Is Hamilton safe for solo female travelers?

Hamilton is a relatively safe travel destination for solo female travelers. It is a mid-sized city with a small town feel and locals are known to be friendly and helpful. It has well-lit and busy streets, even at night, which creates a sense of safety. However, just like travelling to any foreign city, you should always exercise caution and stay vigilant at all times, particularly during night. Use trustworthy transportation options and keep personal items secure to avoid possibilities of petty theft.

Hamilton is a safe wee town an hour south from Auckland in New Zealand. The only thing safety wise I would recommend being cautious after dark - not walking alone, being cautious if you are going out to town because there are a couple weirdos.

Hamilton is generally a safe city. It’s fairly safe after dark when the city is busy in the pub/club/restaurant areas but once they quieten down/close I would be home as there can be an element of undesirables that hang about later. Don’t walk after dark by yourself, safe to walk with another or a group. My daughter and I often take a 30 minute evening stroll after dinner when it is dark and have never had any problem in our residential suburb. There are certain suburbs I wouldn’t walk in.
