There are activities for all kinds of people to enjoy on their own, and it’s not considered unusual to do activities alone or go out to eat alone. So many people are jammed up against each other in New York that it’s common for residents to seek solitude outside their homes, not inside them.

It’s a city built for the solitary person. New York is fantastic for other reasons, too. That wouldn’t be the case if it were too dangerous for women on their own.

Millions of women from around the world call New York their home millions more women visit each year, many of them solo. I believe that with the proper research and preparation, almost anywhere in the world can be safely traveled by a woman on her own. And that goes for New York, too. And I would know: I’m a travel writer specializing in solo female travel who lives in New York City. Since moving here, dozens if not hundreds of women have asked me the same question: I want to visit New York, but is it safe if I go alone?

Is it safe for a woman to travel to New York alone? Absolutely. Share on Twitter Share on Facebook Share on Pinterest Share on Email
