Berlin in my point of view is quite a safe place to be and live as a women. Of course i avoid certain things like walking during the night alone through a dark park, but that's probably the only thing. So other than that it's quite safe. I've been living here for 13years now and know Berlin since i was a child because i was born not far from here and in my point of view the city got even safer in comparison to the past.

Berlin is quite safe if you don’t walk alone in dangerous parks (Görlitzer Pagk) in the night but all in all it’s a safe and chill city. In general I would rather not be walking alone in the dark in parts of the city that are empty

As long as you pay attention and travel mindfully, it should be fine. It's pretty safe actually. Just be careful in busy areas and shady places. On a day to day basis, I haven't experienced anything major, just some inconveniences.

I would say: it definitely depends on the district you’re at. Our city is such a huge one. Therefore we have different regions, that are more or less safe. I usually feel safe - even if I’m walking home alone after partying. But still: we’re girls. Many drunk man are on subway and train stations in regions, where the party-szene is going on. Most Berlin people would warn you about Neukölln or Reinickendorf. Usually you are not alone in trains, subways and we have some security people in trains. It helps feeling more safe.

I don’t feel safe after dark, but a lot of my friends do so i think it’s not the safest place but also not a worse one 😅. I was stalked ones on the night street and taxi driver saw it and save me, but it happened ones for 3 years. But also i have a lot of unpleasant and unwanted attention and looks from the mans on the streets during the day.

Is Berlin worth visiting?

I felt pretty safe in Berlin wandering around by myself, I was pretty tired the first day so I would definitely recommend taking it easy if you had an early morning. The people I got to meet were very friendly, there was a man who had approached me to ask for my number and when I told him I had a boyfriend he was very respectful and wished me a good day.
