Solo travel

I felt very safe while in Minneapolis. I only use public transportation and found it easy and affordable. There were a lot of food options, including many vegetarian friendly options. I stayed near Target Center and found the neighborhood walkable, friendly, and relatively affordable.

When ICE isn't here I'd say it's decently safe during the day, be careful traveling here right now if you do not appear / are not white. During the later evenings, especially on weekends, things can get rowdy downtown, so be careful.

I feel very safe walking during the day as a women, but I would procede with extra caution at night in downtown areas. There are plenty of beautiful walking areas and lakefront areas that are very safe.

There are areas around town I wouldnt walk alone in but overall there are safer places than not in mpls. Unfortunately, as awoman I never walk alone at night so my advice is either go in pairs/groups or stick to daylight hours.

Minneapolis is a nice city, just make sure to not visit lake street at night like past 2am. Otherwise the city is nice, it’s beautiful but a bit boring. Don’t trust Somali men who lure you in, most of time they want to have relationships with you and then leave you- Somali woman:
