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

Felt very safe, was easy to navigate even though the streets were busy. Locals are very helpful with directions and most speak some English. The attractions can center around the Holocaust and WW2 history a lot, which makes sense given the place’s past. I enjoyed all the meats, but food choices are generally quite international.

It’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.
Posted: October 30, 2025It really depends on your district but overall I would say Berlin is one of the safest capitals in Europe. I think like in most Western countries you are more in hanger of rape by your liver than on the streets. That said, avoid empty streets in Neukölln and Kreuzberg districts. Those are most famous for nightlight and most riddled with drug dealers and drug addicts, which are sometimes acting dangerously unconsciously The most dangerous spots are typically subway stations, especially U8 line. Again due to homeless addicts. Most of them are harmless, but some are so out of their mind they can be dangerous
Posted: October 25, 2025Not so much but it depends on your mood and be careful with your phone you shouldn’t have it in your hand the whole time sometimes bicycle drivers are willing to steal your phone when you walk around the corner
Posted: October 24, 2025People do stare and follow sometimes. So that things become scary but I guess these problems are everywhere we just have to look out for ourselves. Stay aware and ask out for help if something somewhere goes wrong.
