Solo travel

Clifton village is LOVELY! I’m staying in saint Paul’s area which is a little sketchy but more “alternative” I wouldn’t recommend this area at night time But it’s really close to the bus station and to walk downtown. I felt safe but just be aware

Group travel

I visited Bristol almost two years ago. I organized my trip through an agency and attended a school, traveling in a group with my friends. I felt almost always safe, even when walking alone. From the first day, I was always out and about, occasionally returning to my host mom's place. I explored everything, from churches to huge green parks, museums to shops. Being my first time in the UK, I couldn't resist entering any store. Bristol's main street is full of little shops, and I will never forget the four-story Primark, which wasn't in Italy at the time. Once you understand the bus...

You will run into a creepy man in any city you go to but I'd say in the 5 years I've lived in Bristol I've only had such a run in once or twice. It's a much safer city than most and it's not the sort of place I've ever had to hide my phone for fear of it being stolen if I have it out. People here are generally lovely and are not tolerant of most crime, this being a left wing city.

I have been living here for 8 years and never encountered any issues. The locations in the center are mainly where homeless reside during the day/night. Other than people walking up to you asking for coins, there are no issues

I feel like most cities, depending on where you are and at what time really affects how safe it is. You don't want to be around Stokes Croft and Turbo Island at night in Bristol. During the day, pretty much everywhere is safe and it's super diverse here. People are always willing to help, and it's a very LGBTQ+ safe city.
