How safe is Germany for solo female travelers?

🇩🇪 Germany — my home base so far 🤍 Germany has been my home base for the past seven months, since I moved here from South Africa to spend my gap year as an au pair. I haven’t had the chance to explore nearly as much of the country as I’d like because most of my time is spent working, so this is definitely more of a “my life in Germany so far” post than a Germany travel guide! 😂 I’m currently based near Mainz, and most of my exploring has been around Mainz, Frankfurt, Heidelberg and the...

HIDDEN GEM. Not touristy and so beautifull (the houses omg), the experience was more intense bcs of that. I was there when Zunftmarkt was, so nice and magical people were so friendly. Best random decision ever <3

Berlin, Family travel
My mom and I went to Berlin for a few days, stayed in a cheap hostel and rode the underground train into the city everyday. This was a great opportunity to save some money. In Berlin we walked around seeing all the sights. We had a great time together!

I absolutely loved this gorgeous city! Public transport worked perfectly, it was super clean and it was easy to move around. The only thing I didn't like about Munich was the amount of harassment I experienced from men. I was even followed once. It’s a beautiful city and totally worth it, but be careful (as you would anywhere) if you go on your own!

I went to Germany on a school trip. We had a collaboration with a german school, and it was really interesting. We lived in Schwetzingen, went to the John Deere factory and did some shopping in Mannheim, as well as explored/shopped and went to the Kulturbraueri in Heidelberg.

This year i traveled to hamburg with my whole class🙏 Def one of the beat experiences i‘ve had. it was so much fun and we saw a bunch if stuff (especially in the redlight district) Our original stay was weißenhäuser strand, which was an incredible cool „town“ idk if you can call it that. We drank too much one night and the security came knocking on our door (i was asleep) I would definitely do it again especially in a large group. Looking forward to visiting hamburg again (this year maybe...

This was my first trip to Munich, and although it was a short one, I really enjoyed it. We mostly explored the beautiful old town, wandered through the city center, and took in the atmosphere. My favorite spot was definitely the Eisbach. It was the perfect place to cool off in the hot weather, even though the water was incredibly cold! I didn’t get to see everything this time, but it definitely made me want to come back and explore more.

Black Forest, Group travel
With a fellow travel lady, I went backpacking through the Black Forest. We walked a total of 160kms from Forbach to the Feldberg. We spent the nights either in trekking camps, in campsites or on farms. The landscapes were beautiful, we came across many lakes such as Herrenwiesensee, Titisee and Mathisleweiher (my favourite!). Overall, we felt very safe and met lots of lovely, mostly elderly people encouraging us to finish this eight day hike. If you like spending time outdoors, I highly...

Perfect for people seeing something intense and special experience. Most attractive city in Germany absolutely but as a solo traveler, It would be better to take care yourself on nighttime especially.

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

Frankfurt
Its very safe. Only be careful with the area around the main train station specially during the night. But in general is a very safe city. You just have to be careful in the night, close to the main train station and the city center

Super safe city . I’m commuting via bike and I never felt unsafe( not at night or day). In the city center on the weekends you will have the typically weekend men / mixed groups-who where sometimes drunk.

Erfurt is really unsafe, because of all the drugs and drugdealers around the Main spots. Also the rate of Faschism is really high. So by daylight it’s fine, but I’m not that comfortable at night.l, with my colored hair😬

I feel quite safe in Berlin, mostly in Prenzlauer Berg or Mitte. But stuff can happen there everywhere. There have been a few anti queer attacks recently. Also Nazis are a problem in Germany in general. But overall it's not too bad, especially during the day and when you're in a group.

Very safe during the day and evening, only at night i would not go alone in some areas with drug problems. Anyway easy to avoid or passing through with the tram, with is very safe. Also there always nice people to help you, especially at the tram.

Salem is very safe. It is located in a very wealthy area in south Germany. The crime rate is very low. You can travel alone, even at night without feeling unsafe. In general it is a very safe area.

About me
Hi, I’m Angélique from Karlsruhe, Germany. 😊 I’m a funeral director, a job that might sound unusual, but one that I truly love. I’m an open-minded, warm and straightforward person with a good sense of humor. I love sports and being active, traveling, discovering new places, good food, spontaneous little adventures – and especially the sea. Unfortunately, Karlsruhe is pretty far from the ocean, so I guess I just have to travel. 😄🌊 I’d also really love to discover more of Northern Europe. Sweden, Finland and Denmark are high on my list, and I thought Travel Ladies might be a great way to start exploring them. And then… let’s see where the journey takes me. ✈️ I live with my 18-year-old son and our dog Lucky, who is very much part of the family. 🐾 I’d love to connect with women from different countries, travel together, visit each other or simply share some good moments along the way. If I’m hosting, I can currently offer a couch in my bedroom for one female traveler. It’s a shared space rather than a private room, and of course I’ll always be upfront about that. 😊

I'm an ambivert so I tend to be really chatty at the right time with right companions. I like reading Sci-fi novels. My hobbies are drawing, claying, puzzling and most of the time reading. I love to take a stroll in new cities and lost myself occasionally. I am a curious person who has a big appetite about almost everything in our world. Like to meet new people and learn their perspective about different things.
