Solo travel

Generally Cologne was really safe, I liked it so much first time as Solo traveler, so I decided to go there second time with my family and show them around, it was beautiful too, and I was surprised to hear turkish people everywhere lol, more than german

Group travel

Cologne is a wonderful city with a lot to explore especially the cathedral. It is also quite interesting during carnival season. It feels relatively safe although you should avoid places like chorweiler.

Family travel

Cologne Cathedral was the best part of city. Entrance was free but outside view is better than inside. Also Hohenzollern Love Bridge was look colorful. The Bridge was walkable to opposite side. I loved Cologne as I love Germany.

The streets are quite unsettling at night, especially around transportation hubs and downtown areas. Particular caution is advised if you are a woman of Asian appearance. Public transportation often has unsavory individuals who may beg or shout aggressively; wearing headphones is not recommended. Daytime is generally calmer.

I feel Cologne is a rather safe place, especially considering its big city with a lot of tourists and many public events throughout the year. There are obviously places that you want to avoid, especially at night, however, all in all, I usually feel safe even when stay late and coming back home by myself. Public transportation stations in the city Centre could use some more security personnel though. And maybe avoid Neumarkt in the middle of the night 🙂

In my opinion Cologne is pretty safe city. There are so many people everywhere and lights at night. Popular by international city. Also super friendly city. So there isn’t any danger for women. Highly recommend
