How safe is Hobart?
it’s pretty safe and decent. at most couple of teenagers doing petty theft or whatever. i never really worry about any issues in every day. barely ever crosses my mind. lived here all my life. at most i barely hear any friends have issues either.

I think it's very safe. There is some crime that goes on but I think relative to other places it's very safe. I would be careful about silly drunk people late at night, and as the streets can be quite empty it's best to just get straight in an Uber where you can.

It’s safe to walk around the city without worrying about being robbed or harassed. It gets quiet at night as there’s not much night life in Hobart, but it’s generally safe to walk on the street alone, just always be aware of your surroundings.

Solo travel
Felt safe loved the laid back atmosphere and the range of activities that were on offer. Travelled round the country too was amazing! Felt very safe. Budget wise easy to do as a backpacker just be aware no Aldi in the state.

About Me
Hi! My name is Leah, I'm an architect living the good life in Tasmania. I love art and culture just as much as I love unplugging and connecting with nature. I love finding underground scenes, throwing silly parties and my amazing friends here at home. I'm doing a solo trip to Europe for a wedding and am hoping to meet some great likeminded ladies along the way who can show me the real version of their town!
