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.

Berlin, Solo travel

I spent three days in Berlin and, through this app, I even met a wonderful person who showed me around. We also visited Spreewald, an hour from Berlin, which made the trip even more special. Overall, it was an unforgettable experience: Berlin is vibrant, full of life, and especially in summer. I can truly recommend Highswing to anyone visiting Berlin and go to Spreewald if u like nature — it made the whole experience even more special. ✨

Cologne, Solo travel

I've been there many times, yet everytime I was there and id look at the Dome, it was breathtaking! It's clean, modestly safe, and during Christmas period it fills with cute markets! Id advice you to go there during those colder times.

Berlin, Solo travel

It was my second time in the city already. I think is such a good place to solo travelers. People don't care about what you're doing at all. But is a place where you don't need to feel unsafe. Live is just individualist and you can take your time everywhere. The sensation is incredible if you want to plan a chill trip.

Bremen

In Germany, Bremen is not considered as a safe city. But living here right now, i would say that it's really okay !! Nothing will happen to you, even though they are some weird people... especially around the train station.

Cologne

Cologne is a safe city, in general. The city center has some drug addicts and homeless people, but I never had any issues with them. So no need to avoid certain areas. Just around Ebertplatz, there is some drug dealing, I heard bad stories, but I had no bad experiences there.

Berlin

It’s pretty safe, but there’s a lot of pickpocketing in touristy areas and at night there are some questionable people around in some parts of Berlin. So at night being outside alone isn’t always the best idea bit overall you shouldn’t worry if you take the normal safety measures.
