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.

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!

Erlangen

One of the safest cities of Germany with the second losest Crime rate! Everyone is super nice, during the day you never have to feel anxious about public safety! Very calm city during the night. In the city centre is alway police around when there are parties.

Frankfurt

Frankfurt ranks high in the criminal statistics, but this is mainly for migration “crimes” taking place in Germany’s biggest airport. Around the central station you might feel unsafe due to a lot of drug problems in this area.

Hanover

Hannover feels normally safe like in other big cities in germany. If you'd like to feel extra safe, avoid the main station and Steintor in thr nights. The people are nice and open and I feel really safe.

About me

So, what’s there to know about me? I’m an architect, queer, vegetarian, feminist, neurospicy (AuDHD) and am very clumsy. I don’t take myself too seriously, am a bit of a goofball and enjoy to joke around with friends. I love being on the go without having much of a plan, just see where it takes me. I’ve traveled by myself or with friends quite a bit already but there’s still many places I want to go. When traveling, the most important part for me is to get to know the culture and people of the country and really be able to appreciate its beauty through also seeing/experiencing the challenges. No glorification, just the day to day live of ordinary people and their stories.
