I went alone. I stopped on the first avenue and felt very safe. I went to various bars and listened to different types of performances. I would recommend a visit to the Country Music Hall of Fame, the Grand Ole Opry for a show, and the Ryman for a tour.
Posted: May 20, 2023I’ve never felt *specifically* unsafe in Nashville, just a generally aware of my surroundings and try to avoid situations that seem like they could go south. I don’t spend much time alone downtown/on Broadway and know that many people can feel unsafe there, but my experience in and around the Vanderbilt area is generally pretty standard for medium sized cities.
Posted: April 15, 2024Overall, Nashville is a relatively safe city, but there are increasingly more random violent attacks. For example, a couple was recently robbed at gun point and pistol whipped in the parking lot of a boutique hotel in East Nashville. I personally do not walk alone after dark, just because there are few sidewalks and bars/restaurants are fairly spread out, so there would likely be stretches of not a lot of other people being around. That being said, I would feel comfortable walking alone in the 5 Points/Lockeland Springs area of East Nashville. The biggest safety issue though is that roofies are very, very common downtown, so much so that Nashville's Sexual Assault Center started the "Safe Bar Program." There's a directory of bars online, showing which have undergone its training and have coasters to give to customers which can test for the presence of roofies. Look up roofies in the Nashville subreddit, and you'll see a disconcerting amount of posts about being roofied downtown. It's far less prevalent in East Nashville but not unheard of.

Hi! I'll be in Warsaw, Gdańsk, and Kraków May 1 -10. I like to do my own thing a lot of the time while solo traveling, but I'm also down to hang out, get food/drinks, wander around, etc if you're also in town!
