How safe is Hanover for solo female travelers?
Solo travel
I felt safe, but most of the food was greek or Schnitzel there was almost no other kind of meat, it was really cold even if it was august and there was not much to do, just going to the mall and stuff like that, I did like an asian place that had "red curry rice" in the hannover train station mall, it was the best food I tried there, and after 2 years, I still miss it

I think Hannover is a great city to travel. It’s big and modern, which attracts me a lot. I’ve definitely had a great time there. And also I love the buildings there. It’s not single but different kinds of. I love this Variety. It’s like the people there, from different countries and have different views.

Is Hanover safe for women?
Hbf smells bad and random people might scream at you for no reason so i would avoid that place if possible. . . .
Posted: September 8, 2026I actually feel very safe in Hanover, but I also have to admit that I grew up in what many people would probably consider one of the rougher or less safe parts of the city. My neighbors were sex workers and drug addicts, so being around people like that was normal for me. I think that mainly taught me how to interact with all kinds of people and showed me that peaceful coexistence is possible, which is why I’m not particularly afraid in those situations. That said, I can understand why people...

Hannover is safe but I would be at the Steintor Region during the day and especially not during the night. Also I try to avoid the main train station (Hbf) during late hours. There are sometimes weird people wondering around. Protection people are present tho at the main train station

Hannover feels normally safe like in other big cities in germany. If you'd like to feel extra safe, avoid the main station and Steintor in thr nights. The people are nice and open and I feel really safe.
Posted: March 17, 2026You don't have to be afraid as long as you generally avoid dangerous areas (Steintor, Hauptbahnhof, Nordstadt, etc.) after dark. Nevertheless, caution is advised, as friends of mine have been harassed or mugged in these areas.

I feel secure but we shouldn't trust anybody anywhere. I already took Subway at 2am and that was fine. There were some drunk people but also some that comes home after a trip (late train) so I would feel insecure if there was only drunk people but they are not.

About me
Hey im Tara , from Germany 🇩🇪 Half German , half French here . I think my story’s kinda different to a lot of girls here , I grew up in a very religious environment, living by old standards. Got married young , birthed the kids , never took my drivers license and never really started to work . Now after my little girl was born I broke out of of this very tightening construct. She’s a little disabled but a whole sunshine nonetheless ☀️ I found this app by accident to be honest but now I’m so glad I did ! Like , I really want to travel the world ❤️ but also , I want to meet more strong , awesome , lovely , women to encourage each other , provide safe spaces , laugh, go on adventures , maybe even cry together , lift each other up… We’re women and we’re amazing 💪 So please , If you wouldn’t mind hosting me , I’d be more than grateful ! I’d love to make new friends as well ☺️ And in return , girls , you’re always welcome to let me host you in Germany ❤️ More on the outer skirts of Hanover , but even Berlin isn’t a very long drive . The north see is also not that far , castles all around ( I’m a sucker for historical places 🙈) and nature . I love nature ! We can go sightseeing, join the October festival, even party together , but also just sit in nature and relax . We can share secrets ( loyalty is one of my musts to have to be honest ) , we can cook together , eat out… Just whatever is going to come to our mind ☺️ But also , if you just need someone to host you , I promise you won’t have to sign a paper to entertain me 24/7 h or at all. I’m also happy to just let you stay and enjoy Germany by yourself . When I was child I was dreaming about friends , travelling , being an empowered women. Your own Keys included :) I’d love to hear from you all ❤️ And now I’m 31, I want this little girls dream make come true . I’m on a healing journey , and I’m happy and grateful to everyone who wants to come along 🌷 I’d love being a travel host in Germany 🌼 I’d love to make new friends and get to know new people 🌼 I don’t care about your beliefs, religion, gender, 🌼 I’d love to make friends in and out of Germany 🌷 I’d love to make travel buddy’s and explore the world and the beautiful views with you 🌷

About me
I came here from couchsurfing, which I used for 12 years. So I'm an experienced host as well as a guest who follows your house rules. By now, I mainly travel to Italy, because I am in love with the people, the culture, the food and the landscape. As a host I offer a key, so you can come and go as you please. You can get a guest bike if needed. Also, you'll be invited to my table when I cook, if you want to. Just know that I smoke, and I do so inside my apartment. If you can't stand that, please don't ask me to host you, because I am not going outside of my own home. I do so when I'm a guest in your house though.
