Such a cool city!! Australia is actually the safest country i have ever felt in. I can walk alone, daylight or night time and feel safe. The CBD is very pretty and has a lot to offer to student life.

It was a great family adventure between girls. We can practically only move on foot. We even got lost outside the city center but it was incredible. Australians don't even pay attention to tourists in make your life
Posted: September 20, 2025I spent 6 months in Australia as a solo female backpacker. It was an amazing experience, I met so many people & made new friends:) I can highly recommend it! It’s a great place for solo travellers, you’ll never feel alone, there’s always someone who can help you:)

Melbourne is a very nice city. People are lovely, I met a loooot of nice people. The city is safe, I've never felt worried there. Also transportation is very safe and good. I stayed there for 4 month and took the tram dayly without any issues there is a lot of student or people traveling so you can always find people for a trip outside the city.

I went to Melbourne for a concert with friends. Unfortunately due to my diet restrictions (gluten intolerant and lactose intolerant) a lot of the restaurants they wanted to go to were not an option for me. However, I was easily able to find places that accommodated my needs and the food was good. I ended up walking around alone a lot and it was so easy to get around. It was safe and I had so much fun. The attractions themselves in Melbourne are really great too. There are a lot of interesting and unique things to do as well as some things that even the locals do. It's a wonderful city to visit and I'm hoping to move there in the next few years!

Sydney feels really safe. There's a lot of people in the streets who're minding their own business. Also, there's a lot of security by bars and clubs to make sure everyone has a great time. Overall, i feel really safe in sydney
