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 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
Hi all! I’m Shannon from Nashville, TN. I’m an audiobook narrator and occasional cookie decorator (check out my dormant instagram @ikneadcookies if you’re bored). Currently going through a divorce and getting to know who I am outside of someone else’s expectations. Turns out, I’m kind of neat! I love good coffee, cozy tea, bread, crocheting, plants, rock hounding, and finding that perfect balance between doing nothing and going exploring. I’m passably fluent in Japanese, can understand more Korean than I can speak, studied Latin but can’t use it for anything, terrible with numbers but decent with words, and am your pub trivia team’s secret weapon you didn’t ask for.

About me
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! If you're in Nashville and want to meet up, let me know!
