What a beautiful city to visit in summertime:) There are some many things to do here: visit Miniatur Wunderland (remember to booked the ticket in advance), the Elb river, Elbphilharmonie, Speicherstadt, the Bunker, Elbtunnel, two Bundesliga teams (St.Pauli and HSV), and so many more:) Small tips: you can take some of the ferries for free, instead of paying for the tourist ships, check online in advance! I recommend to stay more than four days here, including weekends since there are markets...

I loved it for the part I visited! It's a very big city and there is a lot of things to do, there's a lot of different cultures. The port is so nice as well as the old town ! There is a big outdoor ice skating ring it was amazing. Food was good and there's so many restaurants!

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.

As Long as you do not take or deal drugs, you should be fine. Myb don’t go out drinking alone. Don’t start or involve yourself in fights if it’s not absolutely necessary. Overall Hamburg is pretty safe, but if you aren’t used to big city’s or a wild night life, then try to find someone to navigate you through it. (I’m always open for a little city tour and drink at the schanze :))

From a local perspective I would say that Hamurg is pretty safe. I mean you have to take in consideration, that its still a huge city which always includes crime and stuff but if you know where to go its pretty chill :)
Posted: May 28, 2026Be careful partying during the night. Near the Reeperbahn there is a lot of crime and it's not safe for solo traveling women getting drunk there alone. During the day the whole city is safe for all of us :)

In general Hamburg is a really safe city, it’s really good connected and even AM time you can drive safely, during the day I don’t have a place I wouldn’t walk alone. During the night I am a bit more self aware especially near the central Bus station, I had walked at night there by myself but it’s not something I encourage to do. Same with Stadtpark, as a woman alone I wouldn’t go there at night. During the day is fine, outside of that enjoy the city, it’s beautiful and it has so much to see...

Hamburg based separated mother of one child. Woman who tries to blend together: laptop job (for the money), art and Ayurveda (body and soul). I love to meet new people, deep conversation, live concerts, nature, movement or just gazing at the sky.

Hey, I'm Terry :) I like to read, travel and watch bl and my fav band is StrayKids. I'm pretty introverted but I'd like to meet new people and cultures. I'm a bit scared to take the bus or train in countries i don't know, cause I don't wanna get lost and people are scary :)
