Is Wellington Safe for Women? Crime Rate in Wellington

I've never experienced anything that has made me feel unsafe in my years living here. I guess so long as you always listen to your gut instinct, you'll be absolutely fine !! The night life here is good as well ! Just make sure you have someone looking after you as a women 🥰 We gotta stick together

Wellington is most safe depending on what areas you stay in. The city centre is great, well lit and plenty people around. I would avoid the night clubs though, that’s what typically makes the city feel unsafe

On the whole very safe, it’s a pretty small city and people generally look out for each other. Like anywhere I wouldn’t say walking alone at night is recommended but I have many times and it’s always been okay :))

Pretty safe. Usual sort of stuff applies though like it’s not guaranteed safe to walk around at night. You wouldn’t really experience any issues day to day. Chill place with good vibe. Some homeless people etc.

Wellington is very safe. I personally have never experienced anything untoward from men. However, I have experienced cat-calling over the years, but this seems to have lessened as the world gets more progressive and men begin to use more of their brains. Keep your usual smarts about you, follow your instinct, and make sure you're with people if you're drinking.

I grew up in Wellington and visit often. I frequently walk or bus home after nights out and have never been particularly worried about my safety. Although the buses are a bit unreliable especially late at night so I would suggest having an alternative form of transport (eg uber and a charged phone with data, there are taxis but theyre not common). The central City is pretty walkable though with only about 20minutes to most parts. From my experience Wellington is one of the safest feeling big cities in New Zealand. I generally leave my stuff on chairs or the floor in a corner (coat not phone/wallet though occasionally purse too) when dancing at clubs since they usually dont have coat rooms as do many people and have never had any issues with that. I have been cat called a few times, generally as a teenager by other teenagers. Ive also had a couple guys at bars be overly pushy about buying me a drink when Ive said no. However, if there are issues you can usually approach the bar tenders or bouncers. If you need to charge your phone often they'll let you at the bar (just dont forget it!). I havent heard of any cases of spiked drinks in Wellington as in Christchurch or Dunedin Theres also a great queer scenes in Wellington so its very welcoming of lgbtq+ The only thing that might seem a bit alarming is when you en counter ganga members, however, they will leave you alone especially as women and in the central city and usually only seem scary. There is also a issue with homeless esa and you May be approach es by someone asking for money but they will not rob you, if you want to help them out you can, otherwise they will leave you alone if you walk away or politely refuse in my experience. On Friday and Saturday nights theres also a water and chill station on the main party street (Courtenay Place) with friendly people handimg out water, its perfectly safe to drink and you can also charge you phone and sit a bit there if you need. Hope this is helpful :)
