Not much to do, but defintly worth seeing. I went there for one day and the city was AMAZING!!! Especially the Jane Austen museum, which is one of the best museums I've ever seen. I also love the atmosphere there💕💕. I felt very safe and I recommend going there for a day trip.

Solo travel

I went there for a solitary trip on my birthday and I really enjoyed it. If you are a fan of "Bridgerton", there are many places associated with this series there! The Holburne Museum (Lady Danbury's house), Abbey Deli (the milliner in the series), Pulteney Bridge, Bath Cathedral, Roman baths. Besides, I spent a lot of time walking because the city is beautiful. I definitely recommend a visit to Mrs Potts Chocolate House. I was there for only 24 hours, but I managed to see and do a lot, I really enjoyed it and I will definitely return there at some point.

Bath is a very safe city - walkable and people are friendly. There are lots of tourists and it is a popular place to visit. I feel safe at night too but I don’t walk around on my own in the dark as a rule anywhere. I’ve never felt unsafe.
