Solo travel

I had so much fun in Madison last August. It’s a very charming city with lots of outdoor activities and foods to try. The bar scene is huge due to the college campus so going out is an obvious choice when visiting.

Madison was oh-so-charming! I love the Victorian architecture and history. One of the cutest cities I’ve visited - can’t wait to go back at some point! I stayed at the Mansion Hill Inn, which was breathtaking and had top-notch customer service. Everyone I encountered in Madison was so friendly! A highlight of my trip was touring the elaborate capitol building. I took so many photos, and it was great to learn so much about its history! There are also great museums and restaurants.

I stayed in Madison for a month in January/February. I often went for walks at night because the days are short in winter, and I always felt safe. I did everything on foot or by public transportation, day and night, and no one bothered me, but I did sometimes encounter drug addicts on the bus. It can be stressful traveling alone at night, so I usually sat near the driver in those cases!

I feel overall it is pretty safe! Everywhere you go has not great neighborhoods but most here are pretty safe. Its very family friendly, and community based honestly.i wouldnt say I have any complaints to share.

Generally safe. Theft is big. Don't walk around downtown alone at night. Homelessness is a big issue downtown as well- you're likely to be approached if you're on your own downtown at night, so best avoid that.
