Clifton village is LOVELY! I’m staying in saint Paul’s area which is a little sketchy but more “alternative” I wouldn’t recommend this area at night time But it’s really close to the bus station and to walk downtown. I felt safe but just be aware

I visited Bristol almost two years ago. I organized my trip through an agency and attended a school, traveling in a group with my friends. I felt almost always safe, even when walking alone. From the first day, I was always out and about, occasionally returning to my host mom's place. I explored everything, from churches to huge green parks, museums to shops. Being my first time in the UK, I couldn't resist entering any store. Bristol's main street is full of little shops, and I will never forget the four-story Primark, which wasn't in Italy at the time. Once you understand the bus...

I feel like most cities, depending on where you are and at what time really affects how safe it is. You don't want to be around Stokes Croft and Turbo Island at night in Bristol. During the day, pretty much everywhere is safe and it's super diverse here. People are always willing to help, and it's a very LGBTQ+ safe city.

Bristol is overall a really cool and safe place but it definitely has its tougher spots. I’ve never had any trouble when walking alone but I will always try and uber or cycle to avoid long distances outside in the dark. The theft rate is on the up similar to London. Phones being snatched and bikes being stolen are a daily occurrence. I will say though when you stay in the safe areas and on main roads you are completely fine. Bristol is full of lush people and is a vibrant city to explore for a couple of nights. Just keep an eye on your things.

This is a small, rural community. I do not lock my doors and leave my keys in my car. Crime is very low. This is the least populated county in Florida. It is very quiet and peaceful here. I have lived here all my life.

Hi, i'm Kessie from bristol! I love getting creative, getting active adventuring and getting a little bit naughty! Think walking places you don't know if you should be going, climbing over fences, exploring new places... Asking for forgiveness over asking permission 😅. I love yoga, Surf, a delicious glass of wine morning, gym sessions, rooftop, cocktail bars, and places with live music! When i'm travelling, I love talking to and meeting people who want to do similar activities. Go on day trips in excursions, hire scooters and adventure or go do a cookery course or dance class. I'd love to connect with you!
