How safe is Germany for solo female travelers?

🇩🇪 Germany — my home base so far 🤍 Germany has been my home base for the past seven months, since I moved here from South Africa to spend my gap year as an au pair. I haven’t had the chance to explore nearly as much of the country as I’d like because most of my time is spent working, so this is definitely more of a “my life in Germany so far” post than a Germany travel guide! 😂 I’m currently based near Mainz, and most of my exploring has been around Mainz, Frankfurt, Heidelberg and the...

HIDDEN GEM. Not touristy and so beautifull (the houses omg), the experience was more intense bcs of that. I was there when Zunftmarkt was, so nice and magical people were so friendly. Best random decision ever <3

Berlin, Family travel
My mom and I went to Berlin for a few days, stayed in a cheap hostel and rode the underground train into the city everyday. This was a great opportunity to save some money. In Berlin we walked around seeing all the sights. We had a great time together!

I absolutely loved this gorgeous city! Public transport worked perfectly, it was super clean and it was easy to move around. The only thing I didn't like about Munich was the amount of harassment I experienced from men. I was even followed once. It’s a beautiful city and totally worth it, but be careful (as you would anywhere) if you go on your own!

I went to Germany on a school trip. We had a collaboration with a german school, and it was really interesting. We lived in Schwetzingen, went to the John Deere factory and did some shopping in Mannheim, as well as explored/shopped and went to the Kulturbraueri in Heidelberg.

Hamburg, Group travel
This year i traveled to hamburg with my whole class🙏 Def one of the beat experiences i‘ve had. it was so much fun and we saw a bunch if stuff (especially in the redlight district) Our original stay was weißenhäuser strand, which was an incredible cool „town“ idk if you can call it that. We drank too much one night and the security came knocking on our door (i was asleep) I would definitely do it again especially in a large group. Looking forward to visiting hamburg again (this year maybe...

This was my first trip to Munich, and although it was a short one, I really enjoyed it. We mostly explored the beautiful old town, wandered through the city center, and took in the atmosphere. My favorite spot was definitely the Eisbach. It was the perfect place to cool off in the hot weather, even though the water was incredibly cold! I didn’t get to see everything this time, but it definitely made me want to come back and explore more.

Black Forest, Group travel
With a fellow travel lady, I went backpacking through the Black Forest. We walked a total of 160kms from Forbach to the Feldberg. We spent the nights either in trekking camps, in campsites or on farms. The landscapes were beautiful, we came across many lakes such as Herrenwiesensee, Titisee and Mathisleweiher (my favourite!). Overall, we felt very safe and met lots of lovely, mostly elderly people encouraging us to finish this eight day hike. If you like spending time outdoors, I highly...

Perfect for people seeing something intense and special experience. Most attractive city in Germany absolutely but as a solo traveler, It would be better to take care yourself on nighttime especially.

I went to Bonn to visit a friend of mine and it was an amazing experience. The river was so nearby and with the train Cologne was only an hour. I also liked Koblenz and I recommend to everyone. Just go and explore

It’s a safe place to visit or stay. Solo travelers are always welcome to visit and enjoy. Local foods and and drinks are good and cheap. The locals are friendly towards outsiders and most of the locals speak English.

Hamburg
Overall, Hamburg is a very safe city - being out alone as a woman or going out to Party is not a problem at all. As in any big city, you should be cautious in Clubs, but there are always plenty of ordinary people around. The only areas that are a bit rough are the central station and the Reeperbahn (more drunken/drug-addicted people).

I feel very safe in cologne. There are some streets where u have to be more aware than others. At night I avoid the "Ringe", the station, Neumarkt and Heumarkt, although I sometimes pass through there and nothing ever happened to me.

Berlin
In my experience Berlin is pretty safe. The public transport areas, as Ubahn lines for example, become more unsafe during the winter, as the homeless people are mostly trying to find some warmth inside the metro stations. If you are uneasy with strange people, avoid the U8, places like Rosenthaler Platz, Kottbusser Tor, Boddinstraße

Giessen is a small student city, it has a very nice and peaceful environment, it specially becomes live during the semester because lots of students are in town, overall I've never had a bad experience, can't say it's the most safe city, you should always be careful around bahnhof specially at night. But overall, I personally enjoy staying here.

It is a small and calm city and even at night I mostly feel safe. Sometimes you meet weird people but compared to other places it is fine. I would say during daytime there’s nothing to worry about and at night I would avoid the darkest areas around the city alone then you should be fine.

Hi, I’m Sarah. ☀️Over the past few years, I’ve done quite a lot of travelling on my own, mostly with my camper van. This winter, I’ll be going on my first long-distance trip, and I’m hoping to connect with some people here, get some tips and recommendations, and maybe find a few places to stay along the way. If anyone ever happens to be travelling through southern Germany and needs a place to sleep (I live in a rather rural area), feel free to reach out. I have plenty of space and would be more than happy to host you! :)
