I went to Berlin for 3 says with 2 friends and I felt very safe. We went to see christmas market and its beeeautiful! I recommend go on december because of that and try the hot wine (5€ just the drink, 10€ if u want to keep the CUP) pls. We paid 5€ to entry. The city is so clean, and quiet (too quite tho). You have a lot of things to see from holocausto and its heavy stuff. I tried a lot of different beers and the hot dog in german is unbeliaveable. 3 days its more than enough!

I lived in Bamberg, Bavaria for 3 months. It is the small town near Nurnberg, with lots of historical buildings. Bamberg is one of several towns which had survived from burning in the second World War, so almost every historical building is built in the12-13th centuries. This town is known for smoked beer which is made only here as a unique one, so the main reason of visit this place is to taste smoked beer 🍺 Town is located on the banks of the river so there are lots of beautiful views 🌸

my experience cologne was really nice, i went for the concert there, and felt quite safe throughout the day, though maybe not as much during the night time. the transportation was okay, though there were some problems with bus, which made me amost miss my train

I felt safe, i just had to watch out on the streets with clubs. I would recommend going to Kunsthalle museum and if you like going out then Reeperbahn. My restaurant recommendation is block house. I stayed at my sister’s so she drove me around but there is local bus and a train.

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

We were in Hamburg. The city has many activities. Like take a boat trip. I was at the musical "Harry Potter and the cursed chıld". The city library is huge. In the basement, used/old books, audio books, films and games are sold at a reasonable price.

I felt safe because a lot of people are open-minded, and in such a big city, you don't feel alone. The great thing is that there are all kinds of people. I really love going to Berlin Mitte in the spring and summer. It's such a great place for shopping for good clothes, eating yummy food, and the vibe is refreshing and nice.

The place is very nice, I recommend visiting the concentration camp. It is very easy to get there, you take 1 train and 1 bus. I felt pretty safe and before it got dark I returned to the hostel. I hope the information helped you

I love Berlin! I felt safe and sound. Night life was amazing, the hostel and hosts were great. Tresor techno club was very tourist friendly. 22 euro for 8 h of dance. Food was great! I will definitely visit again 😊

I felt safe but I was also there for 24hrs. There was a lot of places to walk to but I felt limited with choice of things to see. I would definetly recommend the Old Town in the evening for a drink and food.

Bayreuth is a very safe city to stay in, the crime rate isn‘t high and it‘s pretty safe to go for a walk in the nighttime. I often go for a walk in the night but always with protection. Strange people could be everywhere; that doesn‘t have to do anything with the city itself:)

I have lived here since I was 2 years old and I can't remember anything really bad that has happened here. No scary stories or whatever. The only thing I remember was when someone broke into my aunt's house which has happened like 10 years ago.

Hola ladiesss, I’m Lara, 19 years old, born and raised in Germany, and I want to learn as much as I can from the world! My family is originally from Turkey, and I am lucky to say that they taught me the language as well as the culture.

I am looking forward to getting to know each other :)
