How safe is Nashville for solo female travelers?
Solo travel
I went to Nashville in May 2025 for a weekend and I really enjoyed the city. There was so much going on and something to see in every corner. The parking situation on the other hand is horrible. You need to be very cautious to not fall for things like JUST $4 (for 30min and $20 per hour). Nashville is pretty walkable in my opinion and the coolest things you’ll see when you just take your time to wander around

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.

Nashville is fairly safe, very small, so you can get around pretty easily with Ubers. But I wouldn’t recommend walking alone at night in most places. I can go into further detail when necessary.
Posted: February 10, 2026Nashville can be super sketchy if the correct precautions are not taken. Beware of any alcoholic beverages you may buy on broadway, very common to be drugged. Ubers are generally safe. Always have a plan while being here for nights out. During the day time it’s generally a safe area, mugging is not common. The homeless population here is prominent but not aggressive, a lot of them are super nice.

As in all places, keep your wits about you, use basic safety measures, act more confident than you feel. People are very friendly here but there are the occasional bad apples. Definitely watch your drinks if you’re in the city. That’s probably the biggest worry out here for women. Be safe and have fun!

About me
Based out of Nashville, I travel every opportunity I get. I’ll be in Italy 2/11-2/18 I’m open to going anywhere! I want to see the world, but am happy to explore new places in the US as well or make friends to plan a trip with! Open to hosting & swaps. A little about me: I have an orange cat named Beast, we live in a two bedroom apartment in East Nashville (the most creative, artsy, and active night life for locals). I love film, architecture, history, thrifting/antiquing, art, and the food & beverage industry (which I work in.) If you’d like to visit Nashville; I’m so excited to have you. I work adjacent to the service industry as a brand representative, so I know all of the best spaces and community for food, bevies, and nightlife. I love finding cheap flights if you need any help planning your trips; I have my methods. So happy to be a part of this community! I went through a tough breakup a couple months ago, and am excited for my own personal “eat pray love” adventure, but have definitely been nervous to travel abroad alone for my first time. I appreciate any tips & support. <3
