How safe is Freiburg im Breisgau for solo female travelers?

Solo travel

This little city was really charming. I really liked the market and the heart warming cakes. I’ve been welcomed freely by a woman thanks to “Couchsurfing” who was used to travel alone too. I was surprised by her big heart. We talked a lot that night, she gave me confidence with only few words. She prepared me food in advance and offered me a lunch for the next day (even if I was leaving this exact day). She even payed the drink… her kindness was melting my heart. I asked her why did she do all...

Solo travel

I felt very welcomed by the sister that hosted me, that became a friend. I loved the forest all around and that is very accessible with public transportation. I really had great time. The market around the cathedral is lovely and you can find local interesting products. There is awareness about gluten free needs in most places I have had food and I found people lovely, relaxed and friendly.

I feel pretty safe here bit a lot of my female frinds are getting comments in the night time but idk if there is a city on this word where men just leave woman alone… Criminal rate isnt high and its a pretty left sided city with lots of people willing to help in unsecure situations.

At Day it is mostly safe in the whole city, especially in the city center you don't need to worry at all. At night, like everywhere, it is a bit different, but still not super dangerous (nothing has ever happed to me personally). Especially the Stühlinger Kirchplatz I would avoid at night.

Freiburg is very safe! The criminal rate is not that high and as a woman, I feel pretty safe. If you are on a night out you should still be with someone else. If you don’t have anybody to go home with then call an “Frauentaxi” this is a taxi just for woman who need to go home at night.

One of the safest cuties in Germany. Very friendly and welcoming . Most young people can speak other languages including English and French. In summer we have the best weather. Nature surrounds the city.

About me

Helloo! I’m Charlotte, 20 years old, originally from Hamburg but moved to the smaller student city of Freiburg for university. I have loved my first year there, as it is very sunny, surrounded by green hills and social life is very easygoing:) In order to get some distance from my beautiful comfort in Freiburg, I applied for a scholarship for solo study trips (ZIS scholarship) and if everything works out with my visa I am going to Algeria! That’s why I am looking for some cool people to get to know there right now✌🏻 I am grateful to have already been able to go abroad on my own before; after school I went to Kenya for 6 months, last summer I spontaneously hopped on trains from Hamburg to Portugal. I have been on the App Couchsurfing before, but this platform seems nicer!
