Is Berlin Safe for Women? Crime Rate in Berlin

Berlin is not very safe. But it really depends on the area. Especially, schönleinstraße or Kottbussertor .. are risky areas and you should pay extra attention to. Just be over all attentive and watch out for weirdos.

It depends on where you are, in which district, and at what time. In general, the city is relatively safe, especially during the day, so you don't have to worry much. On weekends, even at night, public transport is very busy, so you don't feel alone. However, harassment often occurs at parties, for example, or if you're a woman out alone at night in Kreuzberg, Neukölln, or Mitte, you'll occasionally be approached, which can quickly become unpleasant.

It’s a large city, so of course when you go out to parties you should be extra cautious about your things and there are certain areas that you should be extra vigilant in. But overall, as long as you’re aware of your surroundings you should be fine.

I wouldn’t necessarily say it’s an unsafe city but wouldn’t say it’s the safest either but by no means is it a city where you have to fear for your life you know what i mean 😭😭😭 like you’ll be fine as long as you know where to go and who not to talk to and stuff

Berlin is pretty safe - but there are places where you shouldn't be at night (especially not as a woman). These include, for example, Kotbusser Tor, Görlitzer Park and Mauerpark. Be careful in the evenings with drunken groups, especially in empty streets or on the outskirts of the city. Alexanderplatz can be exhausting.

It really depends in what area you are staying in! I live in karlshorst and its a lovely crime low area with a lot of cats. Friedrichshain or Neukölln are more stressfull at night and busy in general.

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.

Solo travel

It was fun I can’t lie. Berlin is safe and there’s a lot to do at all times and the people in Berlin are unbelievably fun. Some might seem rude but that’s just because you haven’t been to germany before haha. German culture is not for the week.

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.
