Berlin, Solo travel
I felt safe during my time and I currently live and study here, but I wouldn’t recommend Berlin to anyone who isn’t really big on clubbing and partying because otherwise it’s a boring city and the weather doesn’t help

This little city was really charming. I really liked the market and the heart warming cakes. I’ve been welcomed freely by a woman thanks to “Couchsurfing” who was used to travel alone too. I was surprised by her big heart. We talked a lot that night, she gave me confidence with only few words. She prepared me food in advance and offered me a lunch for the next day (even if I was leaving this exact day). She even payed the drink… her kindness was melting my heart. I asked her why did she do all those things for me, and she answered “If only you could know what people gave to me, I have to return the favour.”

It does feel safe. And berlin is not as expensive as I thought, much and more is affordable here and the quality at which food gets sold is very much richer than the price. Overall experience has been excellent.

Generally Cologne was really safe, I liked it so much first time as Solo traveler, so I decided to go there second time with my family and show them around, it was beautiful too, and I was surprised to hear turkish people everywhere lol, more than german

Especially during Oktoberfest, it was very fun, very warm and people are really friendly. For stay, I stayed in a&a hostel, that's very shitty, they charge you for towel, water etc. I won't recommend that. For Food, prefer going to bars with local

As a veiled Muslim woman I don't feel unsafe walking alone in the middle of the night. There might still be places I'd avoid just because they're too dark, but there's hardly any reports of random violence against women. Most of the times if something happens, the victim knew the predator... Can't speak about going clubbing and what happens there because I don't do it.

During the day very safe, in the countryside also at night. Ar heidenheim itself you will sometimes see some sketchy people but during the day it's a hundred percent safe. At night I have never been there. Considering robbery etc. It is very safe (e.. g. I once forgot my phone in a story on some shelf and it was still there after two hours)

I grew up in this small town. The economy is very stable, and everyone has a job, so there’s really no need for crime. The only places where you might run into drunk men or odd people are the train stations. The parks are safe too, though they could use a bit more lighting at night.

I usually feel safe here as a woman, even at night. Occasionally you'll see drunk or shady people around Bohlweg, Schloss or at the main station, but I wouldn't call it a general threat. It's definitely safe enough for female solo travelers.

It is very quiet, even at night there aren't many people around and there are no homeless people or people using drugs. The center is well lit and there are taxis with the vrn flexline app, which is very good and safe.
