Is Hamburg Safe for Solo Female Travelers?

Solo travel

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.

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.

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.

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.

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...

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.

Hamburg is overall safe with several exceptions (central station, some areas Like Harburg, Jenfeld, St. Pauli, Reeperbahn). I’ve been living in Hamburg for 4 years, I’ve not been robbed or anything yet (thankfully). But there can be catcalling, a lot of homeless people asking for money and stuff.

Well, Hamburg is fine but in some places i suggest is dangerous for a lady to go alone. Around Hauptbahnhof, i personally think is very uncomfortable and not feeling nice but if you go to some areas around there is slightly better.

Depends on where ur are. Eppendorf and Winterhude is very safe but Reeperbahn, Billstedt, Mümmelmansberg are not that safe. Over all don’t go out alone at night as a Women. And never take the last U Bahn

Overall it’s pretty safe. Just be cautious in a healthy way. :) Daytime is pretty safe. Night time being caution when using public transportation. Some people might be drunk and not aware of their behavior. And if you are a tourist and go back home late at night it’s better to call a MOIA or taxi.

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 :)
