Munich, Group travel
This was my first trip to Munich, and although it was a short one, I really enjoyed it. We mostly explored the beautiful old town, wandered through the city center, and took in the atmosphere. My favorite spot was definitely the Eisbach. It was the perfect place to cool off in the hot weather, even though the water was incredibly cold! I didn’t get to see everything this time, but it definitely made me want to come back and explore more.

Black Forest, Group travel
With a fellow travel lady, I went backpacking through the Black Forest. We walked a total of 160kms from Forbach to the Feldberg. We spent the nights either in trekking camps, in campsites or on farms. The landscapes were beautiful, we came across many lakes such as Herrenwiesensee, Titisee and Mathisleweiher (my favourite!). Overall, we felt very safe and met lots of lovely, mostly elderly people encouraging us to finish this eight day hike. If you like spending time outdoors, I highly...

Berlin, Solo travel
Perfect for people seeing something intense and special experience. Most attractive city in Germany absolutely but as a solo traveler, It would be better to take care yourself on nighttime especially.

I went to Bonn to visit a friend of mine and it was an amazing experience. The river was so nearby and with the train Cologne was only an hour. I also liked Koblenz and I recommend to everyone. Just go and explore

Berlin was fun. We didn’t get in to Berghain (lol) but we did our own tour of the city and the vibes were great. Public transportation is very easy and convenient. Very diverse food options. Great rave venues - I would love to go back and let loose again!

I visited Berlin at the beginning of April and it was so so nice! It is very easy to meet new people, the international setting allows you to meet people from all around the world. I really enjoyed going to a rave and I’m sure I’ll be coming back for more!!

Mittenwald, Solo travel
Mittenwald is a place out of dreams. At every bend in the road, you can see the Karwendel Mountains staring down at you, and I kept having this feeling of déjà vu, like I had seen this place somewhere before. Maybe it was in some childhood calendar or an old photograph where I was first mesmerized by the Alps. It felt like I was stepping into a memory I had carried for years without even realizing it. It was a very emotional trip. I ended up climbing Hoher Kranzberg, and as someone who isn’t...

Germany, Solo travel
Experienced a small village local life by staying with a friend, from February to April. Was told of the 'harshness/coldness' of German strangers, never encountered that, I was warmly welcomed and engaged with everywhere I went - both small towns and big cities. I will never look at my country‘s bread the same, we‘re doing something seriously wrong. Wish I could ship bulk laugen brotchen home. Scenery is stunning, sort of comforting landscape everywhere, and I didn’t even see Autumn. Love the...

I'm currently doing an Erasmus there. There's a lot of places to visit. Great art galleries. The people there are especially very nice, I met a lot of people and now great friends. As a queer person you will be very welcomed

Stuttgart
Stuttgart is a safe city; naturally, there are areas where you need to be a bit careful, just like in any major city. The city is a diverse mix of cultures and ages, making it an open and friendly place.

As a local (I grew up here) it’s ok… around the Main station you have to be careful and it’s better to be two or more. And everywhere in the city keep your stuff not unwatched. In the outer areas it’s not as crowded, I feel safer…
Posted: August 3, 2026Bamberg
It’s pretty safe for a German city. Don’t go to the main station alone at night though. Police is driving through the whole city frequently, also we have several police stations that are spread throughout the whole city.

I have only been living here for a few months, but I haven’t been involved in any uncomfortable situations, although I have seen some strange people in Aachen and the centrum of Herzogenrath, but no interactions happened.
Posted: August 1, 2026Rostock
The city centre and Warnemünde are very safe but often a little bit crowded. As everywhere stay a little bit alert with men and groups of men. Nearly all regions are also safe at night. After football games are more drunken people in the city like in KTV.

Frankfurt
The past last years I have lived in Frankfurt and was outside even at night at for example Konstablerwache. Nothing ever happened to me exept being called slurwords. People are usually indifferent and might not help if you ask for the way. Be careful of strangers approaching at the Zeil, since there are a lot of people walking.

About me
Hi! My name is Nora, I’m from Budapest, Hungary but I recently moved to Würselen, Germany near the border of The Netherlands for work purposes. I’d love to meet some safe people, especially girlies, who love to travel, help them out with information or accomodation and I’d be grateful to receive the same. I usually need a lot of alone time but I have a bunch of that here. Also I’m neurodivergent and love analysing people’s behaviour😳
