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...

Group travel

I traveled with a bunch of female friends. In our group I always felt safe, because I had people around me. If I were travelling alone I would have probably not gone out late, because Dresen still is a big city. We stayed at the AO Hostel. It’s very recommended. Cheap, nice rooms, good breakfast even and close to the city Center. But I’m sure staying at a hostel in Neustadt is even more of an experience. When visiting Dresden you definitely have to check out Neustadt for bar hopping....

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.
