Is Los Angeles Safe for Women?

Most areas in Los Angeles are safe. The Tourist areas are nothing to worry about. There are some parts of downtown and Venice that get sketchy. Many homeless. Just travel in areas where many people are around.

It’s safe during the day in most areas, but be careful walking alone at night in dark commercial areas. The drug addicts and the homeless can be problematic. Do not make eye contact. Be aware of your surroundings. Uber is safe; avoid busses.

Some areas are safer than others, I would say Koreatown is overall safe after dark. I define Koreatown as Olympic to 1st street, and western to vermont. Taco trucks brighten areas and make it a bit safer.

Los Angeles is very safe in general. You can see all criminal reports publicly at crimemapping.com. I highly recommend to rent a car so you can enjoy more the city. Walking T the beaches is safe but watch your stuff anyways.

Depends on what part. Many parts are totally safe to the point that I feel safe walking alone after dark. Meanwhile, other parts make me feel like I have to be on alert. I feel very safe in West Hollywood, Beverly Hills, and Santa Monica, for example.

I generally felt safe most of the time. No serious issues, but some people will approach you and begin to complain about something you know nothing about. Sometimes quite loudly. I did not witness any serious incidents and I enjoyed the warmth of the climate.

It really is dependent on where you go, there's a lot of "tourists spots" that are super safe and I have no problems whatsoever but with over 4mil people here there are areas that are sketchy and I wouldn't recommend. I think it's important to ask locals or just do research, I've never had any issues myself at all so don't be too worried!

Pockets of LA can be unsafe. Especially downtown LA near the homeless encampments. Parts of Venice. I’ve never been attacked just scary some times. Keep belongings close by and stay in well lit areas.

Ok during the day, take Ubers at night. Watch out for bad streets, never leave anything unattended, don’t take drinks offered, people might be snobby. Overall not horrible, buses are horrible and so is train.

It’s a big city, depends on where you go! However, if you stay within well lit places, and don’t stay put too late without other people you know. DTLA is not very safe. Also, would say LA public transit can be a mixed experience. Always be aware!

Solo travel experience

I felt safe inside and while walking in crowds. Overall, the food choices in regular spaces were regular. There are kind people and there are people with ostentatious personalities, too. I stayed at hostels and they were good. Samesun is safe and quiet

Solo travel experience

Absolutely love LA for solo female travelers. So much to do and so many sweet people! It is safe for the most part; I would just avoid downtown LA. There is always something to do, and you won't ever get bored!

Solo travel experience

I suggest avoiding Hollywood. It's quite neglected and there are many homeless people there, so it's not the most pleasant experience. Santa Monica and Venice are popular areas, and downtown Los Angeles has wonderful museums.
