Milwaukee, like any big city in the US, has areas that feel much safer than others. Do your research and trust your gut if places feel sketchy.  Keeping that in mind, I generally feel safe here. The city is pretty easy to navigate and there are a lot of lovely areas to explore.

There is crime in certain areas, but what big city doesn’t have crime. I don’t feel unsafe at night in my home, walking to my car, or being out with friends. Remember your surroundings and you’ll be fine!
