Manchester, Solo travel
Manchester is a really good city to travel alone. There so many thing to do! I visited the viaduct, the esea contemporary, the musuem of art, the library.... The city is so warm, there's people everywhere. The food is delicious! And you can just walk on the street and look at the house...that's so beautiful!

London was very nice. We visited the Warner Bros Studio Harry Potter. This was the best experience in London. On the other days we visited the Sherlock holmes museum in the Baker street 221 B. The London Eye, Big Ben and Tower Bridge. The hole trip was very nice.

I spent some time in Brighton for a home sitting stay, and it was such a lovely experience! I was lucky to have great weather and really enjoyed the city’s relaxed, cosmopolitan vibe. I loved the beautiful architecture and being able to walk to the beach every day to admire the Palace Pier. During my stay, I explored the surroundings ; the stunning Seven Sisters, Birling Gap, and the famous lighthouse were unforgettable. I also tried some fun and unusual activities like visiting the Smugglers Adventure Caves and the True Crime Museum in Hastings. It was a perfect mix of culture, nature, and a bit of adventure!

Brighton is a great city. People are very welcoming and open minded. There are so many activities of all types. And the nature is beautiful with the seaside and the many hikes around such as Seven Sisters.

I felt very safe in London. I traveled alone at 18 and stayed at The New Linden Hotel, which was central but not too busy. I used the underground by myself to get around and walked a lot. The city system was easy to understand, and I mainly stayed in tourist areas. I always wore my bag crossbody so nothing could be stolen. I was lucky with the weather (22°C and sunny), which made the trip even better. I really enjoyed the city and would love to return – though next time not alone!

It’s alright, honestly it’s not as unsafe as people think, just stay wary, KEEP YOUR PHONES AWAY! don’t just have it sitting in an unzipped pocket, and be aware of cyclists and motorbikes, and especially in more central areas

It is such a sweet little town, super friendly. Very easy to find your way around and it has some beautiful buildings like the cathedral and gorgeous independent shops. I would recommend the Christmas market that starts in November and to go shopping down St John’s Street.

Depends on the area, but generally trust your gut and mind your business, and you'll be fine. Watch out for phone snatchers, though. Knife crime exists but is no more significant than in other major cities in other countries. Don't fall for moral panics.

Never had any problems with safety or crime here after living here for 4 years. It’s not exactly a tourist hub! But with the Wrexham Football Club documentary with Ryan Reynolds, maybe some people would like to visit :)
