Is Iowa City safe for solo female travelers?

Solo travel

I came here to visit the University of Iowa and was pleasantly surprised! It was realty beautiful in the summer, the campus was very walkable, and the downtown area was pleasant and next to campus. I especially enjoyed trying local dairy foods at the local grocery store in the downtown area and walking through the shops.

It's fairly safe. I lived there most of my life and never felt deeply in danger. Like anywhere, just be careful who you trust and trust your gut. But overall, I'd say it's a safe area overall. Nothing crazy.

Iowa city is a very safe place, but its also a college town. Students go out on weekends, and you have to be safe with who you trust and watch your drinks. The city itself is super fun and I have always felt mostly safe
