Beautiful clean city with not too much to do. Coming from New York everything closes early unless you’re into sports bars… which not my thing personally. Many great restaurants and views, and many shows that go on.

I come here to visit my friend who recently moved here for a new job. Sometimes, when she is at work, I like to walk around the city by myself. I always feel very safe and I have a wonderful time. When I go out with her and her roommates for karaoke and drinks, we always have a blast.

I had a great time in Boston, USA. I spent about a week there before I moved on and on and visited some relatives nearby. Boston was still pretty snowy. The greenaway was nice with public art but not well shovelled. I really liked the free viewing point " Observation Deck at Independence Wharf". The parks and public transport were quite nice too. The galleries had a free entry evening at the time and lovely art. The park by the galleries "Fan Pier Park", the waterfront by MIT Richard J. Resch Boathouse and Revere Beach had great views but the wind was a bit too cold at times in March when I...

Boston is one of most populated cities on the east coast of America. Yet, it is one of the only places where I have felt safe for such a populous city. There are many students and young adults around and everyone tends to stick to themselves. The public transportation system here also always has workers sprawling and ready to help in case something were to happen, which is unlikely.

Generally pretty safe! Pickpocketing I noticed doesn’t really happen, public transit is generally fine. In general I’d say to just use your intuition and discretion and you’ll be ok. At night time, I’d say if you want to go out, to go with a group of friends and you’ll be totally fine

Boston is pretty safe overall, but it depends on where you are and what time it is. Smaller crimes like bike theft are common. It feels to walk around at night but I would recommend being in well-lit areas whenever possible and carrying some pepper spray with you just in case. Downtown areas can be a little shady at night but the other neighborhoods are very family friendly and safe. Public transit is safe and easy to use as well. Just stay alert of your belongings at all times, especially during off-peak hours.
