I felt pretty safe in Berlin wandering around by myself, I was pretty tired the first day so I would definitely recommend taking it easy if you had an early morning. The people I got to meet were very friendly, there was a man who had approached me to ask for my number and when I told him I had a boyfriend he was very respectful and wished me a good day.
Posted: September 20, 2025Actually I lived there for three months and it was the best experience for me especially like I love nightlife and the city and if you're someone who likes to party or extrovert you will love the city. The city is also pretty much safe like you can roam around alone at night and transportation connections are nice. You can't get bored in that city you can have foods are nice you can do the shopping like for clothes and everything, I will recommend to go Berlin

Felt very safe, was easy to navigate even though the streets were busy. Locals are very helpful with directions and most speak some English. The attractions can center around the Holocaust and WW2 history a lot, which makes sense given the place’s past. I enjoyed all the meats, but food choices are generally quite international.
Posted: August 26, 2025Experienced: August, 2025Went to Berlin with a couple of friends. I was really looking forward to partying. We went to a few places and I can confirm it is as good as people say. The only things I would point out is that most clubs are not really that close to each other (can be easily solved thanks to the good public transport). I also ,in my personal experience, I felt pretty safe. There was only one guy we encountered who was kind of a creep and even then some other guys told him to back off. The thing is that there's much more men partying compared to the amount of women which isn't a bad thing per se but I'm accustomed to a more 50-50 night scene in my country.

My first time in Berlin was a solo trip. At first I was pretty nervous, but this city turned out to be one of my favourite places I've ever been to. It's really safe, public transport is amazing, and people are really nice and helpful when needed.

I would say: it definitely depends on the district you’re at. Our city is such a huge one. Therefore we have different regions, that are more or less safe. I usually feel safe - even if I’m walking home alone after partying. But still: we’re girls. Many drunk man are on subway and train stations in regions, where the party-szene is going on. Most Berlin people would warn you about Neukölln or Reinickendorf. Usually you are not alone in trains, subways and we have some security people in trains. It helps feeling more safe.
