Is Berlin Safe for Women? Crime Rate in Berlin

I think Berlin is a very safe city if you travel consciously. The public transport can be unusual and gross and maybe there are weird people sometimes but if you are aware of your surroundings you will be alright. That doesn’t mean that there aren’t inappropriate comment or stupid, drunk men but if you are in the center of Berlin there will be lots of people around that you can also approach if you feel unsafe. If you are Queer and it is visible, be careful when visiting outside districts such as Köpenick, Marzahn-Hellersdorf, Weissensee, Reinickendorf etc. It isn’t usually dangerous, in my opinion, but there are more right wing people living there that won’t shy away from making a homophobic comment or trying to scare you. Stay safe!!

Berlin looks safe but honestly there are a lot of unhinged and crazy people on the streets. You have to be hyper aware of your surroundings here. It’s safer than many cities if its size but that can be deceptive. People often get stuff stolen here also, and our building has been burgled twice.

Berlin is a safe city if you're living in the center but depends on neighbourhoods. It is safe for women and queer folks I would say from my experience but I am always worried at night in the public transport even though there isn't always any visible threat and it seems to be quite safe after all. Nothing ever happened to me in 6 months living there but I have seen women being drugged against their will in bars.

Generally I don't worry when I am in Berlin, also at night time. I am pretty conscious of my surroundings. In certain areas you need to be more aware of pickpocketing but just be street smart and it is safe

It really depends on the area. In certain areas you should probably not be alone at night, but mostly it's really not that dangerous. I do always carry a pepper spray but I never had to use it. Just make sure you look up the area you are in and stay in groups. But again it's only a few areas most of Berlin is not that bad.

It is a big city afterall. So yes, it's undeniable that there are crimes happening. Depending on the area, you'll find some crazy people. But overall, if you take the general precautions, it's a quite safe city to walk around

Such an amazing city, I constantly catch myself reminiscing on those 2 months I spent there. LOADS of things to do and see there: museums, parks, clubs, pubs, interesting streets, etc. I felt quite safe there, but nighttime in Berlin is quite "heavy", a lot of people do drugs in clubs etc., so it's important to stay careful and aware of your surroundings. Quite an expensive city too yet it's totally worth it, the vibe is so unique.

Berlin is an amazing city with lots to do and see! I was only there for a short time so I did not get to cover everything and plan to go back eventually because of that! I felt safe walking even by myself as a woman, and the food there is amazing.
