I would say it’s pretty safe in the common areas, just some area you should avoid in the night of course just to be safe. no görli at night, some lonely streets in neukölln too but overall i think you don’t need to worry about. i feel saver here than in my little home town
Posted: December 3, 2024Usually Berlin is really safe. As with every city in this world, if you go to the obviously wrong places at the wrong time it becomes less save. So far I haven’t had very bad experiences in Berlin :-)
Posted: November 27, 2024It really depends on where you are and what time of day it is, but overall it’s really really safe! Sure there are pickpockets so take care of your handbags and luggage. But overall there is always police on really crowded places like alexanderplatz and there is usually a lot of people always around who have civil courage and will help out if you’re being harassed or something.
Posted: November 22, 2024I spent some time in Berlin and let's say that, like all big cities, it has its downsides. For sure, it's not very advisable to walk around in the evening, but anyway, if you are with more than one person, it's already better. However, it's not very calm even during the day.
Posted: November 11, 2024Pretty safe city unless you are in particular neighborhoods but they are also relatively safe. Transportation is easy to use. And also public transportation is enough to travel around. Has diverse community, but it creates safety rather than making it dangerous. Shops close early, but streets are well-lit and walking alone in dark doesn’t create safety alert.
Posted: November 9, 2024It depends on where you are exactly, but overall it is safe. You just should not walk at night alone in the centre of the City. If you feel unsafe it is a good idea to talk to a woman or trustworthy Person.

Like any big metropole, Berlin has its city central locations, where pickpocketing may occur and over-priced tours are offered, leeching off the unaware tourists. But aside from that, as a solo woman you can safely use public transport, and go to any neighborhood. You can find queer-friendly events across the whole city. Regarding nightlife, the techno scene is the most inclusive, non-sexist and queer-friendly niche. Do beware of male groups at commercial music clubs.

I live in Berlin my hole live and i love it. I live in Spandau it’s a very calm district but if you want to feel more typical Berlin vibes you need to visit Prenzlauer Berg or schöne Berg but the safety is not really big. In Mitte, Charlottenburg and Steglitz it’s more safe and more touristy but all in all is Berlin really okay from safety if you listen to your belly
Posted: October 9, 2024Pretty safe! People just mind their own business and don’t care about others! You maybe want to avoid some places in the center but it’s definitely a good place and I feel safe from the first minute I got here
Posted: October 3, 2024Although some areas might not feel safe, they are more safe than they seem to. Just in some areas in the public transport especially at night it can be not comfortable let's say. But it's not dangerous. It's all really depends on the neighborhood you are in.

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 love Berlin. It's my favorite city. There are museums and thrift stores everywhere. The atmosphere of the biergaten is super cool. I went there with my family, as a couple and solo, and each time, it was a great experience.

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 :)
