I'm going to Philadelphia with my husband on a business trip. We will be staying in Center City. Will it be |
Travel Info safe for me to walk around by myself during the day? Travel Tips Yes. Just like any other major city. 99% of the people will ignore you, the other 1% will be checking you out. Center City is fine, the historical areas are fine, be careful if you wander over by UPenn. Others depends where u go Only if you have a plan as to where you'll be going, what time frame and ask at the hotel what they would recommend. Have you cell phone ready and enjoy the wonderful city of brotherly love. As long as you stay on the main roads you should be ok, I've walked around the side alleys at night and didn't have any problems, I've never taken the subways though, so I don't know if that is safe. Of course, I am sure there are many bad neighborhoods in Philadelphia, I've seen some pretty bad neighborhoods in DC and San Francisco. Just keep an eye out is all...it's just like everything else, a little common sense goes a long way. Center City itself is usually fine, especially if it's during the day. Walnut Street is packed with shops and restaraunts, which means it's also packed with people. I don't know how far you plan on walking, but pretty much just stay clear of the colleges (Temple, UPenn, Drexel U). It's not necessarily the students, but just the areas they're in are a bit sheisty. You'd actually have to stray pretty far from City Hall on foot before you really ran into any trouble though. Just be smart, but enjoy the City. You should be fine. There are a lot of people who walk around center city during the day. There are some areas of the city that you may not want to walk around much though. Center City is the safest place in Philadelphia. It is very safe. |
