Is Sacramento Safe for Solo Female Travelers?

It honestly depends on where in Sacramento you’ll be. West/central Sacramento is pretty dangerous overall, and you’ll typically see weird stuff on the light rails (buses are def better than light rails if you can manage that). North east part is a lot better, but you definitely still get a bit of crime and break ins. I like to have the citizen app so that I know what’s going on in the area. I would recommend not being in downtown at night, or if you are stay to the main roads. And 99% of the time if there’s someone trying to talk to you or anything they’ll stop if you just don’t look at or say anytning to them and carry on with whatever you’re doing (only had like two people that didn’t just move on when they realized I would look or talk to them.) It’s when you acknowledge them that things can go south I’ve noticed. Basically plan day stuff, and if you want to do stuff in downtown at night make sure you take a bus that’s in a public area if you don’t have a car. Light rails work and are fast, but they rarely have security, so it’s a gamble.

I dont believe you’ll be likely to run into any problems, likely some catcalling, unfortunately sometimes men get handsy. I believe for the most part as long as you are aware of you’re surroundings and careful you are pretty unlikely to run into any serious issues. Sacramento is fun and lively! especially downtown there lots of food bars and clubs and much amazing food! I recommend hanging out in midtown.
