Salem used to be a relatively safe city, however within the last few years that has changed drastically. The number of homeless people has flooded the city community areas and most of the downtown areas as well. The amount of crime has increased and occasionally spills out into the smaller towns in area. During the day Salem can be a nice place to go and experience depending on the area of town you go to but I just like any other place, I would not recommend being alone at night unless you absolutely have to.
Posted: April 3, 2024I went on a one-day trip to Salem. Personally, I thought one day was enough to see everything I wanted. I departed on the first ferry and returned around 4:00 PM. I really enjoyed wandering around and visiting a few "witch museums" as well as the Gable House.
