Is Los Angeles safe for solo female travelers?

Solo travel

I went in LA to take some dance class and discovered the dance community there and it was amazing ! I meet some dancer from all over the world, there is a lot of dance studio, so a lot of choice ! What you have to know is that the town is really big and it be better and safer with a car cause there is a lot of drugs people in public transport.

We mainly went to universal studios. We loved it there. It was expensive but so worth it! As a vegetarian, the food was kinda mid and very little food options in universal studios but overall I enjoyed!

Overall I didn't feel the safest if I wasn't in a super crowded or public place. I didn't feel to at ease walking the streets as a solo traveller. It wasn't super easy to get around without getting an uber but that's the case for most of North America. I was on a tight budget but there are lots of hotels offering shared female's rooms with lockers. That was a cool experience.

Los Angeles was overall a nice experience. I met some friends and I stayed there for three months and I enjoyed the sun. There are a lot of things to do like museum, visiting filming Studios but I would say that it can be really dangerous based on the place you are staying. Also, don’t take public transportation in Los Angeles because they are not safe and they are a lot of crackheads in the public transportation so I would advise you to rent a car and stay in tourist areas.

LA is expensive and big. I stayed in a hostel in Santa Monica, it is cool being so close to the water and also fairly closer to The Getty and Hammer museum which are both free. The Getty gives you a beautiful view of the city and is nice to be there when the sun sets. LA seems like an interesting lace and too many different neighbours to determine safety. I felt safe in the places I was in and felt safe alone travelling on public transit.

As a foreigner, Los Angeles does not feel safe. I am used to working everywhere back home and here the streets are very inhospitable, even during the daytime. I still get my way around but is better not be alone in certain areas.

LA is not very safe, watch your belongings and be alert at all times. You should always be with people that you personally know and make sure that you stay in the safest areas everywhere you’re traveling.

Look, Los Angeles is BIG. It all depends on where you are, and what time of day. There are really rough neighborhoods I would never go to, and other areas that are pretty safe all the time. As with any location in the world, be cautious, know where you are and you’ll be fine!

Pretty safe depending on what areas you are in of the city. Generally like any big city, car theft is probably the most common crime. Public transport can be sketchy since most people in LA have cars and drive.

Los Angeles is a very large city, but I wouldn’t say most of the city is safe to walk around at night. It’s a car centric city so either you’ll be isolated when walking or you’ll be in a neighborhood that isn’t as safe. In a group, it’s ok.
