Is Boston Safe for Solo Female Travelers?

Solo travel

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 visited. I would recommend. The HI Boston Hostel was convenient and pleasant. I also stayed in a hotel by Revere beach which was really nice and relaxing. "Las Delicias Colombianas" restaurant I think is the one where I got my sizzling steak at which was great.

Visited in the summer, the T (trains) were pretty regular and not as delayed as NYC trains (max 15 min delay one time in my 3 month internship). Harvard yard, Boston Commons, all the trails are lovely. I traveled around at most hours of the day and it was relatively quiet/calm the entire time. If I had extra time I'd love to check out Salem!

I went there to few days to commemorate my birthday. I did couch surfing at the moment. Was in 2015. Was really nice the experience. I really recommend! The weather wasn’t the best one, but if you have good clothes can be fine.

My experience was amazing in Boston, I spent there two nights It’s very safe and people are friendly, it’s a little bit expensive in food and activities but there’s lot of public places that you can visit and enjoy for free I had the best seafood there, many parks around and amazing clubs

I found that Boston was a very clean city. It was bustling with students, and there was lots of great music. I did not stay long as I was just passing through on a solo road trip however, I do feel as if I could live there! Very lovely architecture and I didn’t find the driving too bad.

I went alone about a month ago, and the people were very nice and friendly. It was one of the easiest cities to tour solo. I spent 3 days eating and drinking.

You should go down the Freedom Trail, it will guide you through the city and past many historical sites. There are pleasant shops on Newbury St., some of them are a bit expensive, but it's a great neighborhood with a good selection of restaurants. Select Oyster Bar is a great place with a nice bar for eating alone. Boston is my favorite city, I've always found public transportation to be safe and easy to understand.

Boston is very safe. I have never nervous or scared in the city and I walk around a lot and have lived here for 7 years. Of course there are certain areas that are dangerous at night but these are very easy to avoid/are located on specific streets

Boston is relatively safe depending on which towns you go to, like I wouldn’t recommend walking alone at night around Roxbury just because you could get robbed or mugged or harassed. Parts like Brookline and seaport are very safe and even Fenway.
