Is Berlin Safe for Solo Female Travelers?

Group travel

Went 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.

Solo travel

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.

Solo travel

I solo traveled to Berlin at the end of July and I stayed at EastSeven Hostel. Overall, the city is really great and I loved the vibe. The people are cool and you can see that people are free with the way they dress and how they express themselves. There is a lot of street arts and many activities to do. There is also quite an active night life in this city with its many nightclubs. I didn't try them but I've heard from other travellers that the dress code can be quite strict depending on the nightclub you want to go to. The crazier the outfit, the better. Regarding the safety, I felt very safe. No one bothered me when I was walking or sitting alone somewhere. No catcalling too. Getting a ticket for public transportation is a bit confusing tho. It's better to install an app and when you want to purchase a ticket, you need to specify the starting point.

Family travel

I love Berlin, it’s my favorite city :) In daytime I felt safe going outside on my own. In nighttime I stayed in crowded places with friends. When you respects the local culture and values people tend to be much more talkative and happy to meet you :) Besides that, I recommend to go to Berlin to live, not to consume (stores etc) and visit hotspots. Berlin has a much bigger story than the trendy places offer. This is actually applicable to almost any city :)

Group travel

I went to Berlin with my female friends. We felt safe throughout our trip - the only uneasy encounter we had was on Alexanderplatz at 9 p.m. Some men started staring as us and were coming closer every minute as we sat on a bench and ate pizza. But they didn't follow us after we left. I recommend going on a free walking tour - you can find many of them online. I learnt a lot about Berlin, thanks to that. Our trip was on budget, but I don't see Berlin as a very expensive city - it's as expensive as a typical European capital. We stayed at a hostel, Generator Berlin Alexanderplatz, and we loved it! We chose a dorm for four guests, so we had a private room just for us. We didn't use public transport almost at all as it was more expensive than taking a Bolt or an Uber and splitting the costs. We spent almost 3 days in the city, we visited the Jewish Museum, remains of the Berlin wall, the Museum Island and went to the top of the TV Tower. I'd say Berlin is a perfect destination for a city break!

Mainly it's really safe like everywhere in Europe. As a women all by yourself you will maybe have some strange people looking at you differently but I never experienced anything bad. Even walking alone in the night on lonely Streets.
