Is Berlin safe for solo female travelers?

Berlin is generally safe for solo female travelers. Violent crime is rare, locals are usually welcoming, and physical harassment is low. Regardless, it's important to remain vigilant, especially after dark. There is a good police presence and public transportation is usually safe at all times. However, some neighborhoods are considered less safe than others. Like in any other city, use common sense and take standard precautions like staying in well-lit areas, not disclosing you're traveling alone to strangers, and being wary if you consume alcohol.

I spent three days in Berlin and, through this app, I even met a wonderful person who showed me around. We also visited Spreewald, an hour from Berlin, which made the trip even more special. Overall, it was an unforgettable experience: Berlin is vibrant, full of life, and especially in summer. I can truly recommend Highswing to anyone visiting Berlin and go to Spreewald if u like nature — it made the whole experience even more special. ✨

It was my second time in the city already. I think is such a good place to solo travelers. People don't care about what you're doing at all. But is a place where you don't need to feel unsafe. Live is just individualist and you can take your time everywhere. The sensation is incredible if you want to plan a chill trip.

I felt safe during my time and I currently live and study here, but I wouldn’t recommend Berlin to anyone who isn’t really big on clubbing and partying because otherwise it’s a boring city and the weather doesn’t help

It’s pretty safe, but there’s a lot of pickpocketing in touristy areas and at night there are some questionable people around in some parts of Berlin. So at night being outside alone isn’t always the best idea bit overall you shouldn’t worry if you take the normal safety measures.

Berlin is quite safe during the day and night. If you dont comment or stare at anyone, no one bothers you. Public transport is also very safe even at night. I have traveled alone late night and its not a problem.

Berlin is a relatively safe city if you walk in the right neighborhoods and not at night, but that all comes with experience. People are quite friendly, although the city does have a major homeless problem.
