Solo travel

Melbourne is a very nice city. People are lovely, I met a loooot of nice people. The city is safe, I've never felt worried there. Also transportation is very safe and good. I stayed there for 4 month and took the tram dayly without any issues there is a lot of student or people traveling so you can always find people for a trip outside the city.

Group travel

I went to Melbourne for a concert with friends. Unfortunately due to my diet restrictions (gluten intolerant and lactose intolerant) a lot of the restaurants they wanted to go to were not an option for me. However, I was easily able to find places that accommodated my needs and the food was good. I ended up walking around alone a lot and it was so easy to get around. It was safe and I had so much fun. The attractions themselves in Melbourne are really great too. There are a lot of interesting and unique things to do as well as some things that even the locals do. It's a wonderful city to visit and I'm hoping to move there in the next few years!

Couple travel

Pretty boring. We drove the great ocean road up here in may. That was amazing If you expect european grandure you will not find it in Melbourne, or anywhere in Australia, really. Definitely cool place, the thrift stores are cool but insanely overpriced, the alternative scene is insanely pretentious and there is nothing really grand or wow! To do. The restaurants and cafe’s however are great

melbourne is very safe. there is some knife crime and creepy men but if you stay in the central city areas and inner suburbs you should be okay. i feel very comfortable walking around at night. just travel with someone else to reduce risk particularly as you wouldn’t be as familiar with the area as locals. also stay away from the flinders st end of elizabeth street, lots of drug use there.

Melbourne is a really safe city for women, I’ve gone out walking may times at night and never once felt at risk! There are unfortunately some instances of cat calling, but nothing really serious or dangerous, and I personally have never experienced anything too alarming. The only thing I’d say for travellers is to be aware that it’s not uncommon to find people on drugs on public transport or in the city, but they’re generally harmless as long as you leave them alone.

Melbourne is extremely safe but like all countries, best to keep wits with you in case and trust your gut feeling. Always let someone know where you are to be safe and share your location with loved ones if you can.
