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!

It’s a relatively safe city if you stick to the city centre - there are some rougher areas but unlikely for a tourist to find themselves there. As a woman I would be careful walking at night and stick to well lit areas if alone. I have lived here most of my life and never had any problems.

I felt comfortable walking home alone from a club at 3 am. Taking public transport at 10pm to get to the train station. It’s a safe place to walk around. It gets eerily quiet and I start to panic but that’s due to be an over thinker and a woman. But in general, I feel safe walking alone day or night.

The crime rate here is relatively low according to Google, though I’m aware of a few incidents like stabbings, muggings, and assaults. I imagine there are places that are less safe, but as with anywhere else, I do feel a bit uneasy being out at night and etc !!

As with all cities , there are good and bad parts, and if you have common sense, keep your belongings close and don’t walk alone at night it’s fine I’ve never had any problems! There have been a few bad cases in the past in this city but I think a lot of cities are this way and it’s definitely 100x safer than London in every way
