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
Posted: November 16, 2025It 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.
Posted: October 23, 2025Experienced: August, 2025I felt pretty safe in Berlin wandering around by myself, I was pretty tired the first day so I would definitely recommend taking it easy if you had an early morning. The people I got to meet were very friendly, there was a man who had approached me to ask for my number and when I told him I had a boyfriend he was very respectful and wished me a good day.
Posted: September 20, 2025Actually I lived there for three months and it was the best experience for me especially like I love nightlife and the city and if you're someone who likes to party or extrovert you will love the city. The city is also pretty much safe like you can roam around alone at night and transportation connections are nice. You can't get bored in that city you can have foods are nice you can do the shopping like for clothes and everything, I will recommend to go Berlin

Honestly Berlin is tough as female solo-traveler. I'm from here but if you are by yourself you will probably at least once receive catcalling or stares, especially when you have a cool outfit on and it's nighttime. But if you are out and about in alternative spaces, majority really minds their own business and you can feel comfortable as you are. I'd recommend being with one other person during the night for safety reasons.

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.
Posted: November 23, 2025It’s safe eventhough there might be a lot of drunk and weird people around, but they usually don’t get close to you. Definitely make sure you’re not out alone at night because the streets are usually really empty
Posted: November 15, 2025Berlin seems quite safe during the day. If you keep yourself in more lively and touristy areas, you're safe to go! There are also scammers in touristy places who will try to pickpocket when they get close to you, so watch out. They either offer you flowers or try to get donations "for a good cause". Avoid sketchy streets at night especially in districts like Neukölln, Kreuzberg or Wedding.

Hi! I’m Pauline, a Dutchie living in Berlin since a year. I graduated in psychology and am now working part-time as social worker. Besides that, I love to be active, and do dance-, yoga-, and boxing classes. I am a full-time life enjoyer, that likes to go to a party once in a while, visit galleries, go for walks in nature (as far as Berlin has that), and have dinners with friends. I am a very open-minded curious person, that loves to meet and connect with new people and learn about new cultures. I mostly travelled in Europe, with my family or with friends, but am wanting to try more solo travelling, as I think it can be super freeing and a valuable experience. Currently looking for places and cute people where I could stay during my time in Japan (27th of April till 27th of may). Hit me up if you could host me, and we could see if it’s a match!☺️
