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!!

Nuremberg

Overall very safe, near the train station and Plärrer you will find some weird people but they are usually not really dangerous just annoying. In and around the train station there is a pretty high police presence so you'll be safe. The city centre is busy day and evening especially on weekends and events, but i havent had any bad experience in the crowds, so only the "usual" stuff avoid tiny dark roads at night/alone and that😂

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.

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.

About me

I am an international student in Marburg,Germany. When I have time, I like to explore new sights, usually on weekends because weekdays I'm at Uni and then in library busy studying. 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.

About me

Hi! I'm Lotti from Berlin, 22 y. o. and want to save our beautiful world from climate change. I love travelling, solo or with others. Money is tight and therefore I'm constantly looking for options to travel without having all the costs. This app seems like a wonderful opportunity to connect meeting new inspiring women and getting to know new places. Sometimes I'm traveling for uni or work and if you host me you'll contribute to my environmentalist work. Thank you! 🌎💓
