Is Detroit safe for solo female travelers?

Group travel

Detroit was pretty cool.I went there for a conference so I didn't get to see a whole lot.But I didn't get an airbnb for a reasonable price and visited a couple of coffee shops breakfast places and restaurants. I'd say a coffee on average was about six dollars or seven. Detroit felt smaller than I was expecting it too of course this is different if you're downtown. Also, you can see Canada from a lot of different places.It's super super close.

Detroit has come a long way from the basic stereotypes movies portray it as. Most of the corners surrounding the city are blue light districts (meaning they are always under surveillance by police). These have helped to deter crime and clean the city. There are emergency stations (like on college campuses) posted all over as well as a heavy city police presence. Detroit is honestly one of the safest cities in the U.S. I have no worries walking alone day or night. Everyone is very friendly and...

As long as you are careful and avoid walking at night by yourself through bad neighborhoods, you should be fine. Use caution when surrounded by strangers, but that’s true of anywhere I feel. Detroit like any city has bad pockets and good. The worst one I would say is probably Greektown. Steer clear of that area maybe.

detroit can be very safe, knowing where to go and people around makes it even safer. i try to avoid public transport by myself at night, or overly conversing with strangers at night. but to each their own, it’s really easy to gauge people here. i’ve never been threatened or harassed in my time here.
