Solo travel

I went there during Mardi Gras and I really enjoyed it. There are parades, good music and entertainment and friendly people. However, what I recommend is to be careful with some boys when they talk to you because even if they seems friendly and harmless - this includes also people who could pass for your older brother since they may be 10-15 years older than you - their intentions are not always genuine and maybe they’re not just looking to be just friends with a tourist or foreigner because...

Overall I felt pretty safe in the areas I visited. However I was super cautious about what streets I walked down and what time of day it was. There was only one time that things felt a bit uneasy. I walked to a restaurant as the sun was setting so it was dark out when I left. It turns out it was not a great area. That was the only time I didn’t do lots of research on the area beforehand.

Safety depends on the area. However, it is a very welcoming place for all cultures and solo travel. Exceptional food. Great bars and lounges for all scenes whether you want upscale lounge, dive bar, or live music.

I arrived in the city of New Orleans from France (Strasbourg). At first, I was a little scared since it was my first time going to the American continent. I arrived in New Orleans. I really liked the city, it's super festive. If you're going to stay a few days, I recommend staying downtown. There are many hostels and hotels. The nightlife and festivities are from Monday to Monday.

I’m not gonna lie every city has its problems and New Orleans crime is slowly declining we’re still needing improvements . Right time right place is our motto natives know what it is. The tourist are not always aware

Overall I've found New Orleans to be safe, especially in the Irish Channel/Garden District. The French Quarter is moderate, as to be expected from a large city center that attracts a lot of tourists. If you keep aware of your surroundings, you'll be fine. Try to utilize the buddy system at night to be sure of avoiding unsafe areas.

new orleans can be safe as long as you stay in well lighted areas and with a group of people. also do not drink too much and wander off. if you follow these rules and pay attention to your surroundings you wholly be okay.

Safety in New Orleans depends on what neighborhood you are in and what time of day you go out. The French Quarter can be very fun during the day however at night it does get to be a little sketchy. Neighborhoods like mid city and the garden district are wonderful all day long.
