Minneapolis is a fairy safe spot if you’re with groups! I’ve never walked around alone nor do I recommend it! I mostly stay away from the cities after dark, with all the bars and clubs around, the streets can get pretty crowded.
Posted: March 31, 2025It depends on where you are. My neighborhood feels pretty safe. I walk alone at night sometimes and sleep with my window cracked open some nights. Other parts of the city are not safe. I’ve been catcalled a few times. I’ve never taken public transit as I have a car.
Posted: January 20, 2025I’ve never felt unsafe in Minneapolis or St. Paul during the day, unless around the main metro transit areas. Most metro areas are fine if you don’t talk to anyone, and just mind your own business, but I don’t think this area is any less safe than any other large city.
Posted: January 11, 2025It is a relatively safe city, but you need to use caution when walking alone at night. Certain areas are safer than others. Gun violence is on the rise, but that is everywhere in the United States. Public transportation in Minneapolis is not great.
Posted: December 26, 2024Some areas are safer than others. I live in uptown and it is relatively safe despite the lore. There’s been a lot of fear mongering after the protests but truthfully uptown isn’t bad. There’s a ton of small businesses to explore and support and it’s overall a lot of fun!
Posted: August 22, 2024Minneapolis (at least the campus) is a fairly safe area! I would stay away from Dinkytown after dark, but otherwise, I’ve felt fairly safe when walking around here and the suburbs. South Minneapolis tends to get a bit more iffy.

I'm Emma, I've lived in Minnesota all my life but love to travel. I just bought a converted bus to live in for the summer and maybe take it to the Northwest!
