Is Cardiff Safe for Women?

Cardiff is a great place to visit, friendly people and happy to help. It’s a safe place overall, but like any other town/city, just be a bit careful at night or near clubs etc make sure you’re in the public

I had lived there for 3 years for my studies and felt pretty safe. I felt very safe during the day. However, I was always careful when walking around the city late in the night, especially when most of the public weren't around and it was just random drunkards on the streets. I tried to avoid certain alleyways during the night as well. Otherwise, I would say it's a safe city for solo female travellers.

Cardiff city centre feels very safe with many people always around. Although some streets outside the centre can feel more unsafe walking alone at night. I’d suggest following main roads with street lights and walking with others when possible outside the centre.

Solo travel experience

I visited Wales for the first time this year. I only managed to see Cardiff, but I liked this city much more than I expected. I was also shocked at how affordable prices were there compared to many other places, especially considering that I came from London.
