Is Miami Safe for Solo Female Travelers?

Solo travel

I had a good time in Miami. It's good for a solo trip and people are generally warm and friendly. Tourist areas seemed safe. If you venture to other areas be vigilant. There are buses and free metro lines that connect major areas. It's easy to get around without renting a car. I stayed in a hostel in South Beach and loved it. If you speak Spanish you will be right at home, most locals are fluent in English. Little Havana and Wynwood were my favorite areas. Little Havana is super lively and fun. Balls & Chain, Cubaocho Museum were my favorites. Wynwood has amazing murals all over the neighborhood. South Pointe in South Beach has amazing sunset views. The sightseeing sunset cruise is also fun and I recommend it.

Solo travel

I felt pretty safe in Miami, although there were some weird people at the club. Knowing how to hold your own is essential and keeping small self-defense devices on you. As a girl, you will get into the clubs for free with a promoter, but some of them are weird.

Couple travel

We love Miami, have been three times now for 3-5 days each trip Generally we felt safe, although we didn’t venture away from Miami Beach/South Beach much in the evenings. Daytime feels very safe. Obviously the beach and the Art Deco architecture of Miami Beach is the main draw, we spend a lot of time in the sea and eating in nearby restaurants. Great fun is to visit little Havana to dine and salsa, Coconut Grove is cool for dining too. Personally I wouldn’t choose go out alone at night, but sunset dinner and walk home I would do. It’s really hot, so don’t plan on doing too much, little bit of sightseeing and a lot of chilling is the best plan. Easy to get around via Uber or using the bus network.

Group travel

I felt safe with my girls and we stuck together the whole trip, especially in the clubs. The budget was pretty cheap even though we went during spring break season, I didn’t have to spend too much. I recommend Bacon B*tch for brunch, if you don’t mind being called a b*tch by your waitress lol. Overall it was a fun Aries trip with people I love!

Solo travel

I felt safe. I stayed in Brownsville. I took public transportation and rideshare. Lots of ways to get around the city. Food was great. Mattie's, Naomi Garden and Chef Creole are local favorites to try.

Miami is a cosmopolitan city but the crime rate is one of the lowest in the state of Florida and in the United States. There are areas that are more prone to have violence than others. Where I live is a family oriented area with A+ school district therefore is pretty quite and safe.

It depends on the district, there’s places you can’t go at night as a woman. Tourist places tend to be okay, but you can experience sexual harassment anyways. For someone to rob into your house is not common.
