Is Hamburg Safe for Solo Female Travelers?

Solo travel experience

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 experience

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.

I personally don't feel super comfortable walking around alone in Hamburg after dark. During the day it's completely fine tho as long as you don't walk any creepy places. That is however just my personal gut feeling. There's definitely safer places, as there is a problem with drugs and poverty especially around the train stations, but it's not like crime is crazy in Hamburg. Just listen to your gut and stay in more crowded places maybe.

In generell Hamburg is a Safe Place to stay. Anyways there are a few spots Where you shouldn‘t be (alone) in the evening. For example, St Georg or the Reeperbahn are such places. But even there, nothing has happened to me yet. However, I did not feel comfortable and/or safe. When you're drunk, you should generally be careful, otherwise you might get robbed. So It‘s better to be with others.

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
