Wow, I live in Berlin and both my daughters (7 and 11) go and come back from school on their own, since they are 6 yo. The oldest one takes the U-Bahn (Underground) to school and the bus to attend her hobbies. Often we send one of them to the nearby supermarket to buy last minute stuff. I like to think that I'm helping them to be independent and aware of their city. Most of my daughters' friends do the same.
