How safe is Belfast?

I love living in Belfast and feel safe day to day. I walk regularly into and around the city but would opt to get a taxi and walk with a friend after dark. Like most cities, Belfast experiences increasing homelessness and drug abuse but I haven't had any issues with these people but it can make the city look dirty and grubby. Overall Belfast is well worth a visit

Solo travel

I loved Belfast! It was also my first ever solo trip (yay)! I stayed in air BnB about 30min walk from the city centre and it was really quiet. After a concert, around midnight I walked to the apartment on my own and felt 100% safe. No unwanted attention whatsoever! I rented a car and went to see the Game of Thrones studio and the Giants Causeway (recommend). The city itself is beautiful to want around, and then there’s the Titanic. I’d say 3 days would be enough to see it all. I found everything reasonably priced but I also did a lot of research before I went so I did know what to expect.

I loved the Titanic Museum. It was perfect for a rainy day in Belfast when I was there. It's a pity I didn't have more time in Belfast.
