Berlin, Solo travel
I felt safe during my time and I currently live and study here, but I wouldn’t recommend Berlin to anyone who isn’t really big on clubbing and partying because otherwise it’s a boring city and the weather doesn’t help

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 those things for me, and she answered “If only you could know what people gave to me, I have to return the favour.”

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.

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

Usually safe, nothing ever happened to me but you here some crazy stuff in the news sometimes that someone was hurt right down the street. Also stay away from the junkies at the central stations and don't make eye contact with them, they are usually harmless but don't provoke them...

You are very safe here. Low criminals. You can go out alone as a woman no problems. The only thing you should be careful is alone at night behind the train station. You can do whatever you want and police is help8

Munich has a low crime rate (most common crimes are vandalism and theft) and is mostly safe during the day. But watch out in the night. There are weird men going around, so I recommend to not go out alone in lonely & dark areas

I've never had any safety issues in Berlin, not even when walking home alone late at night. But we're talking about a big city, so safety won't be perfect. So the advice for women is the same as always: avoid parks and isolated areas alone at night, etc.

Karlsruhe is a very safe city. In the day as well as during the night. I never have a strange feeling when I am driving home. There are some people on the streets especially on the weekend but never people, i am afraid of
