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...

Hamburg

From a local perspective I would say that Hamurg is pretty safe. I mean you have to take in consideration, that its still a huge city which always includes crime and stuff but if you know where to go its pretty chill :)

I love the city, but please be careful at night. The train station is one of the most unsafe places in Germany. So Just be careful. In general the city is safe, especially in the center. Also be careful in the South of the City. Its not really a nice place, especially at night!

Hanau

Hanau is a safe multicultural city but I would be careful at night. As there shooting incident on foreigners because of racism. It happened in Kesselstadt and also in Heumarkt. So take care girls and stay safe :)

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.

About me

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. Money is tight and therefore I'm constantly looking for options to travel without having all the costs. This app seems like a wonderful opportunity to connect meeting new inspiring women and getting to know new places. Sometimes I'm traveling for uni or work and if you host me you'll contribute to my environmentalist work. Thank you! 🌎💓
