Be Safe in Bath

Bath is a safe city to visit. The large number of tourists and university students generate a friendly and vigorous feel to the city, and crime rates are much below the England average. Bath city centre is lively and bustling until late on Friday and Saturday evenings.

Safety

Homeless beggars sometimes hang around the parks and abbey in groups. You may see them drinking lager and they occasionally shout at passers-by, However, for the most part, theyre harmless and not pushy therefore tourists have no reason to be intimidated.
