Is New Orleans Safe for Women?

new orleans can be safe as long as you stay in well lighted areas and with a group of people. also do not drink too much and wander off. if you follow these rules and pay attention to your surroundings you wholly be okay.

Safety in New Orleans depends on what neighborhood you are in and what time of day you go out. The French Quarter can be very fun during the day however at night it does get to be a little sketchy. Neighborhoods like mid city and the garden district are wonderful all day long.

There are areas that are okay. Times of the year that are more decent. Don’t come alone probably. Expect to hear gun shots. You will probably be safe overall, take the trolley etc. But after dark. Just don’t. Not a popular opinion, but honest. Bourbon street is and the main areas are full of drunks but safer in the crowd. It is the other areas that are unsafe.

New Orleans has its issues just like any other city. It’s mostly just important to be aware of your surroundings. I would recommend Ubers or Lyfts to travel around the city. Using the Streer car is safe as well. New Orleans has an issue with carjackings and vehicle breakins so I’d recommend not driving in if that can be avoided.

Solo travel

I went there during Mardi Gras and I really enjoyed it. There are parades, good music and entertainment and friendly people. However, what I recommend is to be careful with some boys when they talk to you because even if they seems friendly and harmless - this includes also people who could pass for your older brother since they may be 10-15 years older than you - their intentions are not always genuine and maybe they’re not just looking to be just friends with a tourist or foreigner because of interest in their culture. At the same time, without considering this subgroup of humans, people are really warm and nice.
