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...

Frankfurt

Frankfurt is a great city with decent nightlife. But the best part will always be the dozens of museums, the three big theaters and the constant cultural events. It is full of young people due to being a university city. Be mindful of the center especially the Zeil being very crowded especially on the weekends.

Potsdam

Never felt unsafe in Potsdam, sometimes I am careful with being openly queer and leftist in some places, otherwise it's totally safe to walk around at night as a woman! Be careful with "date rape drugs" when you go partying!

Hamburg

Be careful partying during the night. Near the Reeperbahn there is a lot of crime and it's not safe for solo traveling women getting drunk there alone. During the day the whole city is safe for all of us :)

Leipzig

I'd say it's pretty safe to travel around Leipzig. In the downtown area, there are always people around, so it's quite safe, also alone. With public transport, it's easy to get around. Going by car is also possible, but traffic can get pretty bad. Other than that, going by bike is also nice and definitely doable.

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! 🌎💓
