Hey, Im just wondering how safe Berlin is for a woman on her own? and also are there any good heavy metal/ alt shops in Berlin?
Sophie, Berlin is cool and certainly as safe as any British city, if not more so. Heavy metal outlets...should be no problem, but I leave the recommendation to local Berlin HM addicts.
Enjoy, Richard
Hello, I was in Berlin a couple of weeks ago. I discovered an important music shop. The name is Corner Music. It's one of the greatest I've ever seen during my travels around Europe. I will try to depict the address for you. Find the Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Churches on the centre of West Berlin. It's on the TAUENTZIENSTRASSE, on your way to Kurfürstendamm. Cross the traffic lights keep moving while looking at the first floors of the buildings. This music market is at the first floor where you can see the sign in yellow and red combination. You'll not walk long.
On the other hand, I saw a market selling heavy metal and gothic goods. Find The Berliner Hof Hotel at TAUENTZIENSTRASSE 8 D-10789.This is exactly across the famous mall KA-DE-WE and very next to the technology shop SATURN. Go inside that passage and pass the shops, you will come to an inner court, the shop is on the right.
Enjoy your travel,
solo female traveler here. totally safe. no worries besides the basic attention to watch your belongings.

What kind of shops? Fashion? Records? Vinyl or CDs?
Saturn is mostly mainstream, so I'd prefer smaller but more specialized shops. Metal is not my style, but I guess you might find a good shop or two in Friedrichshain, Kreuzberg and Prenzlauer Berg (in the latter case: Kastanienallee, subway: Eberswalder St. (U2)). Perhaps ask Google for help.

hey, thank you for your great answer. It was really helpful :)
One of the first thing, you noticed when strolling around, are this big bear statues spread all over the town. Each of the statues is unique, coloured in different colours and vivid and funny motifs. Bear is the emblem of Berlin and its trade-mark. As I was told by the locals, in 2001 the city authorities have engaded artists from all over the world in order to coloured this bears. One of this, head down, stands even in the front of prestigues Berliner Hilton.
Ahh this is one thing which is a bit tricky to find. I would recommend you to use one of the several Banks all over the Berlin to change your money. Usually there are ATMs are also present in the major branches. Do not forget that Deutsche Bank will take commision for money changing or any other bank related issues.
Excuse, it's more German or maybe old Prussian than exclusively Berlin custom.
Germans used small size bricks to built their houses, churches etc. in the past. They were much smaller than say in Poland and Czech. The area of both Poland and Czech partly belonged to Germany in the past and the population was mixed. No wander, you can see a lot of old houses made of small, German or Prussian - size bricks, even in my hometown.
Look at the brick pattern made of small (Prussian size) and larger bricks (red ones, Polish size) on my picture. I found it on the round wall of the apse of St. Mathew Church (St. Matthäus Kirche). Enjoy :-)
Berlin can also be a very romantic city in the dark with a bright shining moon - when you spend such a night at Wannsee or Grunewald or in one the countless green parks in Berlin . . . you can enjoy a very romantic evening . . .
Don't forget the champaign . . .
"The Kilkenny Irish Pub at the S-Bahn station Hackescher Markt is three pubs in one, and every pub tells a story of the Irish history. The Kilkenny is a popular meeting point in the hot spot of Berlin, in which Berliners and international guests meet for drinking, conversation, music, and parties. They also show sports events like the Bundesliga, the English Premier League, or the Champions League, live on Sky Sports and Premiere. Every Thursday they have a pub quiz which can be played in either German or in English."
My gf, her buddy, and me celebrated my b'day there, and except for the OVER smokey air it was some great evening with some great live music, a band that covered REM songs, did a few Scottish ballads and stuff like that. And how sweet they did a toast at midnight for my b'day. Also had some amazing talk & beautiful roses from a Louisiana dude. As I use to state: Southerners are truly awesome, no matter where one comes cross'em (even in Germany).
