city was really charming. I really liked the market and the heart warming cakes. I’ve been welcomed freely by a woman thanks to “Couchsurfing” who was used to travel alone too. I was surprised by her big heart. We talked a lot that night, she gave me confidence with only few words. She prepared me food in advance and offered me a lunch for the next day (even if I was leaving this exact day). She even payed the drink… her kindness was melting my heart. I asked her why did she do all those things for me, and she answered “If only you could know what people gave to me, I have to return the favour.”

It does feel safe. And berlin is not as expensive as I thought, much and more is affordable here and the quality at which food gets sold is very much richer than the price. Overall experience has been excellent.

Generally Cologne was really safe, I liked it so much first time as Solo traveler, so I decided to go there second time with my family and show them around, it was beautiful too, and I was surprised to hear turkish people everywhere lol, more than german

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 feel very comfortable as a woman in the city; however, I wouldn't walk around alone at night, but I wouldn't do that in any city. Most people are very nice and respectful.

Super safe, you can walk around the City at night. Of course you should not go to the big Train stations very late but over all I never felt unsafe here. There is Police checking in areas considered as a bit more unsafe.

I lived in Mannheim before and here in Trier I feel very safe. I can go outside when it’s dark without a problem. I had one bad experience but instantly there where people to help me and they walked me home. One experience I can tell that can tell you everything is that I have sometime seizures (it’s fine) and I had one while I was walking in the city with my boyfriend and best friend. Instantly a group of girls comes to me to check if I’m safe. I think that summarize it.

Colditz is a really small town, it's like everybody knows each other and there are normal people, teenagers, sometimes some cringe people, but they don't do anything except embarrass themself. You're safe. I promise :D!
