It was my second time in the city already. I think is such a good place to solo travelers. People don't care about what you're doing at all. But is a place where you don't need to feel unsafe. Live is just individualist and you can take your time everywhere. The sensation is incredible if you want to plan a chill trip.
Posted: January 15, 2026Experienced: December, 2024I 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

You have to be careful about your stuff and yourself. You can never be careful enough girl as long as you are alive you are safe ❤️. We women anything can happen to us no matter where we are. Just be attentive.

I think berlin is quite safe. You have to surround yourself with the wrong people to really be at risk of crime. Of course when you forget your things in the train or somewhere they will be stolen and it’s unlikely that you will get it back but it’s still happens sometimes.some people are really genuine.

berlin is generally safe, but like every big city you should stay aware in crowded places.. public transport is fine, just keep your stuff close, especially during rush hour or late at night.. areas can change vibe from street to street.. most people are friendly and helpful, and there’s always someone around if you need directions.. overall: enjoy the city, stay aware, and you’ll be totally okay

Berlin is generally a safe city. Be sure to understand how to identify street scams and protect yourself from pickpockets. Don't engage with dumb drunks. At night, on the subway or bus, sit in the front behind the driver/conductor.

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.
