Is Orlando Safe for Women?

Depending on the area you go to it’s very unsafe stay away from Pine Hills and Kissimmee it’s extremely dangerous and girls have disappeared. Downtown Orlando is dangerous at night and has many drug addicts and homeless who can and will randomly assault you. Otherwise, the nightlife, the vibes and the people are wonderful and we have many theme parks and things to do.

Orlando is safe in more tourist concentrated locations, primarily surrounding Disney and Universal. There are also wonderful neighborhoods with amazing food and activities such as Winter Park, Dr. Philips, Windermere, Sanford, and even East Orlando close to the University of Central Florida.

Orlando can be a very safe city! I have lived here over 10 years and am born and raised in Florida for most of my life. Just like any other larger US city, you simply need to be vigilant in certain areas of town. Always use reputable rideshare or taxi apps - Orlando has a history of problems with fake cabs. Be mindful of your cell phones when out at bars or clubs! We have pickpockets just like other cities. Areas like downtown or pine hills can be questionable if alone at night, but areas like Mills 50 and winter park are extremely safe and fun! So many things to do here, but as always just be mindful of your surroundings.

Orlando is a tourist Mecca and I always feel safe exploring all over town. Public transit isn’t used often here but I have always felt safe when I used it. I often walk alone at night in a variety of neighborhoods and never felt unsafe.

Orlando feels mostly safe, but people can be rude for no reason. lots of line cutting, nasty remarks, and other things that could easily be made worse with confrontation. Traffic is also pretty bad, and doesn’t always feel very safe

Solo travel

I felt safe in Orlando, taking basic precautions like not walking alone late at night and sharing my location with my mom in Brazil. I often used Disney and Universal resort buses, which felt very safe and convenient. My favorite park was Epcot, with Guardians of the Galaxy as my top ride. Magic Kingdom is beautiful and the castle made me emotional, but I found it a bit too child‑oriented. Epcot’s food is amazing, especially at the World Showcase. I stayed in a comfortable place with easy park access and used ride‑share apps for transport — fast and convenient.
