Perfect for people seeing something intense and special experience. Most attractive city in Germany absolutely but as a solo traveler, It would be better to take care yourself on nighttime especially.

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!!

I would say, you do have to bring a certain adjustment when it comes to the activities you want to do in order of keeping yourself safe (f. e. you don't go to certain areas at night like kottbusser tor or at least you try to be careful).

Berlin is generally quite safe, especially during the day. I would say the “unsafest” areas are Warschauer Straße and Kottbusser Tor as they get quite busy during the night and weekends. You might come across some crazy people on the streets or the S-/U-Bahn but they usually don’t mess with you, just try ignoring them.
Posted: July 5, 2026I always feel comfortable and safe in Berlin also in Kieze that have a bad rumor, like in Neukölln. Subways like the U8 can be scary sometimes but you can always ask people for help if you feel unsafe:) Berlin people are really sweet even if they seem rude sometimes
Posted: July 2, 2026I've been living in Berlin for two years, and I haven't even heard of a crime, let alone witnessed one. So, based on my personal experience, this city feels very safe, and you can live here without fear.

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. 🩷

You'll find me either at my desk pretending to do cool science while not having a clue, on a mat choking people or struggling not to get choked myself, in nature, reading a book or spending time with my loved ones.
