I felt safe I recommend visiting not only one city Transport was easy to access, and the cities were walkable. I stayed in guest houses which were amazing, it felt like home at Lotte- The backpackers in Heidelberg. I am persco-vegetarian and it was easy for me to find options without meat. The overall trip was affordable.

I traveled solo to Germany and I felt safe and comfortable. I walked around by myself, and got lost and everyone was wonderful and helpful. I got lost in München at 3 am walking back to my hotel from a food and beer tour and I felt safer walking back there than I did walking in many cities at home.

Itinerary: I loved the city of cologne, I went to the cathedral, I ate that traditional food made with delicious pork and cabbage. I stayed there for 5 days❤️ Things to do: I visited the cathedral, the bay where the chocolate museum is located, and the pubs with the best beers Safety: Super safe, I didn't feel unsafe at any time Budget: I didn't find it expensive, just the water I paid 5€ for a 500 ml bottle loool But otherwise it was more or less the same price as Lisbon. Accommodation: We hooked up an Airbnb, it was about €50 per person, we were 8 people.

I lived in Germany for 2 years, the country is super safe during the day and night, and the best way to travel around the country is with the DB train, FlixBus, or a shared car (Blablacar). Berlin is super busy, it's not dangerous but just be careful on the eastern side of the city in the evenings.
