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.

Berlin, Solo travel

I spent three days in Berlin and, through this app, I even met a wonderful person who showed me around. We also visited Spreewald, an hour from Berlin, which made the trip even more special. Overall, it was an unforgettable experience: Berlin is vibrant, full of life, and especially in summer. I can truly recommend Highswing to anyone visiting Berlin and go to Spreewald if u like nature — it made the whole experience even more special. ✨

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.

Berlin, Solo travel

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.

Berlin

It’s pretty safe, but there’s a lot of pickpocketing in touristy areas and at night there are some questionable people around in some parts of Berlin. So at night being outside alone isn’t always the best idea bit overall you shouldn’t worry if you take the normal safety measures.

Dresden

Dresden is a safe city, during the day there won’t happen anything. In the night it’s not dangerous, but you rather be careful than sorry. In the old city you don’t have to worry at all and in the new city there are always lovely people, being happy to help

Berlin is quite safe during the day and night. If you dont comment or stare at anyone, no one bothers you. Public transport is also very safe even at night. I have traveled alone late night and its not a problem.

About me

I‘m Becky, 31 years old and work in graphic design and illustration. I‘ve lived in Canada for 4 years and recently moved back to the beautiful south of Germany. The outdoors is where I feel home - I love hiking, mountain biking, skateboarding & snowboarding and pretty much everything that gives me an adrenaline rush :D but I do like to relax as well, read a good book, do yoga or meditate.

About me

Hey there! ☺️ My name is Hannah and sunshine, community, good food and nature just make my heart beat a little faster! 🌅 Talking to fellow women about their life and celebrating sisterhood is so special to me, which is why I was just delighted to find out this app exists!🧘🏼‍♀️ During vacations, I love to interact with people as much as possible, read lots of novels and go on spontaneous adventures. 📖☕️ As I’m half Austrian, I’m always up for a hike, going climbing or for a bike ride or a swim, but it’s not a must. 🗻✨ I really hope I‘ll find some great friends on here, as I‘ve always wanted to have female friends to travel with!! ✈️ Hannah 🍓
