Exeter, UK | One of Britain's Safest Cities
For travelers with extra time, consider staying 2 days to explore nearby towns like Topsham. Exeter is filled with historic architecture—even ordinary street-side houses often hold centuries of stories. Having lived here for two years and visited many UK cities, I can confidently say Exeter ranks among Britain's safest urban areas.
