Last updated on April 24, 2023
Traveling while black in Europe over the last seven years, I have experienced far more wow moments and fuzzy feelings than negative experiences. I won’t let incidents like being refused service at a tapas bar in Spain and getting stalked by a middle-aged man in Croatia taint the priceless moments I’ve had. Still, black tourists like myself, unfortunately, have to deal with unpleasant treatment on a continent that touts its progressiveness. But Europe is a vast place with plenty of black-friendly destinations where you can feel right at home. In this post, I’m going to share the 5 friendliest countries in Europe for black travelers. This list is based on my experiences as well as those of other avid travelers who are black.
Which black travelers am I referring to?
I make it a point to acknowledge how your nationality affects your travel experiences as a black person. Having an American or British passport could, for instance, save you from a long interrogation at border patrols. Although I have experienced race-motivated mistreatment, I also know that being an American citizen has been an advantage when navigating Europe. For instance, when I would go to exchange money anywhere in Spain, presenting my American passport would lead to polite conversation and smiles. I also encountered the same hospitality in Greece and Italy, countries that you’ll typically find on lists of the most racist places in Europe. It’s as if my passport is a sort of magic wand that instantly puts service people on their best behavior (most of the time.) For the purpose of this article, I am mostly referring to black travelers from the West – African Americans, Black Brits, and the like. Without further ado, here are the best countries for black tourists in Europe, in no particular order.
5 Black-Friendly European Countries You’ll Love
Portugal
Portugal is hands down the most underrated country in Europe. It doesn’t get as much love as its next-door neighbor, Spain, but should not be overlooked! Where do I even begin? Well, let’s go back to my first visit to Portugal. It was 2012, and I was studying abroad in the Spanish Basque Country. My friends decided to take a weekend trip to Lisbon, and I reluctantly tagged along. ‘What happens in Lisbon?’ I thought. In my head, Lisbon was just some random port city. Boy was I wrong! I remember riding the trolley up the steep, colorful streets and thinking ‘Wow!’ At night, my friend and I went to a giant street party in the Bairro Alto neighborhood, where we were staying. We ran into two Italian men who asked us to get to their hotel after chatting for an hour. Hell to the no! Watch out for the unscrupulous men hanging around Bairro Alto at night.
When in Lisbon, you must eat seafood rice and the famous pastel de nata, or egg tarts. Pasteis de Belem has been serving its golden egg tarts since 1837. Honestly, I didn’t think they were as good as the Chinese egg tarts I eat in LA, but they were good. Pasteis de Belem, which you can visit as part of a 3-hour tour of Belem that I’d highly recommend, also sells meat pies and other pastries that are better than the pastel de nata. For seafood rice, I’d recommend Estrela da Baixa, a mom-and-pop location that a local told me about. You can find seafood rice in almost any restaurant, but the quality will vary. Estrela da Baixa will not disappoint.
Pasteis de Belem: R. de Belém 84-92, 1300-085 Lisboa, Portugal
Estrela da Baixa: Rua da Conceição 11, 1100-500 Lisboa, Portugal
My second visit to Portugal was with my sister in 2016, when I was living in Madrid. We took a day trip to Sintra, just 2 hours from Lisbon. Sintra is like a kingdom with a collection of palaces, mansions, villas, and other creations of King Ferdinand II. There, you’ll find the out-of-this-world Pena Palace, which is located at the top of the Sintra mountains. It takes about 45 minutes to drive up there, but the views are insane! From Sintra, we stopped at Cabo de Roca, the southernmost point in Europe. My sister and I did this epic day trip from Lisbon with Get Your Guide, visiting the Pena Palace, the town of Sintra, Cascais, and Cabo de Roca in about 8 hours. These places are all close to each other, making it easy to see them all in one day.
In addition to Lisbon, my sister and I made a trip up north to Porto. Along the way, we stopped at Aveiro and Fatima. If you’re Catholic, you may have heard about the Miracle at Fatima. Well, it was in Fatima that the Virgin Mary is said to have appeared to three children. Anyway, back to Porto. This city is famous for two things: wine and a sandwich called Fransecinha. For the famous port wine, try Taylor’s Port winery. It’s a bit tricky to find so you may want to join a wine-tasting tour. For Fransecinha, a sandwich with layers of ham, eggs, and melted cheese, I’d head to Cafe Santiago.
