I would say that Brisbane is a safe city. Of course you have to be careful at night and when out at a bar or club but i feel this is standard everywhere. However during the day, public transportation and public spaces are all safe. As a native english speaker I am unsure of how easy it is to navigate if your not.
Posted: May 31, 2025I would say Brisbane is generally quite safe! Again depends on the area, time and the day. I find closer in the city especially on weekends, it becomes unsafe quickly! However, like any place just be cautious of surroundings!

Brisbane is safe place. Foltitude valley could be unsafe at night but except there you should be fine. There are a lot homeless though but they will not attack you. Brisbane is safe, calm and little bit boring place haha
Posted: May 11, 2025Brisbane feels safe as a women solo traveling, I've been out a couple of times and didn't really experience harassing from men for now. And the women community is quite supportive, caring and strong.

It's a pretty safe city, there are always dodgy areas and specific suburbs, but for the most part it's a safe place to be. Be careful if you're going out clubbing/don't go alone, but I think that's pretty universal
Posted: March 20, 2025Brisbane overall is pretty safe, there are some areas which are more of a problem than usual, and people should always be careful after dark but I've never had anything happen to me in the last 7 years personally even in some of the more male dominated areas.

There are plenty of nice cafes and places to eat! I also love walking by the river at Kangaroo Point and New Farm or attending a salsa class in West End. However, safety at night can be a concern, I wouldn’t walk alone at night.
