Is Minneapolis Safe for Solo Female Travelers?

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.

I don’t have a great gauge compare to other parts of the world yet- but for the us, I’ve always felt very safe. I go to shows by myself and depending on the neighbor take late walks. I also just don’t go out late or party much

I’ve lived in Minneapolis for 7 years. I’ve lived pretty close to downtown and haven’t felt unsafe. There hasn’t been crime that I’ve observed in my area. Though I wouldn’t leave your car unlocked but otherwise I haven’t had any issues.

i’ve lived in minneapolis for 20+ years since i was born. i’ve been in uptown, longfellow in south minneapolis, and the marcey holmes area and can count on less than two hands how many times i’ve felt unsafe.

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.
