Is Germany safe for solo female travelers?

Germany is generally a very safe destination for solo female travelers. The crime rate is low and local citizens are typically courteous and helpful. Public transportation, including trains and busses, is widely available and secure. Nevertheless, previously would be wise to respect general safety guidelines as in any other place, such as avoiding isolated areas late at night and being aware of your belongings. German people usually speak English, which makes communication easier. Remember, always trust your instincts.

Hamburg, 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...

Berlin, Group travel

Berlin was really beautiful. I always heard that the city is lame or boring but I had so much fun there, I traveled with one friend and it was very safe!! People are so collaborative and help a lot. However, honestly, I felt minor racism, but it was all amazing!

Leipzig

At day time it’s really safe, but sometimes at night there are sometimes creepy people, but I think it’s like every bigger city. But I never had an experience with stealing and stuff like that in the city.

Oberursel

Oberursel is much safer to stay than the neighbouring Frankfurt, and only a short tram ride away. It is generally laid-back, with almost no pickpockets. General care is always good at night in the train station, but otherwise no issues.

Frankfurt

Frankfurt center is quite unsafe - watch your belongings and never let anyone chat you up, also not the beggers, as many of them are not actual homeless people but lower romanian mafia members in disguise.

About me

So, what’s there to know about me? I’m an architect, queer, vegetarian, feminist, neurospicy (AuDHD) and am very clumsy. I don’t take myself too seriously, am a bit of a goofball and enjoy to joke around with friends. I love being on the go without having much of a plan, just see where it takes me. I’ve traveled by myself or with friends quite a bit already but there’s still many places I want to go. When traveling, the most important part for me is to get to know the culture and people of the country and really be able to appreciate its beauty through also seeing/experiencing the challenges. No glorification, just the day to day live of ordinary people and their stories.

About me

I’m currently living in Trier (close to the border with Luxembourg, Belgium and France) with my husband Pierre and our cat Mirabelle. 🐈‍⬛ The next big cities are Saarbrücken and Cologne. I’m German, French and Peruvian. I studied to become a German teacher but I don’t do that at the moment. 😅 I’m a very open, curious, social and warm person. My life goal: learn as many languages and see as many countries as possible. 😊 I love singing, dancing, playing volleyball, cooking, board games, traveling and hanging out with friends. But I also like just to chill and play video games with my husband Pierre.
