Staying Safe in Berlin

Here are some areas in Berlin that are often mentioned as a safety risk and why:

  • Alexanderplatz: This is a major transport hub and a very crowded area, especially on weekends and at night. It’s known for pickpocketing and can feel a bit intimidating after dark.
  • Kottbusser Tor (Kreuzberg): This area in Kreuzberg has been associated with drug-related activity and petty crime, particularly at night. Some parts around the U-Bahn station and the park can feel unsafe after dark.
  • Görlitzer Park (Kreuzberg): While popular during the day, this park is known for open drug dealing at night. It’s generally advisable to avoid walking through it alone after sunset.
  • Wedding (Leopoldplatz area): While much of Wedding is currently being redeveloped, the area around Leopoldplatz has seen higher crime rates, including robberies and drug activity. Solo travellers might feel less secure here, especially at night.
  • Moabit (Turmstraße and Beusselstraße areas): Some parts of Moabit have reported higher instances of petty crime, particularly around these U-Bahn stations at night. It’s wise to be more vigilant in these areas.
  • Less crowded or poorly lit areas in parks at night: While Berlin has many beautiful parks, it’s generally not advisable to walk through them alone after dark, as they can be poorly lit and less populated. This includes parts of Tiergarten.
  • Red-light districts in Schöneberg: Certain streets in Schöneberg are known as red-light areas and should be avoided at night, particularly by lone women

The general emergency number in Germany is 112 (for fire and medical emergencies) and 110 (for the police).

Safety Tips for Solo Travellers in Berlin:

While Berlin is generally considered a safe city, like any major urban area, certain locations can be less safe and worthy of caution. Of course, the most effective method to stay safe is to engage personal security, but these tips will help you stay safe in Berlin.

Be aware of your surroundings:

Pay attention to who is around you, especially in crowded areas and on public transport.

Keep valuables secure

 Keep your phone, wallet, and other valuable items close to your body and out of easy reach for pickpockets.

Avoid walking alone in poorly lit or deserted areas at night

Stick to well-lit and populated streets. If you need to travel at night, consider using a taxi or a ride-sharing service.

Trust your instincts

If a situation or a person makes you feel uncomfortable, remove yourself from the situation.

Let someone know your plans

 Inform a friend or someone at your accommodation about where you are going and what time you expect to return.

Be cautious on public transport at night

If a carriage is empty, consider waiting for the next one or sitting closer to the driver or other passengers.
