Is Potsdam Safe for Women?

I would say that Potsdam is a very safe city. Of course, as a young girl you sometimes feel uncomfortable, but I still move around alone at night without fear. Sometimes you hear strange comments, but overall it's definitely okay.

Potsdam is pretty safe as I experienced it now for over 19 years. Of course it doesn’t mean no crimes happen here at all, but I haven’t been a victim of any. It’s not a city where you have to be concerned about your safety or your personal stuff all the time, also because it’s as Berlin or other cities where many tourists are.

In my experience, Potsdam is a very safe city. I lived here all my life and never encountered any kind of crime. In most parts of the city, I feel really safe walking alone at night. Public transportation is available until the early morning hours and apart from a drunk person here and there, feels safe as well.

It’s safe in comparison, but if course at night you have to be careful. But everyday harassment like catcalling is pretty low. I personally never experienced any dangerous situations in the city, but in the villages around it is more.

I think Potsdam is relatively safe. You should stay away from some areas but I always feel safe during the day. I've only been spoken to strangely twice in public transport in more than 10 years and it was always easy to quickly leave the situation.

Group travel

Just got back from Potsdam and it was a total vibe. Started at Sanssouci Palace — it’s like a real-life fairy tale, but with more fancy gardens and less magic. The wind had other plans for my hair, though. Then I checked out the Dutch Quarter, which felt like Amsterdam’s cuter cousin. Had some ridiculously strong coffee at a cozy café and just soaked it all in. Definitely a day well spent!
