How safe is District of Columbia?

It’s moderately safe, I wouldn’t recommend being out late in a sketchy area. Like every city, there are some bad parts. But DC is beautiful, especially a lot of touristy areas. I’d recommend the wharf, foggy bottom, DuPont Circle and Georgetown.

Make sure to stay in the touristy areas as there are very sketchy areas in DC. For the most part I would feel safe if traveling here alone just be cautious and I would highly not recommended going out at night alone in the city. Really just depends on the specific area of where you are staying.