Taylor’s Port: Rua do Choupelo 250, 4400-088 Vila Nova de Gaia, Portugal
Cafe Santiago: R. de Passos Manuel 226, 4000-382 Porto, Portugal
My third visit to Lisbon was a solo trip in the summer of 2018. There were ex-pats everywhere. I mean the streets were brimming with them. I guess the secret is out – Lisboa is not only stunning, but it’s also one of the most affordable cities to live in Europe. I’m glad I got to experience it before gentrification. Despite the influx of foreigners, Lisbon still maintains the qualities that make it special: the easygoing vibe, warm people, delicious food, colorful architecture, and, of course, those classic trolleys.
Austria
The hills are alive in this gorgeous country sandwiched in the middle of Central Europe. What initially drew me to Austria was the fact that The Sound of Music was filmed here. I watched that movie all the time as a kid so I wanted to go see the filming locations. When I visited the city of Salzburg, just two hours east of Munich, I immediately fell in love. Despite the fact that it was still snowing in April, this city was so quaint and charming.
Salzburg is a small city so you can actually see it in two days. The must-see places are the Hohensalzburg Fortress, the Mirabelle Palace, and the birthplace of Mozart. Be sure to try Wienerschnitzel, a breaded veal dish. I had it at the restaurant inside Hohensalzburg Fortress, which has breathtaking views of the city.
Beyond Salzburg, you can take a day trip to the picturesque village of Hallstatt. This little village is one of those places that look like somewhere out of a painting. You can also go experience the opera in the capital, Vienna. Some say Vienna’s boring while others rave about it. I personally have no interest in visiting Vienna just because I’m done with European capitals.
Hungary
Hungary is the coolest place in Eastern Europe by a mile. The Czech Republic may be slightly prettier, but the people struck me as cold and humorless. Maybe it was because I went in February, but it was nearly impossible to find anyone in a cheerful mood. In Hungary, on the other hand, the people were more open and welcoming.
I decided to visit Hungary after befriending a woman from Budapest while living in Madrid. Initially, I was skeptical about going solo. Up to that point, the only other place I had visited in Eastern Europe was the Czech Republic, and I had gone with a friend. Given the frosty reception we received, I was worried that Hungary might be similar. Wrong! Budapest turned out to be a blast, and I found the Hungarians to be approachable. I ended up making a ton of friends and having a really enjoyable weekend.
When in Budapest, you definitely have to visit the bathhouses! You’ve probably seen a ton of photos of the famous Schenzenyi Baths on Instagram. Budapest has more bathhouses than any other European city so there are tons of other options. Also, check out Gellert Baths and Rudas Baths. There’s a ton to do in Budapest so I would recommend at least 3-5 days to experience the city.
Szechenyi Thermal Bath: Budapest, Állatkerti krt. 9-11, 1146 Hungary
Gellert Thermal Bath: Budapest, Kelenhegyi út 4, 1118 Hungary
Rudas Thermal Bath: Budapest, Döbrentei tér 9, 1013 Hungary
When it comes to food, you need to try a famous dessert called Langosh. It is D-E-L-I-C-I-O-U-S! The receptionist at my hostel recommended a little shop called Retró Lángos Büfé and I thought it was great. You may also want to try Hungarian Goulash. In the center of the city, there’s a long street called Vaci Utca, which is lined with restaurants. I would go far down the street to find the cheaper and less touristy restaurants.
Retró Lángos Büfé: Budapest, Podmaniczky Frigyes tér 4, 1054 Hungary
Lots of restaurants: Budapest, Vaci Utca, 1056 Hungary
Denmark
Ah, Denmark. I guess Denmark is special to me because it’s the first country I ever visited outside the US and Nigeria. I first visited in the spring of 2011, when it was blistering cold. Still, I was charmed by the gingerbread-like houses and grand castles. Scandinavia, which consists of Denmark, Sweden, Norway, and Finland, is known for its very high standard of living and happy people. This is where you can get 400 days of paid maternity leave. No wonder why they’re happy.
Copenhagen, the capital, is where you’ll find a lot of unique attractions. Case in point: there is a community called Freetown Christiania that declared independence from the Danish government. The area is home to about 1,000 people and is famous for being an enclave for alternative lifestyles (as well as drugs.) Christiania is a popular tourist destination nowadays. When I visited, I found it super sketchy and felt uncomfortable. Would I recommend visiting Christiania? If you’re curious, sure. But there isn’t much to write home about, to be honest.
There are less sketchy ways to spend your time in Copenhagen. If you visit during the summer, you should go to Tivoli Gardens, which is the second-largest amusement park in Europe. The place is just gorgeous, with a large garden and a palace. You’ll also run into performances by some marching bands. I didn’t actually go on any rides, but they looked tame. Nothing close to Six Flags or even Disneyland.
In Copenhagen, there’s a famous statue of the Little Mermaid, whose creator was from Denmark. Lastly, you have to stop by the iconic Nyhavn canal to snap some photos. Surrounded by boats and colorful houses, the Nyhavn is the picture you always see in postcards.
Scotland
I’ve developed a dislike for England for a couple of reasons:
- I am consistently harassed by the border agents at London airports. It has happened three times so far. That can’t be a coincidence.
- There is a strong superiority complex and condescending attitude toward Americans among the English. Of course, this isn’t always the case, but I’ve experienced it enough times to know that anti-Americanism is strong on these shores.
- They say when a man tires of London, he tires of life. Really? Then I must be really tired of life. London is one of my least favorite places in England. In fact, I’ve actually preferred my visits to the smaller cities and towns that most people have never heard of. Please, even Londoners will tell you that the city isn’t what it used to be. Be sure to go somewhere outside of London on your visit to the UK – anywhere!
- I would talk about the depressing weather, but they have no control over that so I’ll give them a break.
Given my not-so-pleasant experiences in England, Scotland was a breath of fresh air. I visited for the first time in the summer of 2018 and was so impressed. The people were actually nice. Gasp. They are also fiercely proud of their country and history, which is always nice to see. I took a tour of the Scottish Highlands, and my tour guide showed up in a kilt sans underwear. How do I know? He said so. Apparently, it is tradition for men who wear kilts to go commando. Oh, Scotland! Fellow blogger Gloria also experienced the Scottish sense of humor.
Most of my time in Scotland was spent in Edinburgh, where you’ll find a ton of things to do. First is the Royal Mile, the main street in Edinburgh. It’s where you’ll find a lot of iconic buildings, shops, street performances, and more. Edinburgh Castle, which sits on a hill in the Old Town, is located along the Royal Mile. Getting from the Old Town to the New Town just requires crossing some tunnel-like pathways and walking down the stairs. While in the New Town, visit Grassmarket for traditional Scottish food and vintage shopping. If you love gardens like me, you won’t want to miss Princes Street Gardens. Absolutely stunning!
I went to Edinburgh in August when the Fringe Festival was going on so there was even more to do. The Fringe Festival is an annual arts festival that happens every August. Comedians, singers, poets, dancers, and all types of artists put on shows around the city for about three weeks. August is a good time to visit because of the festival and the favorable weather. By favorable, I mean there’s rain instead of snow. Scottish weather is probably worse than English weather, but the hospitality of the people and the beautiful highlands make up for it.
There you have it – the five friendliest European countries for black travelers. Have you visited any of these countries? What other friendly countries would you add to the list?

Travel Essentials I Can’t Live Without
The CabinZero 36L Backpack – this trusty backpack has been my go-to luggage for both domestic and international trips since 2018. I’ve used dozens of backpacks over the years and keep coming back to this one. I almost never check in luggage so I need a carry-on bag that is spacious, sturdy, and comfortable, with a laptop compartment. The Cabin Zero 36 L fits the bill. The size makes it small enough for a weekend getaway and big enough for a month of backpacking in Europe. The bag also comes with a tracker in case it gets lost. How convenient! Check out my complete review of the backpack.
Travel WiFI Pocket WIFI Device – With portable WiFi, you can say goodbye to ridiculous roaming charges and SIM cards for good. I’ve been using the Travel WiFi Portable Hotspot device for years and love the peace of mind it gives me. The device provides 3G-4G WiFi for at least 6 hours and works in 100+ countries. In my experience, it lasts 9 hours. It also works in a variety of landscapes and terrains. I even filmed a Facebook Live from a boat in the Atlantic Ocean using my device. I can also use Google Maps, request an Uber, call my mom, and do tons of other things I couldn’t do before. Quick tip: turn off the device when you’re not using it so that the battery can last longer.
