Posted: September 7, 2024Very safe, usual precautions should be taken like not walking alone at night, and being aware of your surroundings in general. I haven't experienced much night life here so cannot comment on that. People in general are friendly

New Plymouth is safe . Obviously you can’t predict everyone’s actions etc but on the most part, if you keep to yourself you will be fine 😊 Stick to the main city at night time. The coastal walkway is awesome
