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.

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!!

Ottobeuren

Ottobeuren ist very safe, there are many tourists in the summer and you can be outside safely even during night. We often visit our friends and ride home alone after midnight. You barley meet anyone at night outside, its very calm here.

Hamburg

As Long as you do not take or deal drugs, you should be fine. Myb don’t go out drinking alone. Don’t start or involve yourself in fights if it’s not absolutely necessary. Overall Hamburg is pretty safe, but if you aren’t used to big city’s or a wild night life, then try to find someone to navigate you through it. (I’m always open for a little city tour and drink at the schanze :))

Düsseldorf

I only feel unsafe around the Hauptbahnhof area, otherwise, it seems safe to me. While I don't live in the city itself but to an area close to it, i am often visiting Düsseldorf (even including late nights). Feel overall safe.

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 :)

About me

Just a girl in Berlin with the dream of seeing beauty, be it in nature, in people or in their art. I recently moved to Berlin and started a life from scratch for the second time. I am currently doing my PhD, and balancing it with so many side quests (this girl got too many interests hahah)! I am a big fan of girlhood and am very much interested in meeting people, hearing their stories, sharing mine and making friends along the way. 🩷
