Bremen 2025: great beer and coffee, friendly climbing gym, beautiful architecture and perfect routes for running. Warm days, relaxed pace, cosy cafés and an easy city to enjoy actively outside Summer.

Solo travel

I felt safe, Bremen has a lot of horse farms to offer, you can learn to ride and after lessons swim in the river that flows through the whole of Bremen, I think it's a great location for solo travel because there are many green pastures and warm people, you can make friends by going outside where people do different kind of sports, I recommend Wasserhorst in Bremen, was best.

Is Bremen safe for women?

all in all its safe. Its just suppose to be the most dangerous city in germany but I have never really felt unsafe. Its great to go out at night every part of the city but the „viertel“ is dead. Maybe dont hang out at the central station at night.

Very safe during the day, never had any issues or felt unsafe. The train station area feels a bit unsafe at night, with a lot of drug users around. I have heard of women especially being harassed at night. But I personally never had any major problems.

It's pretty moderate, like every big city, but at friday and Saturday night there is an awareness team in the viertel, so that's pretty good, but I also experienced cat calling and other similar things. So it is not completely safe but it has some structures that help it to get better.

Over the day it is pretty safe! but you shouldn’t leave your belongings out of your eyes. If you are a girl: Don’t go home alone at night! Especially not in Bremen Neustadt or around the train station

In Germany, Bremen is not considered as a safe city. But living here right now, i would say that it's really okay !! Nothing will happen to you, even though they are some weird people... especially around the train station.

a lot of drug addicts and criminal elements. you won’t feel safe while going anywhere close to HBF alone. Weird group of people don’t stop staring, might shout something to you, homeless are very common and i personally once faced a situation when a dirty looking man started filming me.

About me

I’m an international student. I recently graduated. I was doing a master’s in Astrophysics. I am currently living in Germany and applying to PhDs. I love to travel and explore. My travelling in general is very “exploring new cultures and cuisines” centric. And what better way to understand different cultures other than meeting new people!! 😄

About me

Hi, I'm Andrea. I've been living in Bremen for 18 years now and I work as a cultural manager in the local music scene, supporting local bands and organizing non-profit concerts, so I know the Bremen subculture well. My job allows me a lot of flexibility. I am a night owl and often work in the evenings or on weekends. I have been living in my 60-square-meter apartment in Bremen's "Neustadt" district for 12 years now. It is a lively neighborhood very close to the city center. Many great cafes, stores and venues are within walking distance. I don’t own a car, I don’t need it. Bus an Tram Stations are super close. I offer a so-called "half room" as a guest room. It is approximately 7 square meters in size and is furnished with a comfortable single bed and a desk. I never smoke in the apartment, only on my balcony. I am happy to help anyone with accommodation. A small donation would be nice, but is not mandatory. Just get in touch!
