Is New York Safe for Solo Female Travelers?

Solo travel

Went to new york for 4 days for the first time and it was rainy the day I landed till the day before I left. I did not enjoy like I wanted to due to the weather but it was good I will definitely be back.

Group travel

It was the best experience of my life especially since I went during Christmas time, it has always been my dream to go to New York especially during the most of December (it was really packed) but overall would 100% go again and spend time in a different month to see more of it. It was the best time of my life.

Family travel

I went to attend my cousin’s wedding and it was amazing. There were dozens of places I wanted to check out but didn’t have any time for. The Natural History Museum is as amazing as I remember it was when I was a kid and the Williamsburg shopping district was a lot of fun to browse. We sort of lucked out with the weather because it was beautiful and sunny the day of the outdoor ceremony when it was a downpour the day before. So your mileage may vary during the spring. One thing to note is that...

Love it! Such a lively and beautiful city ✨ I look forward to going back and trying a lot more food places and visiting more attractions. The subway experience is never dull I love to see the different performers.

New york is a bit safe I would say. Giving that it is the city that never sleeps. I saw a vendor selling fruits etc on the street at 3am, so I think it is safe to say that New York is partially safe..

New York has been very welcoming very safe for me. I’ve met a lot of fun people and attended some really cool events. Getting around is easy enough but takes a lot longer than I initially expected. The food is absolutely amazing.

Very safe. Keep in public and well lit areas. Stay around others when on the train. Do not interact with mentally unstable and homeless people too much. Keep your distance. Hold on to your purse and personal belongings

The tourist-oriented areas of NYC are relatively safe, both during the day and at night. Obviously, watch your personal belongings at all times (do not leave them unattended), but you can walk comfortably through the streets. The worst I've personally seen are rowdy people on the subway and cat calls on side streets at nighttime.
