How safe is Orlando?

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

Orlando is for the most part safe. If you stick with the right crowds and in the right areas you will be ok. I think in general in Florida human trafficking is something to be vigilant of. Just stay in the public area and you should be safe.

Is Orlando worth visiting?

Travel rating

3.5 /5

based on 4 experiences from female travelers

It was fun. Have to plan it very well as there are things you could budget and still enjoy everything they have to offer. Went to Disney world. Even ate at their restaurants and with everyone we paid roughly 2k all together. We planned when to even go for the rides and the events they had. Also book a airbnb might be better as I’ve heard the hotels in Disney aren’t that great. We had a pool in our house that we rented which was amazing and even a cinema room which we enjoyed at least once. We were only there for one week 😂. It was safe and we didn’t really have any problems.

Orlando was great! We stayed in an gated community house that felt super safe. We did some exploring. The food in this area we delicious anywhere we went. The fruit was super sweet. We were there for a training camp, and we usually return at least once a year.
