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.

Cologne, Solo travel

I'm currently doing an Erasmus there. There's a lot of places to visit. Great art galleries. The people there are especially very nice, I met a lot of people and now great friends. As a queer person you will be very welcomed

Hamburg, Solo travel

What a beautiful city to visit in summertime:) There are some many things to do here: visit Miniatur Wunderland (remember to booked the ticket in advance), the Elb river, Elbphilharmonie, Speicherstadt, the Bunker, Elbtunnel, two Bundesliga teams (St.Pauli and HSV), and so many more:) Small tips: you can take some of the ferries for free, instead of paying for the tourist ships, check online in advance! I recommend to stay more than four days here, including weekends since there are markets...

Berlin, Group travel

Berlin was really beautiful. I always heard that the city is lame or boring but I had so much fun there, I traveled with one friend and it was very safe!! People are so collaborative and help a lot. However, honestly, I felt minor racism, but it was all amazing!

Augsburg

Augsburg is a genuine nice city and the criminal rate is really really low. Sometimes bikes might get stolen, but this is the only thing what can happen. So I hope you enjoy the stay, it’s really lovely city and you don’t have to worry

Gries

A very small village, full of families, a lake, a good café and scenery! Everyone is friendly and willing to help each other out! There are bus routes every hour that go directly to the train into the city. Children even use it solo.

Mannheim

Mannheim is, overall, a safe city. I just wouldn't stay alone at night at the Central station or near the HBF (central station) like most cities in Germany, but in the daytime, I never had any problems

About me

I really like to travel and get to know new people. At the moment I am offering German workshops in polish schools. This is the reason for my travels this time. I would love to stay in Krakow from the 9th-12th of April. It’s the first time I use this app, so maybe that’s the reason why my profile is so empty :) I am new here 🌟 I would love to meet you