Booking.com – Booking.com is my go-to website for booking discounted accommodations around the world. What I love most about Booking.com is the variety of properties you can find, from luxury apartments to treehouses to university housing. It’s hard to beat the insanely low prices. The website also has a flexible cancellation policy, which is great if things come up or you change your mind.
Somto Ugwueze
Hi! I'm Somto. In 2015, I stopped making excuses, ditched my indecisive friends, and started booking flights. Today, I'm a full-time solo traveler on a mission to inspire young women to seek new adventures.
I’ve always wanted to travel to Europe but I’m always concerned about how the people there will perceive me. That you for your list!
Hi Abina,
You’re welcome. Don’t worry about how people will perceive you. Just focus on the things you want to get out of your trips. You’ll find that most people are actually really nice.
You’re so right about border agents in England. I had an experience with a nasty one at Stanstead and she was black. I almost cursed her out.
Hi Kyean,
I’m so sorry to hear about your experience. I’ve run into a nasty border agent at Stanstead, too. I didn’t have a negative experience during my last time at that airport so there’s hope.
The list is not accurate 100% Denmark, Portugal and Hungary are okay for black travellers to be honest. But Austria and Scotland might not good for black peole. I will substitude those countries and replace them by the Netherlands and Sweden.
Hello. We were in Scotland in 2018 and I would go back in a second! My husband is French and biracial and we are used to crabby French folks so found Scotland to be wonderful!
Also have been to Austria. My cousins go every summer. He went to school there for a semester. they love it and I loved it.
Netherlands is great as well. So we will try Denmark as our first Scandanavian country.
My mother was stopped in the middle of a shoulder to shoulder Heathrow airport. We were literally standing in middle of a croweded airport .I believe this guy asked for her passport and disappeared somewhere. I was around 13 and knew/believed this was racially motivated. Thankfully, he showed up with the passport(s) before we had to leave.
Hi Tash,
Yes, some nations have evolved their judgments for racism. I’m glad your mother luckily avoided any inconvenience.
Brother please educate me more on this, why do you said such..
It might be black Male vs female issues.
Georgia is favorable.
I agree with Austria extremely racists!
I agree, Portugal have been shouting blacks as target practice, straight to the head executioner style, just google it. And yes Sweden and the Netherlands way more tolerant.
You are right, Cassandra.
You are right, Cassandra.
I used to live in Germany, many moons a go and liked it. I have a cousin who lives there…going on 40 years, he loves it! I would like to travel to Scotland one day! Thank you for posting your incredible travel journals.
You should be. How they perceive you will determine how they treat y ou. And if you’re there looking for a job in your fields and happen to be in any of the STEM fields, their perception of you based on appearance will determine whether you get considered for the job or not.
Or it could determined if you get robbed; or raped; or how the police treat the reporting of such incidents. In other words, EVERYTHING that happens to you will be determined by how they perceive you.
Hi Sugwueze,
I found your website while thinking about moving to Spain. I’ve visited Madrid and Barcelona and enjoyed Madrid. I’m an 40+ African American Californian. I had no issues while there for a week as a tourist, however, I would like to know how it will be living there. As far as your list above for the 5 friendliest countries, I’ve been to Denmark (Copenhagen) and Scotland. I wasn’t impressed with London. Portugal is on my list. I never gave Hungary a thought but have considered Austria and Germany., What are your impressions of Germany? Have you been there?
Hi Shirley,
I’ve been to Germany twice – Berlin, Munich, and Potsdam. I really enjoyed my experience there. No issues with discrimination whatsoever. Germans tend to keep to themselves and go about their business. Although I liked visiting Germany, I think the culture would be a bit too rigid and reserved for me. The stereotype about Germans being humorless is based on some truth. People don’t tend to express their emotions in public, like in Spain.
I’ve been to Austria too and thought it was just beautiful! Salzburg is one of my favorite cities. Keep in mind that Austrians are culturally similar to Germans. I wasn’t impressed with London either! Besides the Indian food, everything was so underwhelming. If you speak any romance language, then I’d definitely recommend Portugal. I think Lisbon is the most underrated city in Europe, and Porto is a haven for wine lovers. I also think the Portuguese are more tolerant and welcoming than the Spanish.
