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.

Germany, Solo travel

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

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!

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!!

Hanover

I actually feel very safe in Hanover, but I also have to admit that I grew up in what many people would probably consider one of the rougher or less safe parts of the city. My neighbors were sex workers and drug addicts, so being around people like that was normal for me. I think that mainly taught me how to interact with all kinds of people and showed me that peaceful coexistence is possible, which is why I’m not particularly afraid in those situations. That said, I can understand why people...

Hermeskeil

It’s very safe during the day and barely anything happens, just stay away from the Afa area after the dark and stay to yourself in busses if there’s many men. Busses don’t really drive after 8pm but overall I recommend the action shop, rossmann and Lidl.

Nuremberg

Nuremberg as a city is pretty safe. Yet there are some areas you should be careful around, especially the main train station. Nuernbergs train station is considered to be one of the unsafest train stations in germany. There are many drunk people or people under drugs in general who can bd aggressive towards everyone so be careful

Neustadt an Der Weinstrasse

Neustadt offers different historical places. It's quite the quiet city but during the evening it gets more traffic. Lot's of cute cafes and shopping possibilities. You can walk around the city without any worries. Friendly people if you do need help.

My name is Anna and I'm 19. I just finished school and am now traveling for a bit before starting the next big chapter of my life. I already spent nine months in Ireland during my time in school and I fell in love with the country and its people. I'm vegan and I really love animals, so I do whatever I can to protect them. I have a dog (Paula) and love to play and cuddle with her. I also keep lots of plants in my house :)
