Is Boston a safe place to travel ?
Im a 21 year old, female, from California, and im going to visit some friends over in Boston in October. Im going to stay for about 1 week. Ive been wanting to go to Boston for the longest time, and now i finally got the chance to. My friends who live in Boston, can only get a couple of days off during my stay in Boston. I was just wondering if its safe to travel alone in Boston, while my friends are at work? And what are some fun things to do in Boston? Thanks so much for your help.

Answer 1 :
Yes. Boston is one of the safest major cities in the USA. That does not mean that there are unsafe neighborhoods. Roxbury is notorious for crime, Dorchester and Allston aren't much better. However, most of your touristy areas, except Chinatown are safe ( go in the day, it could get rough at night) . Also, don't do anything foolish, use common sense. October is a nice time to come as the fall foliage will be near peak. However, it can get chilly, something to take into account if you're from a warm climate. I have been alone through many areas in Boston without any problems, you should be fine.
Answer 2 :
It depends where in Boston theres some places that are bad and some that are good
Answer 3 :
Sure is, as long as you stay away from Mattapan, Roxbury, Dorchester and generally the southern areas you should be fine.
