From the US perspective, Germany has become more dangerous. Americans should exercise “increased caution” when visiting Germany in the future – for one reason in particular.
Take care of yourself when you are in Germany! At least that’s what the US State Department advises all travelers to do. On May 1, the authority upgraded the security risk for the Federal Republic from level 1 (“normal caution”) to level 2 (“increased caution”). The “” reported first, among others.
US State Department: Terrorists continue to plan attacks in Germany
The reason for the measure is potential terrorist attacks. Extremists continue to plan attacks and “could attack with little or no warning.”
The warning applies, among other things, to sights, transport hubs, markets, restaurants, places of worship and event locations. There would also be an increased risk for sporting and cultural events. The ministry is probably warning with a view to the upcoming European Football Championship. US neighbor Canada had already increased the security level for travelers to Germany in March – also with reference to the risk of terrorism. There are “crimes committed by right-wing extremists against members of ethnic, religious or political minorities,” according to the government website. Although tourists are not specifically targeted, Canadians could “find themselves in the wrong place at the wrong time.”

Four-level warning system: from “normal caution” to “do not travel”
The US authority’s travel warning system has four levels. At level 3 it’s time to “reconsider your trip”, and at level 4 the authorities advise against it altogether. Germany is not the only country that has lost its clean slate from the US perspective. “Increased caution” also applies to trips to presumably safe countries such as France, Spain, Italy, the Netherlands, Denmark, Sweden and Great Britain.
The ministry completely advises against staying in 19 countries worldwide – including Iran, North Korea, Haiti and Russia.
