I would definitely recommend Berlin. The a and o hostel at Berlin Mitte is good located, cheap and offers just woman rooms. I felt really safe there and had a lot of fun. Great bars, clubs and food sport around.

Berlin is amazing, such a fun and friendly place for solo travel. I loved the Kreuzberg area and the eastern parts. The subway system is cheap and very efficient and you can easily explore much of the city. It has a great arts scene and is very open-minded with lots of history.

So I just did Berlin for 3 nights and out of the few European city solo trips I’ve done (Dublin, Barcelona, Porto, Lisbon), I felt the absolute safest there. I loved how connected the city was by public transport, I felt safe walking back to my hostel after a night out, etc. Walked around the whole city, both day and night, and didn’t get harassed once. I even did a night out on my own for the first time - scary as hell but so fun. I stayed at St Christopher's Inn hostel - personally, I found it quite basic for the price I paid (compared to other hostels I’ve been to in other cities) but the location was perfect and overall it wasn’t bad.

I had a blast in Berlin - it quickly became one of my favorite cities in the world. I spent 2 days there and cannot wait to go back. I cannot remember everything I did - I literally walked around and tried to see everything I could. The Berlin Wall, Reichstag Building, Berliner Fernsehturm, etc.

Had a great visit with lots of walking around, shopping and eating. Great cafes and restaurants. Friendly people. However the people workings super markets tend to be a bit stressed which made me stressed.

Crazy wild nights. More enjoyable with the company of friends, do not recommend so much for a solo trip. The transport is avaliable almost 24/7. When going to famous techno clubs, be ready to spend several hours on the waiting line (2 to 4hrs). Lots of expats in the city, so you can manage to go around the city with English, but couldn't hurt to know some basic questions and expressions in german.

Best place for techno! Great underground music and art scene, historic architecture, crazy and fun people, diverse cultures. Really opened my eyes to a new world full of expression and freedom. Highly recommend!

Berlin was an amazing city to visit if you are a big history nerd or want to experience a multitude of cultures and people. The food was pretty standard for a European city, the people were friendly and quick to help if you were stuck with any german translations

Berlin is very safe. I traveled solo, walked around late at night, and went everywhere, with no problems at all.

I’ve been to Berlin a few times and always felt safe including walking at night. A lovely walkable city. So much to see and do.

Berlin is a great city to explore! There is always something to do, even at night. Have a look at Eventbrite to find something fun to do every evening! You are always able to go anywhere in the city, trains, buses etc operate day and night.

I‘m offering workshops in yoga and meditation and still learning a lot when Í’m taking part in other workshops. I‘m also doing a lot of arts: making sculptures, painting, sketching, also doing wall-paintings (in hostels and retreats). While traveling It feels like I‘m getting in my whole power and self-awareness. So I try to mix my loves and wishes.
