Mainly it's really safe like everywhere in Europe. As a women all by yourself you will maybe have some strange people looking at you differently but I never experienced anything bad. Even walking alone in the night on lonely Streets.

From my experience, I feel safe. And this is coming from a black woman. Berlin feels like a very safe city. Public transport runs day and night, and there are always people around. Of course, like in every big city, it’s good to stay aware, but overall I feel comfortable and safe here as a woman.”
Posted: August 22, 2025Berlin is a safe city. Women can go around, also at night, in general without risking anything. I had a few incidents only with requests or remarks but nothing that I didn’t solve with a solid no. I would totally recommend. Public transports are also very safe and many women use them at night alone.
Posted: August 12, 2025I felt safe in Berlin, especially cause I was with a friend, however there’s a bit of sketchy people around, but I felt much safer than in my home country cause these people actually never harassed us, they were totally minding their business, still we didnt felt 100% safe especially cause the bus we had to take to go back home had their routes scheduled only till 8/9 pm, at least we found only those
Posted: August 9, 2025Overall, Berlin is a very safe place, especially compared to other cities around the world. However, it is a big city, and sometimes there are creepy or weird people, so you should always stay mindful (like anywhere) and trust your gut feeling.

Went to Berlin with a couple of friends. I was really looking forward to partying. We went to a few places and I can confirm it is as good as people say. The only things I would point out is that most clubs are not really that close to each other (can be easily solved thanks to the good public transport). I also ,in my personal experience, I felt pretty safe. There was only one guy we encountered who was kind of a creep and even then some other guys told him to back off. The thing is that there's much more men partying compared to the amount of women which isn't a bad thing per se but I'm accustomed to a more 50-50 night scene in my country.
