Berlin was really beautiful. I always heard that the city is lame or boring but I had so much fun there, I traveled with one friend and it was very safe!! People are so collaborative and help a lot. However, honestly, I felt minor racism, but it was all amazing!

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. ✨

Beware of pickpockets in crowded areas, put your backpacks in front, stay away from groups of weird men at night, never leave your stuff alone (e.g. for going to the toilet), have some cash at hand, don't be afraid of German stare
Posted: March 8, 2026Berlin is generally safe, however, as a girl, I do avoid certain areas and it has worked for me. I have come home late at night and felt safe and comfortable. I do not have experiences in clubs to be honest.

Berlin is safe for the most part, there are some neighbourhoods that are a little more sketchy than others but aside from your usual bigger city chaos activities it's mostly people that are more bark than bite. That said it doesn't hurt to be careful, for example thinking twice about going into a dark not well lit street. But Berlin is mostly harmless especially if you go out on the weekend when a lot of people are walking around. In touristy areas be aware of pick pockets and stuff like that...

About me
Hi there:) I’m Leo, born and raised at the baltic sea. Had a gap year in Scotland and moved to Berlin after that. I’m always down for meeting new people, trying new things, travelling and going on new adventures, even though I’m a bit shy in the beginning. I love photography, going to flea markets, try out new cafes, get lost in vintage stores or nature. Still wanna learn how to surf and ride a longboard:) Feel free to contact me :)!
