It depends where you are in berlin, I for example live in kladow, here it's very safe in my opinion. There are every now and then some thief's going around and smaller vandalism, like spray painting and destoid glas at busstations, but apart from that I never noticed something off

Like every other city there are places like some stations and some quarters or parcs i wouldnt recommend (when its dark) but in general very safe. I am living here since 5 years and nothing ever happened to me.

Berlin is pretty safe if you are in the right neighborhoods. Prenzlauer Berg or Charlottenburg for example are pretty safe. But if you’re in Wedding or Neukölln at night, unfortunately you have to watch out, especially in the U-Bahn.
Posted: January 5, 2025For sure it's a city that I consider safer than many other European cities like Barcelona for example. I feel that also if Berlin is very dark in the night, people are less likely coming to speak with you.
Posted: January 5, 2025Berlin is generally open minded and fun, but a lot of places are just very sketchy, especially after dark. A lot of homelessness and criminality isn’t making me feel very safe, but I would say it‘s primarily after dark and mostly safe, especially if you are in a touristy-spot
Posted: January 5, 2025There are areas that are quite more unsafe than others. Since I live here for a long time I feel very safe here. I think in generell to be a woman in a big city but compared to other city’s it is safe here.
Posted: January 4, 2025Berlin U-Bahn and public parks are the most dangerous places in the town after dark, especially at the weekend, also check for your phone in the crowd and your bags while you sitting somewhere, it's not that bad like in Barcelona, but take care 💅
Posted: January 3, 2025usually people in berlin are very open-minded, but walking in the night or in public transports, you probally will face drunk people, which do seem scary sometimes. mostly they aren’t to worry bout, as long as you just stay quiet and ignore them, but there is criminality as well
Posted: January 2, 2025I feel quite safe as a white cis woman. It depends when and where. I would not go through a park alone at night or leave my drink in a club. There is some catcalling. But in general people are cool and don’t go into contact easily; they mind their own business. Friends of colour told me that they avoid the outskirts and surroundings as we have naziproblems. In most parts queerness is lived openly. Berlin is quite open and tolerant. Moving through town at night feels safe.

Berlin is a pretty safe place. There Are always lots of people on the streets, even at night. However I would not walk alone in a park at Night. Stay away from görlitzer park at night. If you go to a club, you should watch your drink. But there are always awareness Teams around.

I felt safe because a lot of people are open-minded, and in such a big city, you don't feel alone. The great thing is that there are all kinds of people. I really love going to Berlin Mitte in the spring and summer. It's such a great place for shopping for good clothes, eating yummy food, and the vibe is refreshing and nice.

I love Berlin! I felt safe and sound. Night life was amazing, the hostel and hosts were great. Tresor techno club was very tourist friendly. 22 euro for 8 h of dance. Food was great! I will definitely visit again 😊

I am a logical thinking technical engineer, but also a dreamer. So, what should i say... just try to connect ;-)) if I have got time maybe we see us and I can host you.

I love traveling and getting to know other people and cultures. 😍 I live in Berlin, I have a small apartment, but I think I can cost another person if you are easygoing :)
