I felt incredibly safe in the city. I enjoyed food from different cultures. Transportation was easy to use, and people were significantly friendlier than I expected. It was also very safe at night, which was my priority.

My first solo travel! Was amazing, way better than I expected - and I expected a lot. I stay I'm Mitre and it is worth it so you don't need to spend a lot of money on transportation. My travel was focused on museums and art and my tips are: buy the 3 day tickets if you are a museum holic like. Also, I had the chance of going to some gallery's fee free because I arrived very "late" so they dont charge in the last hour.

Went there with Ef, a language school. Berlin was an amazing City especially for night life. Prices are pretty expensive but thats just Europe in général. A döner is a muuustt try, theres döner Shops at like every corner and its so good. Would 100% recommend I personnally love the Energy of this city.

I feel really safe in Berlin! After visiting and then staying for a few months I love the people, its a capital city so of course you have to keep your wits about you as its busy and can be hectic but I walk at night late all the time with no worries but of course be careful!

Arriving in Berlin for language school, I wasn’t sure if I would get the most out of the city as a solo traveler. However, the city with its vibrant community and extensive sightseeing options always kept me interested for a whole month. I went to all the museums, chatted with many locals, and ate the best doner (outside Turkey of course).

I went to Berlin. It was so fun and I had such a fun time being in Berlin and learning about the german culture. My stay there was overall safe and I never felt uncomfortable. I would definitely want to there once again:)

I enjoyed being in Berlin; I went for work, and honestly, I could enjoy its streets. However, in the hotel I stayed at, there was a spa, and I only used it once because apparently, it is normal in Germany for people to be naked in spas. Moreover, in my hotel's spa, clothing was prohibited, and you could only use the robe they provided. The food was normal; I am a vegetarian, so something that surprised me is that in ALL places, there was a vegetarian/vegan option. I felt safe at all times and went to explore the monuments.
Posted: February 7, 2024Berlin is a historical city with a lot of museums. 2-3 days would be enough. Many foods and shopping malls around city centre. Don’t miss Berliner philharmonic concert! Spy museum is also on my top recommendation list because it’s sooo interesting and interactive!

Berlin is a very safe city. There is sometimes petty crime in tourist areas , and some areas that are not so pleasant but all in all, after 6 years of living here i have only a couple experiences where I felt unsafe. The safest neighbourhoods to stay are Prenzlauer Berg, Mitte, Friedrichshain. Kreuzberg and Neukölln are also fine, but you want to avoid some areas at night if you are new here and alone. (Some subway stations to avoid late at night - Schönleinstr , Leinestr, Kottbusser Tor) Favourite restos/ bakeries: Croissanterie, Il Casolare (pizza).. will add more.
Posted: March 31, 2024Berlin is a good place for a women and you can be alone just make sure u are aware of your surrounding. I actually prefer it to be with some friends especially at night but it’s still safe alone. So at least for me, ofc there are sometimes old creeps but they are everywhere on this world haha. Try out apps like KulturPass, you can find there really cheap concerts and stuff. If you like second hand try out the „Flohmarkt“ beneath the Warschauer Straße. It’s surrounded by a vegan restaurant, concert places…
Posted: March 1, 2024Berlin is the best. I love it. I believe in many places it is hard to find places to connect with locals. For Berlin that can be of course the case too but if you know where to look it can become very much possible. I recommend checking the meetup app if you are looking for somewhere to spend time with people especially if you only speak English. Many people move to Berlin without knowing anyone there and these people are especially open to connecting with new people. My favourite activity in Berlin was boardgames. The meetup I went to every week was mostly English and open to everyone. Even if you are a local it’s a great opportunity to meet new people. I must admit though, there were always more men than women at the meetup. But all of them were respectful and I met some of my best friends there. In general I believe Berlin is a pretty safe space for women and you can get almost everywhere per U- and S-Bahn. Sadly I moved after a year, but I‘m definitely considering going back!
Posted: January 25, 2024Im a 29 year old woman living in Berlin since 10 years. For me, living in Berlin feels quite safe. I mean, it’s still a big city which can make it quite anonymously from time to time. Though, if you don’t walk trough a park in the middle of the night you should be quite safe. Food wise you can find everything here. If you want to eat cheap go for “Imbiss” or small food stations and avoid the touristy or hip areas. You can easily go around Berlin with public transportation called the bvg, they also have a pretty good app. Otherwise, if you here in warmer seasons I recommend a bike to you since Berlin has a lot of nice bike lanes and it’s great to discover the city! Hope I could help you a little bit!
Posted: January 15, 2024Berlin is a great city to explore! There is always something to do, even at night. Have a look at Eventbrite to find something fun to do every evening! You are always able to go anywhere in the city, trains, buses etc operate day and night.
