How safe is Charlotte 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.

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.