You are correct about Germans. They are very structured and rigid. The younger people are a little more welcoming. I remember the times I rode the bus, no one was talking to each other and when someone did say something, it was in their quiet voice…now I see why other countries view Americans as being so loud! Lol
Hi Cyd, what a cool observation you had! Thanks for sharing!
Hello. What is it like living in America as a black person? I’m curious.
It depends on what part of the US. Southern states, and some Midwestern cities is where you will find still more open racist than the upper Northeast and Western Cities, except for Arizona.
Great, despite what you see on tv, what you see on the news is misleading. You have more polices and laws to protect your rights in The US compared to other countries. Blacks can be and do anything we want here in America.
I’m a black woman that has lived in America my entire life. My parents immigrated here from West Africa before I was born. Your experience in America will depend on where you decide to live. In big cities, the experience is much better and the areas are more diverse. In the south and Midwest, there are mostly white people and it is a lot more likely that you will experience racism there. I have only lived in states like California, Florida, and Virginia. These areas are diverse so I had a good experience.
Hungary is not friendly towards black people. I was threatened there many times.
Oh no! I’m sorry to hear about your experience. I found the Hungarians to be very friendly, but the experience is different for everyone.
Curious. When you travel in Europe do you visit smaller towns or villages? And specifically, in Hungary? We travel as a mixed family.
Hi Debbie, I’ve visited smaller towns and villages in Spain, Portugal, Italy, and other parts of southern Europe. When I went to Hungary, I only visited Budapest.
So which is the best place to live in? Am in hull, people are ok but would like to see more diversity. How is Edinburgh? Also safety issues as I have kids
Hi Lisa,
I’ve only been to Edinburgh and loved it. It’s a charming city with lots of things to do. I didn’t experience any safety issues at all. I think Edinburgh would be a great place to visit with kids. In terms of living there, I can’t say because I haven’t done that.
There’s a huge difference between being a black “American” or British, traveler with loads of money and a return ticket and credit and debit cards that work and family and friends back home you can ring and have money sent if you are robbed – and needing a job and trying to LIVE here.
WORLDS of difference.
Hello I want to know for Ireland
Hi Paschal, Ireland is a beautiful, quiet country and a great place to take a solo trip. Make sure you visit the Cliffs of Moher. Breathtaking!
Hi
I am an African American female, I am planning a 10-12 day European trip with 3 tweens next year in August. We are flying into London, traveling to Paris finally to Germany. My question is what is the best place for African Americans in Germany? I was told we should fly back to Chicago from Munich Germany.
Dr. W
Hi Lesa,
I think the big cities in Germany are a good place to start – Berlin, Munich, Hamburg, Frankfurt, Dresden, to name a few. That said, I’ve traveled through small towns in Germany by myself and not had any issues. I think you should be fine anywhere you decide to go. Hope that helps!
In all fairness to the way Berlin treated me, I’d have to say that if you are actually an American then you won’t mind what I call the rubbish treatment so I’d say “anywhere.” If they treat you like an “American” then since you are one you have to take it.
But first they’ll treat you like “African” and yell things out in German and refuse to speak English to you even if they do. That’s the first thing. It goes downhill from there.
If you are there as a tourist and have tens of thousands of pounds in an account and all that, AND manage to not get robbed, then you will do….well not “fine” but “better than me.”
My fault for what happens to me everywhere I go, is that I guess I’m hell-bent on believing that Ireland is NOT the STATES. And the rest of the world doesn’t agree with me. In Mexico one time I even had to show the bloke that on a MAP. Sincerely believed that Ireland is in the States. I wish I were kidding.
I loved Portugal too. Italy not so much. Not so keen on Spain due to the touristy nature as I’ve got the feeling prices are ludicrously high.
The big cities in Spain – Barcelona, Madrid – Seville – are super touristy. You can venture out to medium-sized cities and towns, like Alicante, Salamanca, and Vigo, to escape the tourists.
Hi Somto. my dream country has been Canada years ago. how friendly are ppl therem
Canada is a great country, which you should definitely visit someday!
Canadians are okay, depending where you are in Canada.
I am a new subscriber and I am delighted to read poditive comments with open minded people. I’m so glad I found your 5 friendliest places to travel solo for African Americans. I love all people but its great to know that there are people who just embrace people no matter what color they.
