Is Liverpool safe for women?

In my opinion, I think that Liverpool is relatively safe. Having been here multiple times over a number of years, I have never once had a bad experience here. There are the occasional drunkard who may pass you on the street but typically they don’t do anything unsafe.

Liverpool is generally safe. Having lived here for 8 months now, I can tell you I haven’t had any terrible incidents yet. Everyone is very nice and helpful and the transport system helps you get places safely

In my experience, Liverpool is a safe city to walk around and the locals are mostly friendly. The more tourist-y areas such as the waterfront and museums feel incredibly safe, and Liverpool ONE does as well. I don't go clubbing so can't say how it feels at night, but on the occasion I've been out in the dark it's been safe. I would recommend the normal things to keep yourself safe, like I avoid eye contact with strangers and don't walk with my phone out. Again, it is a safe city so this is just a precaution :)

The city centre is mostly safe as there are lots of cameras and well-lit areas. I would say to stay away from alleyways and outside areas of Liverpool city centre. Just be moderately wary of your belongings however I have never known any pickpocketing.

Liverpool city centre is the most safe place. You will see a couple of strange people at night but just ignore them. Otherwise, the city is warm and welcoming. The outskirts however can be a bit dodgy so avoid them. The nighlife is great and you can have a great chat with just about anyone.

Liverpool overall is a safe city. I live near the city centre which is where it gets more uncertain. Definitely safe during daylight regardless where you are… but nighttime in city centre alone is a no go from me. If you do have to walk alone to meet someone be very quick and look like you know where you are going. If travelling home at the end of the night, take an Uber.

Liverpool is a great city, but the city centre at night is night and fun place to be alone after dark. The transit is pretty good and Ubers are decently cheap. I would definitely recommend visiting! Just be cautious of after dark

Personally, Liverpool is a lively city, with the streets being busy almost always. I have never exactly felt unsafe myself. Apart from news about few occassions of mugging in secluded places, Liverpool is a city filled with livliness
