00:00Traveling alone in Germany as a woman?
00:02I've been living here for almost 10 years
00:04and I've got plenty of tips for getting around.
00:07Finding activities for female travelers and staying safe.
00:10I'll even show you a bracelet that can tell if your drink has been spiked.
00:14More on that later.
00:16In general, Germany is a safe destination for solo female travelers.
00:23Many women travel solo here, so you might meet others along the way.
00:30First, I'm going to tell you a personal story
00:33so you can avoid making the same mistake as me.
00:36While traveling in Northern Germany, I learned the hard way
00:40that not every place is well connected.
00:42I had to walk nearly an hour in the dark to reach my hotel
00:46because there was no public transport or taxis.
00:51My tip, try not to arrive too late when you get to a new place for the first time.
00:56Keep in mind that German trains are not very punctual, despite what you might expect.
01:02In October 2025, for example, every second long distance train was delayed.
01:10If you're going to the airport or catching a connecting train, leave a little extra time.
01:15Missing your flight is never fun.
01:19Neither is waiting alone in a station in the dark, especially as a woman.
01:24So plan ahead, Google Maps and the Deutsche Bahn app will help you find your way.
01:30Now that you know how to get around, let's talk about accommodation.
01:35If you're traveling on a budget, you'll find hostels with women-only dorms
01:39in big cities like Berlin, Hamburg or Cologne.
01:43Let's check out this hostel in Berlin.
01:47I think we realized there was a big demand because people often requested only female dorms.
01:53So for a lot of women who travel alone, it's very important to feel safe
01:59and they might come for the first time in their life on a solid trip
02:04and they're not used to sharing a room with a lot of strangers
02:07and maybe to being amongst women is kind of also encourages and makes the experience much nicer.
02:14So what do other women think about solo travel in Germany and beyond?
02:20Within the European Union, we don't really need a lot to travel.
02:23We don't need a lot of preparation or time.
02:27It can be sort of spontaneous, which I think is really fun.
02:30I feel very safe and comfortable.
02:32It's easy to get around everywhere and it's also very tourist friendly.
02:35A bed in a female-only dorm year starts at 20 euros.
02:42Next chapter, going out.
02:44Traveling solo doesn't mean you have to do everything alone.
02:47In fact, solo travel often opens the door to meeting even more people.
02:51So what is it like meeting people in Germany?
02:54Here's the thing, people in Germany don't open up very easily.
02:58Germans usually take their time to get to know people,
03:01but luckily there are plenty of apps to help you connect with others.
03:05Like Meetup or Bumble BFF, an app for making friends.
03:10Or the Female Traveller, a community where you can find travel buddies.
03:15The website is only in German though.
03:19Another option is GoFriendly, a platform for women who want to make friends nearby.
03:25And a few more safety tips can't hurt.
03:29Here are some safety hacks that you can use in Germany and others outside Germany.
03:34At bars or clubs, if something feels off, you can use discreet codes to ask for help,
03:39like ordering an angel shot or asking for Luisa.
03:43Not everyone knows these codes, but you might find more infos posted in the bathroom.
03:49In any case, stay alert.
03:51And of course, keep an eye on your drink, especially if you are alone.
03:56In Germany, there have been cases of drink spiking.
04:00To avoid that, check this out.
04:02The golden rule, don't accept drinks from strangers.
04:05If you are alone, cover your drink with one of these covers.
04:08There are of course better options on the internet.
04:10And if you like, you could also check if somebody has put something in your drink with one of these
04:15bracelets.
04:18This bracelet can identify Liquid Ecstasy or GHB.
04:22It costs around 4 euros and it's sold at the drugstore chain DM in Germany.
04:28To test your drink, put one or two drops on the circle.
04:31If it turns blue, it might include the drug.
04:37Some streets in Germany are quite dark, even here in Berlin.
04:41And I'm not the only one who has noticed.
04:45There are a few reasons why some streets are darker here.
04:49More efficient lighting, reducing light pollution and saving energy and prices.
04:54If you ever feel unsafe walking to your hotel in Germany, there's a hotline for women called Heimweg Telefon.
05:01They will stay on the phone with you until you get to a safe place.
05:08In Berlin, you can also request a female Uber driver or use G-Cars, a service where women drive women.
05:16Those were my tips for traveling solo in Germany.
05:20Trust your God, plan ahead and stay aware of your surroundings.
05:24I usually feel very safe while traveling in Germany.
05:28What are your experiences? Do you have more tips?
05:32Thanks for trying to take care of everyone.
