How safe is Bremen for female travelers?

Solo travel

I felt safe, Bremen has a lot of horse farms to offer, you can learn to ride and after lessons swim in the river that flows through the whole of Bremen, I think it's a great location for solo travel because there are many green pastures and warm people, you can make friends by going outside where people do different kind of sports, I recommend Wasserhorst in Bremen, was best.

It is fairly safe, the main train station is a spot where you have to be careful, but nothing ever happened to me. The rest is relatively safe especially in the crowded parts and trains. Be aware of your surroundings but don't worry to much and enjoy your stay!

It really depends on the district you’re in. Around the train station it’s not that safe being alone as a woman just like in most big towns. I live in Horn which is 15minutes from the train station and pretty safe there.

Bremen is generally a safe place to visit and get around in. There are some areas, like „Viertel“ where it can feel a little bit off, especially at night, but nothing should happen and nothing has ever happened to me.

Ok small city in Germany, kinda boring, a lot of drug addicts near the central rail way station. Overall it’s totally fine to travel here as a solo woman. Would be careful in public transport and rail way stations

Bremen feels quite save to me, but I'm a white cis woman so i can't speek for pocs or queer people. I've experienced catcalling but luckily nothing more. The crime rate is quite high compared to other german cities but only in some parts of the city. I think visiting bremen is not unsafe but men are unpredictable so...
