Is Cambridge Safe for Women?

Cambridge is fairly safe when it comes to violent or targeted sex crimes but please do be careful when it comes to theft, especially when staying in unfamiliar places or walking through busy tourist areas.

Cambridge feels safe to me and those closely around me. Crime level is currently low however that has been instances in the past of violence however this is usually between individuals who know eachother already. There are always a lot of police around in Cambridge

Cambridge is quite an academic town. There is a strong student demo-graph and also tech, computer science professionals. and Although crime happens everywhere and Cambridge is not immune, I think the biggest crime here is bike thefts.

Pretty small City filled with mostly students and locals. Once it gets a bit later in the night there may be a few annoying drunk men but as long as you ignore them or tell them no you should be fine. That’s the only concern really and there’s plenty of people so you won’t feel alone even at night.

I have been living here for 4 months as a master student. Most of the time i walk alone and even when I came back home at night (the latest time is midnight), it's still very safe. People are friendly, mostly people from Cambridge university so they are highly educated too.

Solo travel

Loved seeing the old historic buildings and especially the buildings that surround the center. It does get a bit boring if you are staying there for more than a couple days. But it has great transport and feels very safe
