10 Travel Destinations Safer at Night Than During the Day
There is something magical about Night Travel. The streets that come alive during the daytime become less chaotic and the bustle dies down. There is also a different atmosphere as the nights get cooler and more serene allowing you time to enjoy your travels.
You may not have realized this, but some places are safer at night than during the day. For starters, these 10 travel destinations offer you a safer and unique night time travel experience than most others.
Venice, Italy
A city like no other with fabulous winding canals and ancient architecture, is Venice. During the day, it can be packed with tourists making the narrow streets feel claustrophobic and dangerous due to petty crime. Venice however, is serene at night. The crowds thin out and you can revel in the alleyways and have the piazzas all to yourself.
Tokyo, Japan
Naturally, its nightlife is also a part of Tokyo’s reputation for being one of the safest cities in the world. The day is filled busy streets, but at night are quieter. One of the main advantages of Japan’s low crime rates is that Tokyo’s late night convenience stores, karaoke bars and side streets are infinitely safer to walk around than in the day time when they are full of people. Also, without fail, after dark, the city’s efficient public transportation keeps things moving smoothly.
Vienna, Austria
It’s undeniable that some of Vienna’s historic charm is overwhelming, and can be a little too crowded during the day. This Austrian capital, however, is much quieter at night, and even safer. You can stroll through the old city center without the hordes of tourists and it’s perfectly lit up. It’s easy to explore the city’s well-lit streets, and locals often like to go for a walk at night time.
Helsinki, Finland
Even during the day, Finland’s capital is calm. Helsinki is tranquil during the day, but at night it is much more. The residential neighborhoods are so crime-free that you can explore under twilight skies in relative safety. You feel just as secure, if not more, walking along the waterfront or parks at night as during the day.
Singapore
Singapore is globally renowned for its strict laws and well-organized urban environment. It is a safe place at all hours. But the cooler evenings coax locals and tourists alike for night shopping, eating, and strolling. Night markets in the city and the promenade on the waterfront are more relaxed and safer than in the daytime.
Dubrovnik, Croatia
During the day, Dubrovnik is a stunning city, though at a price. You’ve got hordes of tourists and crowded streets and you are always jostling for space. The city itself is patrolled well and the locals take evening walks on the ancient city walls, making for surprisingly peaceful and safe times explorations.
Reykjavik, Iceland
Small Reykjavik packs a lot and at night it is much calmer. Wandering around after dark gives you a beautiful and magical view of the city at a time when there is less hustle and bustle. It’s well-lit streets and low crime rate will have even solo travelers enjoying the city’s quirky street art and cute cafes. If you’re lucky, you might get to see the Northern Lights!
Seoul, South Korea
According to BBC, Seoul is a city that never sleeps and is famous for its 24-hour culture. Some areas particularly those popular with tourists are safer at night, but it’s busy during the day. Neon-lit streets are safe to wander, with every police and CCTV camera in sight, and no fear of pickpockets or overcrowding. Plus, most of the city’s attractions stay open late, so you won’t be stuck in the rush that the crowd brings.
Montreal, Canada
Montreal is a lively and adventurous city even more so at night. Some neighborhoods might be crowded to visit in the day but after the sun goes down there’s a safer feel to the city as the bars and nightclubs take over. In the Old Port area, street performers and lively music mix well with a relaxed atmosphere on the Port. Relatively low crime here, and well-patrolled nightlife, so travelers can feel good about that.
Amsterdam, Netherlands
Amsterdam is famous for its canals, museums, and for its daytime pickpockets, particularly the latter in crowded tourist areas. At night, however, when the city’s famous Red Light District and surrounding neighborhoods are well-lit and heavily monitored making it much safer. By late evening, the cafes, street markets, and canal walks are far less crowded making for the perfect atmosphere for a night time adventure.
