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 !
Posted: August 25, 2024Berlin 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.
Posted: August 20, 2024I 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.

I feel save in Berlin I was visiting mostly museums and art galleries. Food in Berlin is delicious and people from all over the world are just fantastic. There are many parks and you can use the bike everywhere
Posted: August 5, 2024Experienced: June, 2024I was in Berlin for a project. I really like the Berlin big city and young energy. The cafe what do you fancy love is very good. I recommend visiting the opera house for music and visiting museum for some art. Definitely try berlin kebap, they taste goos and visit some cafe for relaxing afternoon chat with friends.
Posted: August 1, 2024We stayed at friends, which financially helps us a lot, the public transport is not that cheap as well as eating out, but on the other hand you can find really good streetfood. I feel quite safe, but I think it is as every bigger city, more dangerous – people in the streets might be addicted, which can cause some bad situations … but I do not have any
Posted: July 31, 2024I attended the pride parade in Berlin with tree other female solo travelers. It was so much fun! The whole city turned into a party playground for the whole day. Love the vibes here. Also highly recommend travelers to check out Holzmarkt and Yaam when you’re in Berlin. There are art villages built by the local communities.
Posted: July 30, 2024Experienced: July, 2024It’s many years ago I started to come to Berlin and I met 289 person via connection online to offline. In the end a lot of my friends moved to other places and thus now I have a lot of friends I met in Berlin in other cities. Berlin is beautiful and sexy! Life never rest in Berlin and all light on the whole days and nights.

berlin is a nice place to solo travel as a woman. I stayed at 2 different hostels (a&o and the Generator at Alexanderplatz) both were very comfortable and clean. I also met nice girls that stayed in the room with me. Safety is also a good point. I haven’t felt unsafe or uncomfortable at any situation, even going out at night and alone.
Posted: July 27, 2024Berlin is incredibly diverse. Depending on the neighborhood, one should be cautious in the evenings/nights, but otherwise, it’s really great if you like big cities. What’s absolutely recommended: trying out different foods! There are so many great restaurants, cafés, and other food shops ☺️ Berlin is definitely worth a trip!

Pretty safe! People just mind their own business and don’t care about others! You maybe want to avoid some places in the center but it’s definitely a good place and I feel safe from the first minute I got here
Posted: October 3, 2024Although some areas might not feel safe, they are more safe than they seem to. Just in some areas in the public transport especially at night it can be not comfortable let's say. But it's not dangerous. It's all really depends on the neighborhood you are in.

I am a happy little girl in an old body ;-)... no , joking. I love travelling, but also being in my cosy apartment. I love singing and dancing, but also reading books and hiking. I am a logical thinking technical engineer, but also a dreamer. So, what should i say... just try to connect ;-)) if I have got time maybe we see us and I can host you.

A curious Greek woman living in Berlin already for 5 years and loving it here! Berlin has shown me multiculturalism as well as how similar we, beautiful human beings, are. I keep on learning in these two aspects while traveling. Besides my big interest in discovering different places and meeting new people, I' m a linguist and a language teacher. I practice yoga and meditation, I enjoy moving around the city on my bike in summer and I like having always something new to discover. I love being in nature, hiking in green forests, spending time by the sea, camping at the beach, visiting museums (especially with paintings) and trying local food where I am. I appreciate feminine energy and solidarity among women and wish to enhance this part in my life.
