Berlin, Solo travel
I felt safe during my time and I currently live and study here, but I wouldn’t recommend Berlin to anyone who isn’t really big on clubbing and partying because otherwise it’s a boring city and the weather doesn’t help

Freiburg im Breisgau, Solo travel
This little city was really charming. I really liked the market and the heart warming cakes. I’ve been welcomed freely by a woman thanks to “Couchsurfing” who was used to travel alone too. I was surprised by her big heart. We talked a lot that night, she gave me confidence with only few words. She prepared me food in advance and offered me a lunch for the next day (even if I was leaving this exact day). She even payed the drink… her kindness was melting my heart. I asked her why did she do all those things for me, and she answered “If only you could know what people gave to me, I have to return the favour.”

It does feel safe. And berlin is not as expensive as I thought, much and more is affordable here and the quality at which food gets sold is very much richer than the price. Overall experience has been excellent.

Generally Cologne was really safe, I liked it so much first time as Solo traveler, so I decided to go there second time with my family and show them around, it was beautiful too, and I was surprised to hear turkish people everywhere lol, more than german

It depends on where you are. In some areas, for example around train stations it's quite unsafe and there were some attacks in the past years. One of those attacks was even in the pedestrian zone. It's normally safe, but you just never know

Honestly Berlin is tough as female solo-traveler. I'm from here but if you are by yourself you will probably at least once receive catcalling or stares, especially when you have a cool outfit on and it's nighttime. But if you are out and about in alternative spaces, majority really minds their own business and you can feel comfortable as you are. I'd recommend being with one other person during the night for safety reasons.

if you know how to avoid certain areas at night (koblenz main station where the crack addicts are) and stay in the old city to party, you're okay. there might be some weird men out in the city, but not more than somewhere else in a moderately small european city. i've been walking the city alone at night since i've been 15 and nothing ever happened- however in bars, men might be a little persuasive, so be careful not to talk to just anyone.

I feel safe walking through Leipzig, even at night. The only problem is the huge park, which is not illuminated at night, but you can avoid it. There are football games at most of the weekends and the fans can be quite disagreeable, so maybe stay away from them and the stadium.
