I went to visit a friend and it was so funny. We cooked together, went to eat on the beach and went to the amusement park. The weather was kinda rainy but I enjoyed it a lot and I felt safe the time I was there.

I felt safe most of the times but in a certain places like Hauptbahnhof or St. Pauli, I try not to pass those places by walking. I also sometimes didnt feel safe at public transports because of the Hijab i wear. Besides that I think Hamburg is wonderful. Ot has bith the criwded streets like Mönckebergstraße and boat trips from Landungsbrücken. I would %100 recommend you to go to Elbphilarmoni buildng. Its free to enter and you can see all the city from its balcony.
Posted: July 5, 2025I 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.
Posted: January 1, 2025We 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.

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.

I would say most areas are pretty safe, however avoid central station and the surrounding area if possible. If you're alone the Reeperbahn area can also feel scary sometimes. Pickpocketing occurs often in touristy areas so keep your belongings safe.
Posted: October 18, 2025I myself tendentially skip anywhere walking through dark ways during the night but in Hamburg there is usually light and traffic and I never felt threatened or unsafe in a serious way in Hamburg. I live here for more than 15 years. That doesn’t mean nothing will happen but so far it was always safe and good if you able to watch out and take care of you
Posted: October 18, 2025Hamburgs inner city is pretty safe, except for certain areas, like Steindamm. I wouldn’t stay around the Central Station as well. I personally try to avoid going there, especially in the dark/ alone.

I'm living in Hamburg my whole life and never had anything bad Happen to me personally. Of course in can't say that you can feel 100% safe as a women, because i think as long as there is a possibility to meet (Drunk) man there is always a risk and you should be aware of that. Especially if you are near Reeperbahn you should take care

Hamburg has its nice and not that nice areas, if you know what areas to avoid you can really enjoy this beats city. Like most cities, the main train station is one of the worst areas, but the harbor is a very nice area, unlike most
