It’s pretty safe! Capital of NZ but very small. Walkable even at night. Obviously always be careful of your drink, and people on drugs… Very honest country if you lose something it is usually found by the community. Hospo community looks after eachother. We have Facebook groups in place to warm eachother of trouble people.

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

Posted: December 26, 2024On 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 :))
Posted: October 20, 2024Pretty 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.
