Berlin is safe
In general, Berlin is a very safe city. Public transportation is highly frequented and safe to use during the day and night. Nevertheless, there are some areas where heightened alertness is advised. You should also be aware that pickpockets do operate in Berlin (especially in touristy areas) so you should make sure to take care of your belongings at all times.
Prof. Matzdorf will explain the dos and the don´ts of moving around Berlin to help you adjust to life in Berlin.
