Berlin, Solo travel
I felt safe during my time and I currently live and study here, but I wouldn’t recommend Berlin to anyone who isn’t really big on clubbing and partying because otherwise it’s a boring city and the weather doesn’t help

This little city was really charming. I really liked the market and the heart warming cakes. I’ve been welcomed freely by a woman thanks to “Couchsurfing” who was used to travel alone too. I was surprised by her big heart. We talked a lot that night, she gave me confidence with only few words. She prepared me food in advance and offered me a lunch for the next day (even if I was leaving this exact day). She even payed the drink… her kindness was melting my heart. I asked her why did she do all those things for me, and she answered “If only you could know what people gave to me, I have to return the favour.”

It does feel safe. And berlin is not as expensive as I thought, much and more is affordable here and the quality at which food gets sold is very much richer than the price. Overall experience has been excellent.

Especially during Oktoberfest, it was very fun, very warm and people are really friendly. For stay, I stayed in a&a hostel, that's very shitty, they charge you for towel, water etc. I won't recommend that. For Food, prefer going to bars with local

Munich
Munich has a low crime rate (most common crimes are vandalism and theft) and is mostly safe during the day. But watch out in the night. There are weird men going around, so I recommend to not go out alone in lonely & dark areas

I've never had any safety issues in Berlin, not even when walking home alone late at night. But we're talking about a big city, so safety won't be perfect. So the advice for women is the same as always: avoid parks and isolated areas alone at night, etc.

Karlsruhe is a very safe city. In the day as well as during the night. I never have a strange feeling when I am driving home. There are some people on the streets especially on the weekend but never people, i am afraid of

There are some places you should avoid in the evening... For example the train station is known for some scary people But it is a really beautiful city with the towers everywhere. From the Veitsburg - you have a beautiful view above the landscape that surrounds the city

As a veiled Muslim woman I don't feel unsafe walking alone in the middle of the night. There might still be places I'd avoid just because they're too dark, but there's hardly any reports of random violence against women. Most of the times if something happens, the victim knew the predator... Can't speak about going clubbing and what happens there because I don't do it.
