Is Berlin Safe for Solo Female Travelers?

Group travel

I would say since i travelled with a friend so i had the advantage of not being at a disadvantageous position with regards to safety as compared to a solo traveler. Like every big city there are certain areas that are safer than others. Some places around Alexanderplatz felt a little sketchy after dark but otherwise it was okay.

Couple travel

We went specifically for a concert with Berliner philharmonie and it was great! Absolutely amazing musicians! We stayed at a place called easyhotel and it was actually really nice! I recommend buying things from Aldi if you are with a tight budget! We also checked the zoo and did some sightseeing. It was nice but the public transport was a bit confusing… I didn’t feel safe being by my self in the evening but I didn’t actually feel threatened by anybody. You should visit!

Group travel

I recommend you to visit different food spots for every meal every day. The food was amazing! There is a lot of different and international option. You don‘t have to visit the most popular and expensive ones with people lining up outside, even the small bakeries/cafes are very good!

I went to Berlin for 3 says with 2 friends and I felt very safe. We went to see christmas market and its beeeautiful! I recommend go on december because of that and try the hot wine (5€ just the drink, 10€ if u want to keep the CUP) pls. We paid 5€ to entry. The city is so clean, and quiet (too quite tho). You have a lot of things to see from holocausto and its heavy stuff. I tried a lot of different beers and the hot dog in german is unbeliaveable. 3 days its more than enough!

Solo travel

I felt safe because a lot of people are open-minded, and in such a big city, you don't feel alone. The great thing is that there are all kinds of people. I really love going to Berlin Mitte in the spring and summer. It's such a great place for shopping for good clothes, eating yummy food, and the vibe is refreshing and nice.

Solo travel

I love Berlin! I felt safe and sound. Night life was amazing, the hostel and hosts were great. Tresor techno club was very tourist friendly. 22 euro for 8 h of dance. Food was great! I will definitely visit again 😊

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.

Berlin is a city where it really depends on the district you are currently at how safe you’ll feel (especially as a woman). Personally I feel Save in the south-west, where I am living, but there are other places too, where I do think about actually going there at night.

During the day ok. But in the night I am more aware and scared. Sometimes there are drunk, drugged people - just keep big distance. Take care of yourself. But all in all I am comfortable here in Berlin
