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.

Hamburg, Family travel

I loved it for the part I visited! It's a very big city and there is a lot of things to do, there's a lot of different cultures. The port is so nice as well as the old town ! There is a big outdoor ice skating ring it was amazing. Food was good and there's so many restaurants!

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.

Halle

In my experience... barely anything happens here, sometimes teenagers might play with loud fireworks, but overall, it's a quiet city. The district where I live is considered a local ghetto, but it's only because there's a lot of immigrants, who I actually feel safe to be with and around :)

Schermbeck

A small town except normal minor incidents that happen in other places to. Save to visit a lot of nature but also a lovely town people are friendly and can assist when help is needed. There were some incidents like some atoms were blown up but no one got hurt. There is no real crime towards people you can move freely at al times you just have to look out for car traffic so no accident happen

Bremen

In Germany, Bremen is not considered as a safe city. But living here right now, i would say that it's really okay !! Nothing will happen to you, even though they are some weird people... especially around the train station.

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.
