Solo travel

a lot of nice restaurants and stunning view at elbe river. there's not as much of a problem with sexual assault and feeling of unsafety as you would expect. only at night or in the outer skirts it might be a little scary at times. people tend to be a little cold/neutral, and watch out if you're a woman of colour, since the people sometimes tend to be annoyed or even openly racist when you speak foreign languages (e.g. arabic). otherwise still a very beautiful city with great infrastructure and...

Solo travel

ok, dresden is quite an expensive city but in a week I was able to spend about 100€ (maybe it's cheap for you), there are a lot of youth events where different freaks gather (I advise you to go to the park in Neustadt!!) also if you are interested be sure to go to the open space, these guys sometimes organize cool meetings and be sure to TRY THEIR SHAWARMA. the downsides are the rather expensive city transport and the constant problems with trains (definitely buy tickets on Flixtrain!! they are...

Solo travel

I visited Dresden solo for 3 days and felt super safe the entirety of my trip although I was mostly out during daylight. I took the train in and used public transportation to get around which was easy and got me everywhere I needed to. I stayed at Lollis Homestay, a cozy hostel in the Neustadt neighborhood close to plenty of bars and restaurants. The Frauenkirche church in the city center is breathtaking inside and a must see. The Molkerei Pfund dairy shop was so crowded but beautiful and...

Solo travel

Really nice if small city, lots to do and beautiful to walk around. Felt very safe, lots of good veggie food options too. I stayed in Lollis home stay hostel with was very social, would recommend for solo travellers!

Beside the night you can stay everywhere. In my opinion, it is most common for the area "Neustadt" 🍻🍾🚨for being loud and having an alcoholic scene. By the way, the "large garden" (= Großer Garten) is a really great place to unwind. ☀️

It absolutely depends on the area. I don’t like to walk around Neustadt alone at night. Also Tharandter Straße is creepy at night. I’d say during the day it’s fine. There are enough people around, especially in the touristic places. 

Dresdens safety is moderate. It is safe to walk around during the day. During the night it's better to avoid hotspots such as the main station. The Neustadt is area mist likely to go out with many bars. Alaunstraße or the corner of Louisenstraße and Görlitzer Straße might get very annoying during the night. When going to clubs you might go to Industriegelände, a former industrial area. Most clubs have an awareness concept. I would not recommend to go to student clubs or places that are not...

Dresden is a really safe city. In the night you just have to be aware of your surroundings when you are alone especially as queer or punk looking person. It shouldn't be a problem at all in Neustadt, Pieschen, Hechtviertel. In Neustadt it is better to go around the Alaun Park at night and not through it.
