I felt comfortable walking home alone from a club at 3 am. Taking public transport at 10pm to get to the train station. It’s a safe place to walk around. It gets eerily quiet and I start to panic but that’s due to be an over thinker and a woman. But in general, I feel safe walking alone day or night.

The crime rate here is relatively low according to Google, though I’m aware of a few incidents like stabbings, muggings, and assaults. I imagine there are places that are less safe, but as with anywhere else, I do feel a bit uneasy being out at night and etc !!

As with all cities , there are good and bad parts, and if you have common sense, keep your belongings close and don’t walk alone at night it’s fine I’ve never had any problems! There have been a few bad cases in the past in this city but I think a lot of cities are this way and it’s definitely 100x safer than London in every way
Posted: January 2, 2025It's mostly safe I guess, but to be honest I don't feel comfortable on my own in the city at night. It's better to be with someone else or in a group. I would never walk through the city with headphones on at any time of day, and I'd be careful while using my phone.

Generally, during the day, Nottingham is a pretty safe city even for solo female travellers. It's important to stay within the more popular areas of the city centre and not to venture alone, especially at night to some of the rougher neighbourhoods. The public transport system is excellent, very regular and easy to navigate and I generally feel safe using it. There are lots of green spaces and again, feel very safe during the day with other people around. I would not walk around on my own at night (after 11pm) although I would get the tram home at that time.
Posted: August 4, 2024I would say it is pretty safe, same as any place there is always the chance of something dodgy happening, but I'd probably say this is only really at night when everyone has had a drink and people can get rowdy
Posted: July 9, 2024Currently in Nottingham for the weekend. It's a nice city. A lot of different places to go eat! Went for some painting in Pixie studio which was really fun - it's a tattoo place that does painting once in a while. Really cute vibe and really lovely ladies!
