I had a wonderful time in Belfast. The people are friendly, food was delicious, lots of shops and attractions. I generally felt pretty safe, though didn’t go out late at night since I don’t do that when I travel. I would definitely visit again.

London, Family travel
It was only a weekend trip to see the ABBA Voyage experience, so we didn’t have much time to explore. London is not a cheap city but neither is most major cities in Europe. I enjoyed my time there and generally felt pretty safe, though I was always around some of the people I travelled with.

First time (and so far, only time) solo travelling and it was the most amazing experience ever! Met a lot of awesome people, tried authentic middle eastern and chinese food for the first time. Very friendly people, didnt have a problem with pickpockets or scams. Stumbled upon a pro-palestine protest and regained my hope in humanity, would definitely go again!!

Edinburgh is a very safe city for solo travel. The public transportation system is easy to navigate. There are so many castles and estates to explore. Don’t miss the highland cows. I highly recommend.

Oxford, Group travel
Did a study abroad trip to Oxford when in college. It was a great first experience traveling without family and doing it with a group but still solo in a way. My friends enjoyed Cafe Tarifa as a hot spot to visit. This was a long time ago so not sure if there still there. Try your hand at punting in the river for a fun activity.

Such a lovely medieval city with lots of good stores and restaurants/tearooms/pubs, beautiful nature and nice attractions! The people are really friendly, I made lots of local friends during my stay. Totally worth the travel

It’s relatively safe during the days, even on foot. may see the odd few people staring or sitting by the doorstep, but in general, walking home at night is not always a big issue and so far I’ve made it home safely amidst rowdy crowds

Overall, Glasgow is a very specific place and politically the UK is quite fragile right now! There has been a spike in crime with almost every night something happening around the city centre. Be mindful when walking alone at night and stick to public areas! 🙂

Newcastle-upon-Tyne
Safe city in the Northeast of England. It can get a bit rowdy in the city centre on the weekends, late at night. There is a 'drinking culture' in this part of the country and some anti social behaviour. Overall, people are very friendly.

It has its moments would not recommend going out at night by yourself, if you keep yourself to yourself it’s okay, majority it’s okay. Lot of homesless people around so don’t go near them as most of them are drunk

Carlisle can be nice. I personally live in a nice quiet and perfectly safe area surrounded by lovely neighbours. Some other areas such as raffles can be rather rough and the crime there can be quite high although I don’t have a lot of information about it. The police could definitely do a lot more to resolve this.

I regularly walk alone after midnight between city centre and strongly safe areas. I have lived in Edinburgh for 14 years and I have not personally experienced any crime, scam or harassment as a women. However no city is crime free, so please take any relevant measures to ensure your safety.
