Berlin, Solo travel
It does feel safe. And berlin is not as expensive as I thought, much and more is affordable here and the quality at which food gets sold is very much richer than the price. Overall experience has been excellent.

Generally Cologne was really safe, I liked it so much first time as Solo traveler, so I decided to go there second time with my family and show them around, it was beautiful too, and I was surprised to hear turkish people everywhere lol, more than german

Especially during Oktoberfest, it was very fun, very warm and people are really friendly. For stay, I stayed in a&a hostel, that's very shitty, they charge you for towel, water etc. I won't recommend that. For Food, prefer going to bars with local

So beautiful City. Nice people. I didn’t saw that much but the nature and some buildings were so pretty. I was here for a concert and it was fantastic. It’s not that big but very charming. Hope to be here again soon.

I felt pretty safe in Berlin wandering around by myself, I was pretty tired the first day so I would definitely recommend taking it easy if you had an early morning. The people I got to meet were very friendly, there was a man who had approached me to ask for my number and when I told him I had a boyfriend he was very respectful and wished me a good day.

Overall safe, the area around the central station is a little bit unsafe. At night, of course, you should always be aware of your surroundings, but nothing to be worried about. In my experience Hamburg is a save city.

You can feel safe here. Lot of people but the most are kind and helpful. You can make new friends or just enjoy this beautiful city with its great harbour. There is always something to experience and I never felt unsafe at all.

Unfortunately there’s a big Nazi problem over here in Brandenburg. New people in general aren’t really welcome, especially POC. I really really hate it… But luckily there’s no reason to travel here in the first place - it’s boring and uninteresting. If you want to experience something you take the train to Berlin.

People do stare and follow sometimes. So that things become scary but I guess these problems are everywhere we just have to look out for ourselves. Stay aware and ask out for help if something somewhere goes wrong.

It is always depending on the city district you are. At day is everything fine. If someone can bring you home, would be always the best especially at night. Walk never alone through parks, when there are no lights.
