Is Berlin Safe for Women? Crime Rate in Berlin

Hmm Berlin is… It’s not Safe yeah there are a lot of drunk people and crazy people all year around. It’s its own little universe. And just ignore the screaming people on the subway or any other transportation:/

Berlin is generally safe, with a crime rate of 13,500 per 100,000 people and a violent crime rate of 1,000 per 100,000. So i would say it’s pretty safe i’m just scared as a girl idk why. it’s not as bad as new york or london

Berlin is pretty safe I would say. Sure walking in the dark alone especially in not crowded areas can be scary but until now everything felt pretty safe and i actually don't worry a lot walking home alone!

I generally feel safe enough to go out because you aren’t alone anywhere even at night there are always people around. Some areas are a bit more sketchy as in every city but over all I feel good here.

Berlin is ultra safe. Having said that, as a Jewish woman, I refrain from showcasing my background through religious symbols or headdress. Berlin has a large Muslim community, and while there are many interfaith and cross-community initiatives, being visibly Jewish isn't always safe.

It highly depends on the time of day and even more where in Berlin you are. I often walk around at night and feel very safe but I'm a local and know my way around. I heard other things from other women. Try to connect with locals and ask about safe spaces. Berlin is a very feminist, queer and loud city and you'll find a lot of people who will help you but at the same time it's a party city with a lot of drug use and rude men. Be especially careful in clubs and inform yourself about the club you want to visit and where to find help / how to avoid getting drugged. That being said, I never had this experiences myself. So don't be too afraid of the big dangerous Berlin and have a wonderful time!

Safe but depends on where your are going, sometimes a bit hectic or dangerous but only at night. And also more, if you are alone. With friends and in the daylight there are no problems. In general I feel like it is safe but just inform yourself beforehand

Safety varies a lot, depending on the district. WPOC may encounter more racially motivated attacks in the east of Berlin (Hohenschönhausen, Marzahn, Lichtenberg). Within the Ring you should be fine. Avoid walking alone at night in districts with a busy nightlife or places like Görlitzer Park which are known to be popular dealing spots. Remember that there are panic buttons in each subway station. Berlin is huge and very overpopulated, so you will see lots of different people behaving erratically. Don‘t interact with them and avoid eye contact and you will be just fine. :)

Berlin is very safe in my opinion. The only tip I would give is: don’t go home alone after clubbing. Otherwise, I feel very safe within the Berlin ring, and nothing bad has ever happened to me or my friends.

I think, Berlin is safer than it seems to be. I always go home at night alone, and never something happened. For sure people (men) would look or even whistle or something, but nothing physically. I just think you should be aware of your stuff when being i a crowded area, for example don’t put your phone into the backpocket of your pants.

Group travel

I spent a full day in Berlin during my Interrail Trip in Febuary 2023. I absolutely loved loved loved the Berlin Wall, so please visit it when you get the chance. We saw all major sightseeing landmarks in just one day, most notably the Brandenburger Tor, the Judendenkmal, the Weltzeituhr and many more.

Solo travel

I felt mostly safe, my biggest enemy was ice which was everywhereee and I almost slipped a few times (I wore Dr. Martens which are the only winter shoes I have). Main focus of my yourney was kpop concert(Ateez) so I went to kpop and pop up shops, Asia store (for some korean snacks) visited Eastern Wall, spent some time on Alexander Platz, went to a Planetarium, saw Alexander Turm(not on the inside too expensive you can skip that), ate rolls at Cinnamood, tried Burger at Burgermeister, went to some asian restaurant (Mizumi), tried the allegedly best Boba Tea in Berlin at Cokebuy (personally was not the best), ate the best dumplings at Dumplingworld (I think) and went to a kpop party. All in all amazing experience. Traffic is amazing, you can easily arrive anywhere you need as long as you have google maps and understand even a bit of language although almost everyone speaks English in Berlin.
