Solo Female Travel in Germany

Solo travel experience

I was in Berlin and Hamburg for two weeks and they are very big cities and there is a lot to visit and learn. They are very active and international cities. you never get bored. There are areas where you can feel a little unsafe since there are many people on the streets and most of them are drunk or on drugs, but you can avoid them and stay away from that.

I was travelling alone multiple time even tho I have a boyfriend whom I also love to travel with. I travelled alone to Europe, mostly Germany, staying in hostels &friends places and I was feeling safe all the time. I never had any difficulties or conflicts. I don't like to worry to much instead of having a great time but also I am aware of the potential dangers and I am being careful (don't hitch hike alone:)) I was using flixbus (also during night to skip paying accomodation:)) also Regio jet train and normal flights of course. I could recommend to visit famous galleries &try every food possible & be open minded also coushsurfing events/meet ups could be amazing. I have a good friend from couchsurfing meet up. +In Praga I could really recommend Travel&joy Backpackers hostel. Cool location, services, stuff.

I've travelled a lot in my life, and felt welcomed at many places, but Germany is one of those places that make me feel welcomed the most. Of course, it is necessary to keep your common sense and be aware of strangers (because dangerous people are everywhere), but most of people you meet is very nice. As for the transportation, you can buy a monthly ticket called Deutschlandtricket. It costs €49 and applies on all types of public transport, except long-distance transport (ICE, EC or AG trains). It provides you of unlimited amount of travels, which can save you a lot of money! Food is of great quality (comparing to eastern Europe).

Safe, friendly people and clean..I really enjoyed travelling there.. I have a few different opinions. Firstly most are always amazed by the Sky Scrapers firstly. As I am very centrally located I can walk to town - the easy distance between areas by train. Westend to town just 1 stop. Each area has its own different appeal. Bergersstrasse is full of restaurants, clothing stores and just friendly people. Leipzigerstrasse very busy and popular street more for grocery shopping with organic stores, health shops and clothing stores, surrounded by different restaurants in the area as well. I think the food most surprises people. The dull greens and potatoes you think you will find on every corner surprisingly is filled with different experiences throughout the city, from amazing sushi, doner / falafel to indian, fresh and vegan. Germans are very into vegan. Most restaurants have at least one vegan meal on their menu. So food is a definite YES!!! Frankfurt is not your typical city in Europe as it was bombed during the war and most of those beautiful building are surrounded by newer versions so you don't feel like you walking down history lane, or the same feeling as you get in Paris by the architecture from before WWII.

I felt safe I recommend visiting not only one city Transport was easy to access, and the cities were walkable. I stayed in guest houses which were amazing, it felt like home at Lotte- The backpackers in Heidelberg. I am persco-vegetarian and it was easy for me to find options without meat. The overall trip was affordable.

Solo travel experience

I traveled alone to Germany and felt safe and comfortable. I walked by myself, got lost, and everyone was wonderful and helpful. I got lost in Munich at 3 in the morning, returning to my hotel from a food and beer tour, and I felt safer going back there than walking around many cities in my home country.

Germany is a fairly safe place. Of course, like in any other place, as a woman you will sometimes encounter men who don't want to respect someone else's boundaries. But if you ever do feel uncomfortable you can always ask for help and when in need contact authorities. Overall, there are very few situations like that and even at night it's usually no problem to be out on your own.

I've lived in Germany all my life, and have often visited bigger cities like Hamburg or Berlin. What I can safely say is that Germany is relatively safe. I live in Jena, and generally I don't have to worry about my safety, no matter the time of day and no matter if I travel alone. It's similar for most places over Germany, the exception being the metropolis cities (Berlin, Hamburg, Munich), these are comparable to places like New York. So generally you can feel safe, but you should be street smart when visiting big cities.

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