Solo travel

Inverness is a very safe place to travel to. I think it probably helps to have a hired car in order to make the most of the experience of the surrounding beautiful nature, but there are lots of tourist bus tours etc that you can use There's plenty of interesting history in the area too, especially at Culloden battlefield. The centre of the town is small but has plenty of lovely restaurants. The locals tend to be very friendly, but the population does double in size during the tourism season which can make people a little frustrated at times 😅 If you like hiking and swimming, there is loads of beauty to enjoy.

Solo travel

Inverness is nice, but it didn't amaze me that much. It's a good starting point to head to Loch Ness, the Highlands, or even to the Isle of Skye, which is incredible.

Very safe with minimal crime or suspicious people. People are really friendly and ready to help. Sometimes there can be people under the influence around town but this has never cause an issue for tourists.

I feel pretty safe in Inverness. People are nice and friendly, but not in a weird or fake way. I feel comfortable having my door unlocked even. Sometimes I forget to lock my car, and it's all good :).
