Is Germany Safe for Solo Female Travelers?

Germany is generally a very safe destination for solo female travelers. The crime rate is low and local citizens are typically courteous and helpful. Public transportation, including trains and busses, is widely available and secure. Nevertheless, previously would be wise to respect general safety guidelines as in any other place, such as avoiding isolated areas late at night and being aware of your belongings. German people usually speak English, which makes communication easier. Remember, always trust your instincts.

Berlin, Group travel

Berlin was fun. We didn’t get in to Berghain (lol) but we did our own tour of the city and the vibes were great. Public transportation is very easy and convenient. Very diverse food options. Great rave venues - I would love to go back and let loose again!

Berlin, Solo travel

I visited Berlin at the beginning of April and it was so so nice! It is very easy to meet new people, the international setting allows you to meet people from all around the world. I really enjoyed going to a rave and I’m sure I’ll be coming back for more!!

Mittenwald, Solo travel

Mittenwald is a place out of dreams. At every bend in the road, you can see the Karwendel Mountains staring down at you, and I kept having this feeling of déjà vu, like I had seen this place somewhere before. Maybe it was in some childhood calendar or an old photograph where I was first mesmerized by the Alps. It felt like I was stepping into a memory I had carried for years without even realizing it. It was a very emotional trip. I ended up climbing Hoher Kranzberg, and as someone who isn’t...

Monchengladbach

I don't recommend to go to the back side of the train station. as it is very popular place for drunks to hang out at night. There are a lot of young aggressive folks there. The front side of the train station is safe both at night and day.

Berlin

Berlin is relatively safe compared to many big cities, but it can feel uncomfortable at times. Drunk or aggressive men, drug use, and harassment on public transport or at night are not rare. Most women still move around independently, but staying alert, especially late at night, is important.

Cologne

I feel safe as a woman walking alone at night. As safe as a woman can feel with men being around them generally. Most of the people in Cologne are very friendly. ………………………………………………………………………………………………..

Linden-Süd

In Linden it is safe I would say but stay away from behind the train station and avoid "Steintor" at night. "schwarzer bär" has a great night scene but don't stray to far! There are many drug addict near the river

Hi! I'm Lotti from Berlin, 22 y. o. and want to save our beautiful world from climate change. I love travelling, solo or with others.

About me

I am an international student in Marburg,Germany. When I have time, I like to explore new sights, usually on weekends because weekdays I'm at Uni and then in library busy studying. I'm an ambivert so I tend to be really chatty at the right time with right companions. I like reading Sci-fi novels. My hobbies are drawing, claying, puzzling and most of the time reading. I love to take a stroll in new cities and lost myself occasionally. I am a curious person who has a big appetite about almost everything in our world. Like to meet new people and learn their perspective about different things.
