Is Charlotte safe for solo female travelers?

Solo travel

I stayed in charlotte for less than a month it was great and I felt very safe. I was greeted respectfully and everyone was friendly. 10/10 would recommend coming to Charlotte Nc. I was paying $25 a night for a great place.

Charlotte is really fun! Lots of art scene, lots of breweries too if you drink,(I don’t) Very friendly people! Lots of dogs!( it’s a dog city) it’s also a small city, so it’s kinda cozy Very diverse too.

It’s helpful to know which areas of Charlotte are safest so please research before visiting. Some areas are very safe in the daytime but opportunistic crime happens late at night. Charlotte is a fun city, lots of new people moving for jobs, but not so tourist focused.

It is fairly safe during the day time hours. I would suggest female travelers to stick to the happenings areas in uptown post 8 PM. And try to avoid walking in dark in not so happenings areas. The city also doesn’t have a lot of street lights so I would suggest you stick having activities planned until 8 PM and then retire and energize for the next day.

Crime in Charlotte is about average compared to other cities of like size. I take my safety into my own hands. I conceal carry and am always aware of my surroundings. I don’t go out after dark by myself and keep car doors locked. If one remains aware then the odds of being accosted are greatly reduced. I live outside the metro area in the countryside and I do feel as if it is safer than inside the metro area.

It really comes down to the area you are in. Be careful uptown at night as the type of people and scene can change depending on your location. Definitely recommend citizen app or researching the area you choose to stay in

In a young woman living in CLT and my overall point view of Charlotte is safe. It has it areas where I might feel uncomfy but overall a great place to live and walk around. I walk my dog all around the city and have never had problems. I would tell all my friends to move here
