That's where Germany's new "guests" hang out, since they're unemployable.

Woah, when was your last visit to Germany? Or is this experience only from watching Youtube?
Train stations are no more sketchy than before, or in other words: not more sketchy than train stations usually are ;-)
I know of NY-people avoiding the Penn Station at all cost.
Viper, you will notice that the Youtube-/media- and fearmongerer-tales about the "guests" is extremely exaggerated by almost all non-Europeans! Europe (and in this case Germany) does not look different than before. I live here.
We move around as usual, also I have no problem at all with my daughter visiting friends and moving around (even alone) even after dark.
There have always been sketchy places, they have not become more or less after the "guests" came. I mean, what insane person visits Neukölln or some areas in the Ruhrgebiet even 10-20 years ago. Same as with the sketchy areas in the USA.
Dont let anybody tell anything about new "no-go" areas. You will not find other "no-go" areas then the ones existing since forever.
As a normal guest you will not find those sketchy "no-go" areas by yourself. You have to know where they are and you have to want to visit them!
You will not run into them by accident like can happen in the USA ;-)
Enjoy your visit! Have fun! And tell us about your trip!
