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!

Stadtlohn

Stadtlohn is a small city, so there's not really anything going on there. I grew up there and in that time nothing big or concerning happend. Stadtlohn isn't a tourist destination. The only ones visiting are from the area and nearly never from far away.

Dresden

It absolutely depends on the area. I don’t like to walk around Neustadt alone at night. Also Tharandter Straße is creepy at night. I’d say during the day it’s fine. There are enough people around, especially in the touristic places.

Dortmund

Dortmund it’s really safe, very quiet and peaceful, it can be a little be dangerous in the central station at night, a lot of homeless, also can be a little bit dangerous when there’s a BVB Game because there’s a lot of drunk people (that’s what I see in the news), but I don’t have any safety problems here, I think it’s only that I would say
