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.

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!!

Augsburg

Augsburg is overall very save even at night, of course trainstations have a little bit of a drugscene, the most is in Oberhausen. I walked severel times from the main strainstation of Augsburg home in the middle of the night, and I never even got catcalled

Lubeck

In the city center I always feel safe to walk home at night but I try to stay in well lighted areas and main roads. I avoid the central station as good as I can during nights but never had a bad experience there. Police is also quite visible, so all over I feel safe in Lübeck.

Dresden

Overall, I think Dresden is relatively safe, but there are some areas where you shouldn't be out at night and where you should be careful. However, Neustadt is always very lively in the evenings, and it’s safe and full of warm, friendly, and politically correct people!!
