How safe is Bristol?
Bristol is safe for the most part. So long as you’re out during the day and aware of your surroundings. But it isn’t a place I’d want to be out at alone after dark. During the day, as long as you keep your eyes open and walk confidently and avoid making eye contact with anyone that may look sketchy, you’ll be fine.

Solo travel
Bristol, VA is beautiful. The mountains and the rolling hills, the values.. It’s magical. It’s safe for the most part, just stay vigilant as always and keep your eyes opened. It’s not a place I’d want to be alone in after dark though.
