Any places in Germany, that a non-white tourist should miss?

Question

I heard stories about turks and blacks being attacked by Neo-Nazis.

Answer 1

Compared to the US, there is no crime in Germany. :-)
But, of course there is. Not as much, but you never know, what you step into.

The western part of Germany is used to Americans, as we had US Soldiers here ever since the war. So you can say, we are kind of "americanized". The eastern part of Germany was occupied by the east block, so they had no chance to adapt.

The average person on the streets will not be your problem especially not in daylight. But there are a few juveniles with Nazi ideas who would not be nice to meet, especially more than one. They are strong in groups, only. There are not many, but more in the eastern part of Germany.

But again, if you don't search for the ugly areas, I don't expect a problem for you and since I'm familiar with both countries and with the theme: There is less racism in Germany.

Answer 2

Frankfurt is a vibrant and international financial and trade good town with imposing skyline in Germany and is among the areas that you might want to see, a minumum of one time and that place hotelbye can help you. Frankfurt is really a town in the heart of Germany and Europe and is just a city that will provide several facets and different variety. In one's heart of Frankfurt's Old Town you will see a spot effectively valuable, the Römerberg.The Römerberg is an irregularly designed square with the Justice Fountain at its center. Not only can it be Frankfurt's many picturesque public square, it's the city's busiest pedestrian zone, home to numerous tourist attractions from its several Kulturschirn (a kind of open-fronted store once common through the entire old town) to the Römer, a complex of 11 wonderful old structures from the 15th to 18th ages offering the Old Town Hall with its Imperial Hall, once the world of striking banquets. Different notable buildings are the New Town Hall, the 14th-century Gothic Church of St. Leonhard, and St. Nicholas Church, notable because of its carillon.

Stick to the big cities and you'll be alright. German cities are such diverse places that you'll blend right in. If I had to avoid a specific area, I'd say eastern Germany would be it. Unfortunately, certain parts of Berlin are pretty bad as well. On the flip side, Frankfurt is the most diverse city in the country. Demographics-wise, it's more like New York than a typical German city. It's a great town.

Answer 4

Chicago has a status for its pizza. It's a deep-dish kind - very filling. It's an received style, specially when you have been uncovered to relatively well pizza in different locations. But Chicago does have a status for well meals. Beef is a large deal in Chicago - there are a quantity of well steak residences. None are very affordable. Chicago's Chinatown has a few very well locations. Also the Swedish Andersonville vicinity has a few excellent 'smorrebord' eating places.

Answer 5

Sadly, such attacks happen, and before the World Cup, some politicians suggested coloured visitors should keep from visiting some parts of Eastern Germany. But frankly, I think you'll be fine if you do what a sensible traveller does anyway: Don't go into dodgy areas at night on your own. If you feel uncomfortable somewhere, leave. In all major cities, and in broad daylight, you'll be fine.

Answer 6

Hey ... I am German! You don't have to worry of getting attacked as a tourist! If you come here and visit the attractions nothing is gonna happen to you as long as you avoid the poorer parts of the cities!

Answer 7

Neo nazis get everywhere and attack anyone who is not a German, there are lots of foreigners of all colours settled in Germany, it is a nice place so dont worry about being attcked. Check Out Sachsenhausen in Frankfurt if you like beer and sausages( together).

Answer 8

Well, I'm German, from East Germany and my (ex-)husband is black and he has visitted me here several times and nothing ever happened to him.
