Berlin, Group travel
I recommend you to visit different food spots for every meal every day. The food was amazing! There is a lot of different and international option. You don‘t have to visit the most popular and expensive ones with people lining up outside, even the small bakeries/cafes are very good!

I felt very welcomed by the sister that hosted me, that became a friend. I loved the forest all around and that is very accessible with public transportation. I really had great time. The market around the cathedral is lovely and you can find local interesting products. There is awareness about gluten free needs in most places I have had food and I found people lovely, relaxed and friendly.

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.
Posted: January 1, 2025Hanover, Solo travel
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

Bremen
Most parts of Bremen are very safe, only the Bahnhofsvorstadt and Viertel in the nighttime can be a bit scary and pickpocketing can happen in bars sometimes. Other than that it is a pleasant city and public transport is safe.

Is a typical little city in Germany. You can find a way someone that can help you with information or whatever you need! I live about 7 minutes by car by the city centre in a very little Ort called Walkersbach. Really safe for solo travellers 🫡

About Me
Hi!, My name is Katharina. I am 20 years old and I am studying social Work in Germany. When I am on holidays I love to travel and meet new people on my journeys. After I graduated high-school I went for a one year journey to Finland. It was a great experience to get to know locals and learn about the culture of the country. After that I always wanted to have those kind of experiences again when I am travelling. So I am always interested in meeting new people when I am on my journeys. I am an open person and I love to meet people but I would describe myself also like a little bit shy. I am a calm person and besides the big adventures I also like to just drink a cup of tee and relax. I'm interested in backpacking, camping, culture, events, hiking, nightlife, swimming, writing and sunbathing. Especially I love music. Listening to it and sometimes try to do it myself :)
