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.

Germany, Solo travel

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!!

Cologne

Id say Cologne is safe overall. But it has its spots like every other cities does too, that I would try to avoid alone at night. Spots where I wouldn’t want to walk alone at night as a woman would be: -Ebertplatz!!! -Wiener Platz (Mülheim in General) -Kalk -Zülpicher Platz -around the Cathedral is a pickpocket hotspot due to the many tourist

Munich

Munich is generally very safe city both of families with small kids and women. It's always good to be careful at night, especially in the area next to central train station. English Garten is cool place to visit best during the day

Lorrach

Lörrach is generally quite safe. Crime seems to be rising every year, but nothing that stands out compared to other cities. As always, some caution is sensible at night, but overall it doesn't feel particularly unsafe to me. Bé careful around parks and Hbf/Busbahnhof

Rosenheim

Rosenheim is very generally safe, still I'd recommend common safety rules (i.e. not walking through a park alone at night etc.) Be aware that during "Herbstfest" (kind of like a small Oktoberfest) there can be a lot of (drunk) people around the festival area.

My name is Anna and I'm 19. I just finished school and am now traveling for a bit before starting the next big chapter of my life. I already spent nine months in Ireland during my time in school and I fell in love with the country and its people. I'm vegan and I really love animals, so I do whatever I can to protect them. I have a dog (Paula) and love to play and cuddle with her. I also keep lots of plants in my house :)
