Is Berlin Safe for Solo Female Travelers?

Solo travel

i’ve often been to berlin and it’s one of the most interesting cities ever! there are often free concerts and many other free activities to do. the public transport is in compression to other german cities pretty good. also, the markets are worth a visit!

Solo travel

So i was for a week in Berlin and lived at a friends house. We did many things together but i also did some alone. In the night i felt safe alone as long i was at places where many people were. At daytime there are many beautiful Parcs but i wouldnt recommend it in the night...

Group travel

I love Berlin and all its vibe, we were a group of 3 girls and we had no problems at any time regarding insecurity Maybe at night I wouldn't go back alone, we went to KitKat and the atmosphere was great and totally liberal and safe. I will repeat the trip to Berlin in the summer because I fell in love with this city.

My friend and I did a 5 day trip to Berlin to see Sabrina Carpenter and here’s how our experience of the city was! What we did: Activities: Berlin Zoo, Dungeon Sights: Bradenburg Gate, Reichstag Building, Holocaust Memorial, Checkpoint Charlie, Berlin Dom, Museum Island, Berlin Wall, East Side Gallery, RAW-Gelände ⭐️ Recommendations: + We really liked all the places I just listed! + Museum Island was so pretty, I could have soent all day just walking around the area and all the gorgeous buildings! A picnic in sunset would be beautiful there + The Zoo was super nice, especially to my friend who had never bene to one! - RAW-Gelände seemed cooler on TikTok, but might be that we just visited at a bad time! 🛏️ Accommodation: We stayed at the a&o Hostel Mitte, which was rather good for the price we paid! The location was quite nice, between city centre and East Side Gallery, just a 10min walk away from Ostbahnhof station. The hostel was huge and had a lot of school kids so was a bit noisy at times and not perhaps on the cleanest side - but not gonna complain for the 13€/night we paid! 🚗 Getting around: During the 5 days that we stayed, there was a public transport strike for 2 days so we had to take Ubers more than we would have wanted to! The oublic transportation seemed really good otherwise, and getting tickets from the BVG app was easy. We took the day ticket (24 Stunden) twice, and it was 12,30€ so jot too bad at all! Ubers were roughly 10-12€ for the short rides we took. Also used the scooters at some point, big recommendation for them too! 💸 Budget: In total I spent around 300€ so roughly 60€/day, including accommodation, transportation, food, sights and shopping. Accommodation: 13€/night in a hostel Public transport: roughly 2-20€ day Food: 15-35€/day Activities: 40€ total (excluding the concert lol) 🚨Safety: We both felt quite safe even walking at night. Our hostel was located near KitKat and Tresot which was supposed to be sketchier area (at least according to the hostel reviews lol) but we didn’t feel unsafe. Overall tips: • Carry some cash with you as some stores and restaurants might mot accept card payments! • If you are planning on going to museums or doing activities etc, book in advance! You might save money, and some places are booked out fast! We for example weren’t able to go in the Reichstag Building without booking days in advance. • Take pics in the Photoautomats! The city has photobooths everywhere, definitely get some photos as a memory. We paid 3-5€ for a set of 4 pics :)

Berlin was my favorite city to travel to. It was an educational trip, although I plan on going back to Berlin for a more local experience. Everything I visited was pure gold. The Art museum is stunning and Architecture in Berlin is just phenomenal. It's just like walking through a mix of modernity and history. It's a city that really speaks for itself. There isn't much nightlife at night during the week, so you always have to search for an open pub or a disco. I stayed 5 nights at "Meinigen Hotel" which is not only an hotel but also a hostel (I think there's more than one Meinigen Hotel but mine was just next to the Berlin Wall). The prices were average and sometimes we moved using the Metro. I recommend trying food specialties and exploring the historical side of the city with a guided tour or being accompanied by a local. Overall safety was just a 10/10 until 1am (i didn't really experience being outside in the late night hours) and I didn't even feel unsafe for a single moment in Berlin. The only weird things that really caught my eye's attention were people drinking early in the morning (like 8am) , a lot of beer and vodka bottles in the street and along the sidewalks and drunk people sleeping on benches in the morning or in the afternoon

Solo travel

I recommend the Kreuzberg area for nice food and night pubs. In general I noticed that prices have become more expensive, but this probably affects all Europe in general. I have been in different spots just for photographic purposes (architecture - ubahn stations etc).

Group travel

I went to Berlin with my friends and visited clubs there. I also tried some really good food. The food is cheap if you're earning in euros, but otherwise, it can be expensive. The weather is the usual cold German weather. Overall I’d recommend everyone to visit Berlin.

Solo travel

It was my first solo travel and it was good . It had a good solo travel community and hostels were good place to start. Went for walking tours and astonished by the history of Berlin, the history is amazing and a lot. Lot of museums to visit and the night life is big

Couple travel

Berlin recommendations: - jüdisches Museum, very interesting - try the vegan food! - walk along the berlin wall - Tempelhofer Feld is very very pretty in the summer - Humana is a very good place for second hand shopping!

Berlin is fun! Its up to what you travel preferences are. Of course if you are up for night life then its the best place. When it comes to food or just experincing the german culture, i would recommend other smaller cities! Its also not the safest place for female travellers, just the atmosphere in the city especially evening hours and in the city centre is just creep!

Safety varies a lot, depending on the district. WPOC may encounter more racially motivated attacks in the east of Berlin (Hohenschönhausen, Marzahn, Lichtenberg). Within the Ring you should be fine. Avoid walking alone at night in districts with a busy nightlife or places like Görlitzer Park which are known to be popular dealing spots. Remember that there are panic buttons in each subway station. Berlin is huge and very overpopulated, so you will see lots of different people behaving erratically. Don‘t interact with them and avoid eye contact and you will be just fine. :)

Berlin is very safe in my opinion. The only tip I would give is: don’t go home alone after clubbing. Otherwise, I feel very safe within the Berlin ring, and nothing bad has ever happened to me or my friends.
