It’s fairly safe don’t do the usual stuff like leaving drink unattended going to clubs with strangers (men) through dark alleys. But otherwise I do feel safe especially at day time maybe around 2 in the morning some u bahns are whack. Ah and DONt make eye contact with crazy people
Posted: July 9, 2025The safety level depends on the neighborhood and time of day. Here and there one can encounter drunk individuals on the public transportation especially on weekends who can get assaulting. Many drug users in some areas. There are definitely areas to avoid at night.
Posted: July 9, 2025Berlin is overall safe, but you need to be on your watch a bit at night. Creepy men follow women sometimes, so you might want to get an uber home when coming back late at night. I recently heard of a friend of a friend who got followed by a man from the bus all the way into her building, and when she opened the door to her flat he tried to push her inside! Also, be careful with your drinks in the club. As I said, overall, I find it safe. Have been living there for 9 years and I was pickpocketed twice in the public transport, that's it. But things do happen, so just be a bit aware at night.
Posted: July 8, 2025Berlin is a very vibrant and modern city. Most of the time I feel very safe and there are other women and people around who could protect you in case of an emergency/attack. However I have often experienced catcalling .
Posted: July 7, 2025Berlin is a City with so many Places. I think when your local you will never be in places like the Tourists. I live here for 4 years now and never been robbed. At some point catcalling is a thing. Never been touched by a man. But I also heared Storys from my friends. So be careful and never been in the Tourists places. At all it’s not the prettiest in Berlin. :))
Posted: July 7, 2025It really depends on the location. If it is on the outer ring of Berlin or in the more wealthy parts, it is very safe. However, Berlin Mitte, Neukölln, Wedding, Kreuzberg, Schöneberg and some other districts are rather rough, especially at night. I also don't feel very safe in the U-Bahn, so I recommend busses, the Regionalbahn or the S-Bahn at night.

I went on Christmas holiday. It was pretty cold but there was all the Christmas decoration and the atmosphere was incredibly welcoming. I was with my family and we stayed in an hostel. During the day I organized a sort of tour to visit the most famous thing like the Berlin wall. I loved that city.

Hey! I’ve been in Berlin twice. The 1st one was in November. For my perspective, Berlin is expensive. The hotels are expensive actually. I stayed at leonardo hotel Berlin mitte, it was brilliant and worth of money but still expensive! I went to see my friend but I was only with him at nights. During the day I was feeling safe, but I think at nights it’s a bit scary for a girl to be alone. The food was ok.. some restaurants were really good and some others not, but you can see reviews before you go everywhere
