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.

Cologne, Solo travel

I'm currently doing an Erasmus there. There's a lot of places to visit. Great art galleries. The people there are especially very nice, I met a lot of people and now great friends. As a queer person you will be very welcomed

Hamburg, Solo travel

What a beautiful city to visit in summertime:) There are some many things to do here: visit Miniatur Wunderland (remember to booked the ticket in advance), the Elb river, Elbphilharmonie, Speicherstadt, the Bunker, Elbtunnel, two Bundesliga teams (St.Pauli and HSV), and so many more:) Small tips: you can take some of the ferries for free, instead of paying for the tourist ships, check online in advance! I recommend to stay more than four days here, including weekends since there are markets...

Berlin, Group travel

Berlin was really beautiful. I always heard that the city is lame or boring but I had so much fun there, I traveled with one friend and it was very safe!! People are so collaborative and help a lot. However, honestly, I felt minor racism, but it was all amazing!

Nuremberg

I would say that Nuremberg is a safe city. Most criminal activities are drug consumption or dealing with drugs. Thats why the main train station is a bit suspicious. But there's a lot of security staff walking around. In the city I never had any issues. :)

Hermannsburg

Hermannsburg is safe for travelers. BUT it's very christian and kinda conservative. Although it's not the best idea to go outside at night. Because we have a little problem with drugs here. But going outside in the night isn't really dangerous. The people just talk stupid shut and ask if u also want some drugs.

Constance

Constance overall is super safe, especially going out for women by night is not a problem. You can walk through the oldtown and the other parts comfortably! Only be aware of bicycle thiefs as there are quite some 😅
