I lived in Germany for 2 years, the country is super safe during the day and night, and the best way to travel around the country is with the DB train, FlixBus, or a shared car (Blablacar). Berlin is super busy, it's not dangerous but just be careful on the eastern side of the city in the evenings.

I got lost in München at 3 am walking back to my hotel from a food and beer tour and I felt safer walking back there than I did walking in many cities at home.
