Weekends in most cities are dangerous.

Downtown is not that bad. It used to be very bad, but with the new development around the downtown area, with building of a new baseball stadium and a basketball stadium as well as several theaters and civic building, the safety is much better.
If you go there on a day time and on a day when there is a decent crowd - when there is a baseball game or basketball game, a convention at George Brown Convention Center, a opera or major concert, etc, it is perfectly safe. There are plenty of parking and parking is relatively cheap.
Just have to use general street smart like you would in any big city downtown. Don't flash your money, take a friend if possible, I have never been too concerned about going to downtown.

different than the MidTown or Galleria section, Downtown isn't undesirable in any respect. i'm an area Houstonian and that i've got labored downtown for some years. I additionally understand lots of people who stay downtown. The highrise which you reported isn't he suitable yet i does not say that's risky the two. individually i could choose the Ballpark part of downtown (east nearest Minute Maid Park or the George R Brown convention middle) OR a loft yet i'm uncertain what your funds would be like as a scholar. which could definitely shrink your concepts. Midtown somewhat is astounding however. It became in the process the full Enron growth that this particular section grew to become usually happening and prospers nevertheless immediately with lovable eating places, shops and persons. that's a great spot to stay. The Galleria section is impressive too yet extra out of your college. in simple terms understand that in case you could say which you reside downtown then which will advise which you have get admission to to the RAIL. a great transportation mode in case you like having straightforward accessibility to the museums and each and all the eating places and night existence. As for downtown being risky properly i does not say that's any much less secure than the different vast city. It additionally relies upon on in case you prefer to take strolls in the lifeless of night all via your self. that's all approximately how vulnerable you're making your self. in simple terms use some solid basic experience and be careful and you'll be in simple terms wonderful. solid success alongside with your pass and your analyze! - community Jay

I'm a girl and I've walked around the city at night before. There are some sketchy places, but you can tell right away whether it's going to be a bad place. Just use your best judgement. I think downtown is safer than some of the outskirts.

It just depends on where you go. You can get a "sense" of the areas you are in and can tell pretty easily. I wouldn't worry too much.

I would say that it is safe to take pictures. Be cautious like you would in any big city.
