Berlin was fun. We didn’t get in to Berghain (lol) but we did our own tour of the city and the vibes were great. Public transportation is very easy and convenient. Very diverse food options. Great rave venues - I would love to go back and let loose again!

I loveddd loved loved Berlin this is definitely a perfect place to live in. I could find everything I've wanted. Also literally everyone I've interacted with was so sweet and helpful. There were such good shopping places and the food we tried was delicious.

I visited Berlin at the beginning of April and it was so so nice! It is very easy to meet new people, the international setting allows you to meet people from all around the world. I really enjoyed going to a rave and I’m sure I’ll be coming back for more!!

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!

Berlin is relatively safe compared to many big cities, but it can feel uncomfortable at times. Drunk or aggressive men, drug use, and harassment on public transport or at night are not rare. Most women still move around independently, but staying alert, especially late at night, is important.
Posted: May 25, 2026Berlin is generally safe but please be aware of your surroundings, there are areas with drunk / mentally unstable people. Pickpocketing is overall not very common except maybe in the touristy areas. As long as you are paying attention to your belongings and yourself, you should be fine.

I lived in Berlin for 5 years and rarely felt unsafe. There are metro lines that can be quite strange at night (U7/U8) but you will always have the safety of the group and somekne who will ask you if you need help.
Posted: May 7, 2026It's quite safe and queer friendly. A few areas are a little sketchy (lots of homeless people) but usually nothing happens if you just ignore weird people. I would recommend to be cautious around Neukölln/Kreuzberg and the U8. Lots of drug use and creepy people.

Me and Muffin, my little poodle, can host you one or two nights. BUT the little guy is still learning how to share me ;-) so he might be a little bit reactive. If you want to help me with your presens to make him comfortable with other people, please feel free to contact me

About me
Just a girl in Berlin with the dream of seeing beauty, be it in nature, in people or in their art. I recently moved to Berlin and started a life from scratch for the second time. I am currently doing my PhD, and balancing it with so many side quests (this girl got too many interests hahah)! I am a big fan of girlhood and am very much interested in meeting people, hearing their stories, sharing mine and making friends along the way. 🩷
