Is Hamburg Safe for Solo Female Travelers?

Family travel

I felt safe, i just had to watch out on the streets with clubs. I would recommend going to Kunsthalle museum and if you like going out then Reeperbahn. My restaurant recommendation is block house. I stayed at my sister’s so she drove me around but there is local bus and a train.

Family travel

We were in Hamburg. The city has many activities. Like take a boat trip. I was at the musical "Harry Potter and the cursed chıld". The city library is huge. In the basement, used/old books, audio books, films and games are sold at a reasonable price.

Solo travel

I felt most of the time safe. Around the trainstations in Hamburg it is not that safe. Especially at Hauptbahnhof. I liked the Bunker. There you can go up for free and have a beautiful view over the city. Additionally I was in "Naschcafé" which i can recommend. The food there is really good. Also "Falafelprinz" at Schanze. You can get there cheap Falafelwraps. If you like to go into a museum, you should try "Deichtorhallen" or "Kunst und Gewerbe". All in all, it was a really nice trip.

Solo travel

Discovering Hamburg for the first time. It is an atypical city, very interesting with several aspects. I really enjoyed walking along the river and taking the public boat that allows you to discover the city. The architecture of the city as well as its monuments and churches are magnificent. I recommend spending at least 2 days there and if you are lucky with beautiful sunshine. Concerning the food, you absolutely have to try a fish sandwich on the port. On the other hand, it is a city that can be dangerous for a girl alone. Especially the area next to the station.

Couple travel

Hamburg is safe, nice and beautiful! I loved to walk around in the summer evening without any problems or anyone bothering, the food is nice and there are many places to visit. My favorite places were the streets with Portuguese restaurants, specially the cafe Crystal, where I used to have my breakfast. I would definitely go again.

Solo travel

Hamburg is a beautiful city offering lots of cultural value. Beautiful churches are worth visiting. St. Michael's Church allows to see the city from above. Food is amazing as well as public transportation. I felt safe in Hamburg but I was not there till late

Solo travel

I have been to a solo travel to both berlin and Hamburg. From Gdansk in Poland, I took a flight to Hamburg Airport from there I took the train to the city hall it was easy and accessible however transport prices in Hamburg can be expensive comparing to other cities in Europe. I arrived to the city hall and it was AMAZING ! I loved everything about the city the buildings the landscapes, the river there , how good looking the people were, the food as well especially that they surve turkish food. I enjoyed my experience it was full of museums including the music museum which waa for free, u can also have a boat tour and sunbathe by the sea. I love Hamburg

Solo travel

Things to do: - Speicherstadt - Elbphilharmonie - Harbor - Planten un Blomen - Kunsthalle Safety: This is a fairly safe city, but apply normal precautions while traveling. Recommendations: Hamburg is worth a few days, great atmosphere and lots of things to do and see.

Solo travel

To do: - Walk down Eppendorfer Weg street - Tour the Television Tower - Relax in Stadtpark - Explore Planten un Blomen Security: I felt completely safe. Recommendations: Hamburg is a great place for drinking and partying.

All in all, Hamburg is a very safe place. However, as anywhere in the world, being a woman (or non-binary, transgender, just in general not-hetero-male person) it is possible to hearing some comments or being harrassed, especially by cis-men in the evenings or at night. So sometimes that feels a bit annoying or unsafe, but usually people around you are alert and step in or police will be there if anything major happens.

Around the Main Station it can get a bit creepy at night. But if you are with a Group or simply trust your gut feeling I would say you are good! Of course its always still important to stay careful and keep your eyes open as a solo female traveler:)
