How safe is Cincinnati?

I've only been here for 4 months now but I feel pretty safe here. Eventhough there are some people in the parks that seem to be on drugs or something. But they never really look at me. Sometimes the say something that I usually don't understand but I've never been followed by them and I don't feel unsafe.

Depends on what neighborhood you are in. Clifton, OTR, and Downtown are three of the neighborhoods that I would be cautious with visiting. It is okay to visit during the day but once dark, I would be aware your surroundings and belongings. As a woman, I would not walk alone in any of those neighborhoods

Cincinnati is generally safe for visitors. But you may have several locals wave you down to try to sell you drugs. Just keep moving, You may get robbed, especially in the downtown area. Its best to have a travel companion with you. If not, Stick to yourself and stay in well lit populated areas.

Cincinnati is a mid sized US city, so you just need to keep your guard up. I wouldn't recommend walking home alone at night, but you are fine to walk around with friends. I habe lived here my whole life and never had anything bad happen, but just don't put yourself in any situation that makes your common sense think "maybe this is a bad ide", and you'll be just fine!

Is Cincinnati worth visiting?

Solo travel

There are a ton of great restaurants in Cincinnati. For a unique dining experience, try eating at the Sacred Beast, they throw a twist on traditional. Try the lemony ricotta pancakes or the glazed pork belly

About Me

I'm a big nerd (working on my doctorate in the States atm). I write poetry and compose music (love Lana Del Ray). I'm a big international girl (have lived in several countries before). I rather sit at a local cafe during my travel to write or snuck inside a bookstore. I'm not into night club or alcohol 😓 but I can definitely watch out for my peers when they get drunk.
