Is Nottingham Safe for Solo Female Travelers?

The city center is frequently patrolled by local police and is well-lit, but like any other city, it has its less safe areas. Public transportation is reliable and can get you around without much issue. It's always important to stay alert to your surroundings, avoid isolated areas at night, and don't hesitate to ask for help if you need it.

How safe is Nottingham?

Safety at night:Moderate

Nottingham, like any urban area, has both safe and less safe areas. In general, the city center is well lit and often populated, even late into the night, thanks to a lively bar and restaurant scene. Nevertheless, it's still advisable for solo female travelers to remain vigilant, particularly when walking alone at night. Stay in well-lit areas, be aware of your surroundings, and consider using a trusted ride service if traveling large distances after dark. While Nottingham is generally safe compared to many other UK cities, it's always best to take precautions.

Public transportation:Safe

Public transportation in Nottingham is generally reliable and safe. Buses and trams are often well-maintained and operate until late hours. They're considered safe for solo female travelers, even at night. However, as in any place, it's advisable to stay alert, especially while traveling late at night. Always be aware of your surroundings and keep your belongings secure.

Street harassment:Low

The experiences of street harassment in Nottingham, vary significantly depending on various factors such as time of day, area, and personal experiences. On average, however, reports indicate that it is typically a safe city for solo female travelers. There may be the occasional unwelcome comment or encounter, especially during the night or in less populated areas, but it's not a widespread issue. Staying alert and following general safety precautions should ensure a mostly comfortable experience.

Petty crimes:Moderate

Nottingham, like many urban areas in the United Kingdom, has a moderate level of petty crime. Though serious incidents are generally uncommon, travelers could encounter minor crimes such as pickpocketing, especially in crowded areas or on public transportation. Staying vigilant and keeping your belongings secure will largely mitigate these risks.

Generally, during the day, Nottingham is a pretty safe city even for solo female travellers. It's important to stay within the more popular areas of the city centre and not to venture alone, especially at night to some of the rougher neighbourhoods. The public transport system is excellent, very regular and easy to navigate and I generally feel safe using it. There are lots of green spaces and again, feel very safe during the day with other people around. I would not walk around on my own at night (after 11pm) although I would get the tram home at that time.

I would say it is pretty safe, same as any place there is always the chance of something dodgy happening, but I'd probably say this is only really at night when everyone has had a drink and people can get rowdy

Is Nottingham worth visiting?

Solo travel

Currently in Nottingham for the weekend. It's a nice city. A lot of different places to go eat! Went for some painting in Pixie studio which was really fun - it's a tattoo place that does painting once in a while. Really cute vibe and really lovely ladies!
