Solo travel

I didn’t feel safe. In Frankfurt there are many criminals, prostitutes and drug dealers especially near the airport, train stations and famous hotels. I was nearly got attacked by a stranger who was doing a strip dance in the middle of the street.

Family travel

I travelled to frankfurt for 3 days for a concert and met up with 4 of my friends from germany there! it felt safe having people who speak the language with me, and we enjoyed nice food at a korean restaurant and overall walked around most of the time! I stayed at a hostel with my uncle since I was a minor at that time, and the transport was very easy with germany’s public transportation!

Family travel

It was really fun. Though of course was visiting family there so they knew where to take me/what to show me. I was a kid at the time, and didn’t have to pay for anytning food wise thankfully. I remember being given 100 euro for a souvenir, and my cousins took me to a mall for shopping. Just a plain white hoodie with three bananas on it was 88 euros 😅 It’s been years since then, but that’s the thing I remember the most aside from the sky and strawberry picking I did with them.

Frankfurt often feels more unsafe than it actually is. At first glance, it can seem intimidating, especially around the main train station, where you might see drug users, open prostitution, and red-light buildings in that area. However, I’ve been in that neighborhood many times (even at night) and nothing has ever happened to me -the same goes for my friends. That said, it’s important to stay aware, trust your instincts, and keep an eye on your valuables. If you do feel uncomfortable, it’s best to avoid the main train station area at night. Of course, Frankfurt isn’t 100% safe, no big city...

Frankfurt has a very bad reputation, but is not at all unsafe. There is some areas around Hauptbahnhof and Konstablerwache where men might do catcalling but it's limited to that. Don't carry things open or leave your bags alone cause this is a big city and like everywhere else- pickpocketers are all around.

So far you are not walking alone at the Bahnhofsviertel everything is pretty safe. For sure you see strange people but as long as you talk and look at them you would be fine. I‘m often alone in Frankfurt and for now nothing happened

About me

Hey everyone ✨ My name is Melodi but you can call me Mel. I am originally from Germany, but I moved to England in 2022 for my bachelor's degree. That's why I usually switch between countries. During term time, I live in England, and during the vacation period, I am back home in Germany 😄 I am very extroverted and pretty much down for whatever. I’ve traveled to over 20 countries so far, and I like to think of myself as a traveler, not a tourist. This summer, I am planning to travel to the Balkans (specifically Bosnia, Montenegro, Kosovo, and North Macedonia). I’d love to find a travel buddy, so if anyone’s interested in joining me, just hit me up! Let’s travel the world together and make some good memories ✈️🤩 Also, I live in Frankfurt, Germany. If anyone needs a place to stay, I would love to host you.

Hi, i'm Vithu🌸 I'm 25 years old and I live in Germany. I love to travel and I'm always excited to meet people on my trips and spend time with them, hoping this will lead to lasting friendships. What I also like about traveling is discovering different cultures, exploring new cities, admiring the beautiful nature, but of course also enjoying the variety of food. I'm very friendly and reliable, and I love to laugh until my stomach hurts😅 I started solo-traveling this year and I absolutely love it. It helped me to discover a whole new side of myself.
