Is Berlin Safe for Solo Female Travelers?

Solo travel

I love Berlin. It's my favorite city. There are museums and thrift stores everywhere. The atmosphere of the biergaten is super cool. I went there with my family, as a couple and solo, and each time, it was a great experience.

Solo travel

When I was in Berlin I felt safe, I meet so many good people who became my friends... It is really a big city so if don't have a bike , you will have to pay an average amount for public transport. It is a strange and astonishing city, don't miss it !

Solo travel

Berlin has beautiful parks and outdoor pools. I have also experienced the Balinese inspired sauna Vabali which was amazing. Biking in the parks when it’s dark felt unsafe, lots of drug dealers. Overall, the city is a mix of trashy charming places. It isn’t very well maintained nor cleaned, lots of trash on the ground.

Group travel

I stayed in the Sunflower Hostel very close to many clubs including Berghain. I felt safe in the dorm situation, despite the staff being disorganized and the lodgings not the cleanest. Walking around at night there were a surprising amount of catcallers, but no men that were specifically aggressive to me or my friends. The city isn’t the best lit, there are many dark streets. I felt safest walking around with others at night! That being said, people stay out clubbing until like 8 a.m., so there’s always people outside; it’s not desolate at night. A really great city for exploring queer culture with clubs, art, music. I really enjoyed exploring many cinemas. You can really eat cheap if you stick to little cafes and kiosks, but most everything is cash only, so I recommend bringing paper currency to an exchange because atms tend to have terrible exchange rates.

I feel save in Berlin I was visiting mostly museums and art galleries. Food in Berlin is delicious and people from all over the world are just fantastic. There are many parks and you can use the bike everywhere

Group travel

I was in Berlin for a project. I really like the Berlin big city and young energy. The cafe what do you fancy love is very good. I recommend visiting the opera house for music and visiting museum for some art. Definitely try berlin kebap, they taste goos and visit some cafe for relaxing afternoon chat with friends.

Group travel

We stayed at friends, which financially helps us a lot, the public transport is not that cheap as well as eating out, but on the other hand you can find really good streetfood. I feel quite safe, but I think it is as every bigger city, more dangerous – people in the streets might be addicted, which can cause some bad situations … but I do not have any

Solo travel

I attended the pride parade in Berlin with tree other female solo travelers. It was so much fun! The whole city turned into a party playground for the whole day. Love the vibes here. Also highly recommend travelers to check out Holzmarkt and Yaam when you’re in Berlin. There are art villages built by the local communities.

Solo travel

It’s many years ago I started to come to Berlin and I met 289 person via connection online to offline. In the end a lot of my friends moved to other places and thus now I have a lot of friends I met in Berlin in other cities. Berlin is beautiful and sexy! Life never rest in Berlin and all light on the whole days and nights.

Solo travel

berlin is a nice place to solo travel as a woman. I stayed at 2 different hostels (a&o and the Generator at Alexanderplatz) both were very comfortable and clean. I also met nice girls that stayed in the room with me. Safety is also a good point. I haven’t felt unsafe or uncomfortable at any situation, even going out at night and alone.

It really depends on where you are and what time of day it is, but overall it’s really really safe! Sure there are pickpockets so take care of your handbags and luggage. But overall there is always police on really crowded places like alexanderplatz and there is usually a lot of people always around who have civil courage and will help out if you’re being harassed or something.

I spent some time in Berlin and let's say that, like all big cities, it has its downsides. For sure, it's not very advisable to walk around in the evening, but anyway, if you are with more than one person, it's already better. However, it's not very calm even during the day.
