Is Cologne Safe for Solo Female Travelers?

Solo travel

I'm currently doing an Erasmus there. There's a lot of places to visit. Great art galleries. The people there are especially very nice, I met a lot of people and now great friends. As a queer person you will be very welcomed

Solo travel

I've been there many times, yet everytime I was there and id look at the Dome, it was breathtaking! It's clean, modestly safe, and during Christmas period it fills with cute markets! Id advice you to go there during those colder times.

Generally Cologne was really safe, I liked it so much first time as Solo traveler, so I decided to go there second time with my family and show them around, it was beautiful too, and I was surprised to hear turkish people everywhere lol, more than german

Group travel

Cologne is a wonderful city with a lot to explore especially the cathedral. It is also quite interesting during carnival season. It feels relatively safe although you should avoid places like chorweiler.

Id say Cologne is safe overall. But it has its spots like every other cities does too, that I would try to avoid alone at night. Spots where I wouldn’t want to walk alone at night as a woman would be: -Ebertplatz!!! -Wiener Platz (Mülheim in General) -Kalk -Zülpicher Platz -around the Cathedral is a pickpocket hotspot due to the many tourist

I feel safe as a woman walking alone at night. As safe as a woman can feel with men being around them generally. Most of the people in Cologne are very friendly. ………………………………………………………………………………………………..

I feel like Cologne is generally pretty safe but there are areas where you’ll be approached by Homeless people especially in the city centre but I have never experienced them being aggressive. They will usually just walk away

In Cologne you won't be stealed from. There's a lot of homeless people asking you money and it's easy to be catcalled. Overall nothing to dangerous but I'm still cautious when going outside at night.
