Is Berlin Safe for Solo Female Travelers?

Solo travel experience

Berlin is a beautiful city offering lots of art and culture. Historical centre is amazing, as well as all of the museums. I especially recommend visiting the Museum Island. If you travel to Berlin, try the famous Berlin doner. One time trying is enough)) As a solo female traveler I felt safe, however I was not out till late.

Solo travel experience

I did not feel safe in Berlin, travelled by train from Hamburg where I have a student pass, I didn’t know they were not valid for train ride in Berlin. The security fined me 60 euros, and was very aggressive regarding taking me out of the train and not wanting to look at my pass. Really ruined my day.

Solo travel experience

I felt incredibly safe in the city. I enjoyed food from different cultures. Transportation was easy to use, and people were significantly friendlier than I expected. It was also very safe at night, which was my priority.

I felt safe enough, but lonely. Suggest u to download some apps for meeting in advance, people here are very open an friendly. The city is beautiful, especially central part, visit museums and clubs.

I feel really safe in Berlin! After visiting and then staying for a few months I love the people, its a capital city so of course you have to keep your wits about you as its busy and can be hectic but I walk at night late all the time with no worries but of course be careful!

I went to Berlin. It was so fun and I had such a fun time being in Berlin and learning about the german culture. My stay there was overall safe and I never felt uncomfortable. I would definitely want to there once again:)

I enjoyed being in Berlin; I went for work, and honestly, I could enjoy its streets. However, in the hotel I stayed at, there was a spa, and I only used it once because apparently, it is normal in Germany for people to be naked in spas. Moreover, in my hotel's spa, clothing was prohibited, and you could only use the robe they provided. The food was normal; I am a vegetarian, so something that surprised me is that in ALL places, there was a vegetarian/vegan option. I felt safe at all times and went to explore the monuments.

I would definitely recommend Berlin. The a and o hostel at Berlin Mitte is good located, cheap and offers just woman rooms. I felt really safe there and had a lot of fun. Great bars, clubs and food sport around.

Solo travel experience

So, I just spent 3 nights in Berlin and out of a few of my solo trips to European cities (Dublin, Barcelona, Porto, Lisbon), I felt absolutely safest there. I loved how the city is connected through public transportation, I felt safe returning to the hostel after a night out, etc. I walked around the city, both during the day and at night, and I was never harassed. I even went out at night for the first time - scary, but so funny. I stayed at St Christopher's Inn hostel - personally, I found it quite basic for the price I paid (compared to other hostels where I stayed in other cities), but the location was ideal, and overall it wasn't bad.

Solo travel experience

Berlin is very safe. I travelled alone, walked around the city late at night and moved everywhere without any problems.

Berlin is quite safe, but it’s still a city so don’t leave your things unattended at bars, etc! Petty theft or pickpocketing can still happen. Use common sense as in any major city. However, I feel generally safe here.

The safety depends on the different areas and the time. Of course at night it becomes more "dangerous" especially for women. Personally I don't go alone on public transport after 1 am, especially in the city where you will see a lot of homeless and drunk people (mostly men). Outside of the city center it is pretty safe in my opinion, I can go out whenever I want to and I have rarely been worried

I had a solo traveler experience in Berlín, I only stayed 2 days but it was great. I stayed at Christopher's inn Hostel near Alexander platz. People at the Hostel were friendly. They have a tour for the guests and beer was 2x1 for the guests. I had fun and met great girls.

My first solo travel! Was amazing, way better than I expected - and I expected a lot. I stay I'm Mitre and it is worth it so you don't need to spend a lot of money on transportation. My travel was focused on museums and art and my tips are: buy the 3 day tickets if you are a museum holic like. Also, I had the chance of going to some gallery's fee free because I arrived very "late" so they dont charge in the last hour.
