I've been there many times, yet everytime I was there and id look at the Dome, it was breathtaking! It's clean, modestly safe, and during Christmas period it fills with cute markets! Id advice you to go there during those colder times.

It was my second time in the city already. I think is such a good place to solo travelers. People don't care about what you're doing at all. But is a place where you don't need to feel unsafe. Live is just individualist and you can take your time everywhere. The sensation is incredible if you want to plan a chill trip.

Travemunde, Solo travel
my first experience travelling alone was in Travemünde. i was only staying for a few days in a Small Apartment. I spend in those 4 days around 200-250€ (including the apartment). My girlfriend also visited me for a day. I had a really nice walk with surprisingly good weather. the apartment was near the train station and the beach also near by (maximum 5 minutes for both). great opportunity to buy groceries and some small souvenirs. A lot of cafes that I sadly didn’t get to try all of them. I wouldn’t recommend the small pool from the hotel nearby. I would definitely do it again!

I recommend this place to cool down while you’re backpacking. Thats what my friend and i did. Its not that busy, but also not boring. I dont know how it is in the winter, but the summer is BEAUTIFUL!!

I felt safe during my time and I currently live and study here, but I wouldn’t recommend Berlin to anyone who isn’t really big on clubbing and partying because otherwise it’s a boring city and the weather doesn’t help

Typical village life. Not much happens here. Everyone knows everyone else. No comparison to a big city.

a lot of drug addicts and criminal elements. you won’t feel safe while going anywhere close to HBF alone. Weird group of people don’t stop staring, might shout something to you, homeless are very common and i personally once faced a situation when a dirty looking man started filming me.

I'm usually not walking around alone at night, always with friends, but I do take the tram/ bus late a night sometimes. There are some drunk people occasionally, but nothing ever happened - just sit close to the driver, if you feel unsafe. I would avoid parks at night, especially the Herrengarten, but otherwise I'd say it's really safe. I personally have never had a bad experience. Hope this helps :)

Nuremberg is pretty safe. I would try to stay out of plärrer and the main train station during the night. It's not "dangerous" rather uncomfortable bc there are many drunk people at night. Overall you feel pretty comfy here

I'd say it's generally a safe city and you can go out as a woman with no issues. I like to avoid the main train station at night though..it's not the worst but not the best place to be at night either

About me
hey fellow travel girls :) I am always happy to help, open minded (feminist, bi/queer, slightly spiritual), creative (studying architecture), curious, bold (Aries 🤷🏽♀️) and according to my therapist, I’m hyper-sensitive (overthinking, oversharing, overfeeling, … all the overs?) let‘s say I am a little bit of everything - always somewhere between caring too little and too much 🙃 (as we all are, I guess) I was born and raised in Leipzig and still live here - so if you need any insider tips, I‘m your girl :) I’m not into clubbing that much since I get overstimulated easily so I probably won’t have any good recs for that (I could ask my friends for that though). but I’m always down for a drink at a bar, an ice cream in the park or a picnic at the lake. after going around the world solo once and traveling to about 30 countries I‘d say I‘m able to help with any of that as well :) I am the happiest with salty hair, a tan, the sound of the ocean nearby, a mask and fins or a good book and of course with friendly, loving and inspiring people or sweet animals around 🤙🏼 instagram: @lena_noack
