Is Freiburg im Breisgau safe for solo female travelers?

Solo travel

This little city was really charming. I really liked the market and the heart warming cakes. I’ve been welcomed freely by a woman thanks to “Couchsurfing” who was used to travel alone too. I was surprised by her big heart. We talked a lot that night, she gave me confidence with only few words. She prepared me food in advance and offered me a lunch for the next day (even if I was leaving this exact day). She even payed the drink… her kindness was melting my heart. I asked her why did she do all those things for me, and she answered “If only you could know what people gave to me, I have to return the favour.”

I felt very welcomed by the sister that hosted me, that became a friend. I loved the forest all around and that is very accessible with public transportation. I really had great time. The market around the cathedral is lovely and you can find local interesting products. There is awareness about gluten free needs in most places I have had food and I found people lovely, relaxed and friendly.

One of the safest cuties in Germany. Very friendly and welcoming . Most young people can speak other languages including English and French. In summer we have the best weather. Nature surrounds the city.

I’ve been living there for more than eight years, and I usually feel very safe during daytime and at night it’s pretty easy as well. You can rent bikes which i prefer during nighttime for transport, but taking the tram should be alright as well.

Freiburg im Breisgau, located in the South of Germany, is generally a very safe city. during the day, I feel safe walking everywhere, during night it's perfectly possible to walk home alone, if you stick to the streets with light (almost every street has street lights)