Thanks, Doll (Maryland)
Hi Darlene, thanks for subscribing! You’re right. There are people out there who embrace all colors.
Wow amazing… have you tried to visit Ukraine.. I was planning to go but everyone keep saying don’t go because they don’t like black people.
Hi Maya, I’ve never been to Ukraine, but I’ve heard similar remarks about how they view black people. There’s nowhere in the world that’s free of prejudice so go if you want to. Just be prepared.
Well maybe that should be amended to “they hate Americans.” One of my girlfriends is Ukrainian. Or maybe just the men….no, some of my English students over Skype, are Ukrainians, in fact most of them are since I advertise in Russian for that service. As if you couldn’t tell by my name I married a Russian, but in all fairness to that the other Russians say that “he was a Jew so that’s why.” I’m not saying all Russians or all Ukrainians or all of any of the former-Soviets are one thing because after all there are 148 million of them.
I am (non black) Swiss and i find your list very interesting. Thank you. You are definitely right with Portugal. They are the friendliest and most relaxed people in Europe. I feel like on another continent when i go there 🙂
Good luck and safe holidays
Hi Nicola,
I absolutely love Portugal for precisely the reasons you mentioned. Good luck to you as well!
In Berlin I was told by a black Portuguese woman (from Brasil) the opposite. That Portugal was racist. But then she’s trying to LIVE there and not just visit as a tourist with tens of thousands of pounds in an account somewhere and family and friends back home to call if she gets robbed, sort of thing. Me, I think I’m living the life of a “refugee” only I’m IRISH.
I think in all things you just have to of course do your best research no matter where you go. I for one, had no problems in England , I really liked it and would like to go back. France was a little stuffy, but I would definitely return. Each person looks for different things when they travel. Therefore, it just boils down to having your own experience because no one’s opinion is absolute. Thank you for your blog because it’s very helpful.
You’re absolutely right. Everyone’s experience is different. This list is based purely on my own experiences in Europe. I’m glad you found my blog helpful!
My biggest problems in England were, as everywhere, being treated like “American” when I first got there and having a hard time finding a job or settling in anywhere. Being treated like I came there to spend money instead of being there to get a job. And that was back when they were “crying out for Maths teachers” especially in the Eastern part of the large cities.
And as for France, I’m half French Polynesian so a French citizen and I’ve been left on the streets to rot, literally. For 2 months rang the shelter hotline and got told constantly that there was nothing, and that they didn’t care if a woman slept on the streets. As if France is used to it and I suspect if anything happened to me (like rape) the police there wouldn’t care either. So for the moment don’t get me started on France; I need to file a complaint for human rights violations against France.
Hi, am single with no kids from Uganda and i was planning to move and stay in any European country for 5 years before i come back to my motherland. Which African-friendly European country would you recommend me to stay in for FIVE years!!?
Your feedback will be highly appreciated, thanks.
Hi Rose,
That’s an interesting question. I think it comes down to a couple of things:
1) Long term visa requirements
2) Job opportunities
3) Your lifestyle preferences.
4) Language
5) Cost of living.
Because I don’t know your background, I can’t give you a straight answer. I would assume you want a country where English is widely spoken so I would look more towards Western Europe. You can start by making a list of the European countries where you can see yourself living. The research the black expat experience there. I hope this helps.
I’m afraid there isn’t one, sorry. They’re all equally rubbish if you’re an actual African.
That being said, you want the one with the most jobs, I guess. I wouldn’t recommend any of the ones I’ve set foot in nor Spain, Portugal, Italy, Greece…maybe Holland? And that’s a big MAYBE.
None of them like “blacks” coming there to live and work. None. The UK may be the least of all those evils.
Europeans are Europeans
Please did you go to the netherlands, Groningen to be precise?
I’d like to know how the situation is there. thanks.
Hi Lams, I’ve been to the Netherlands a few times, but only to Amsterdam. I had a great experience there. The Dutch were quite friendly.
What is best friendly European countries for black skins as of 2020
Hi Sunday, I think this list still applies for 2020. I will update it in the future.
They’re even worse now that they’re all sick of the refugees and asylum-seekers they think are “flooding in.” They initially treat you like what nationality they think you “look like” and that’s an uphill battle to try to change.
Hello. I found your page very interesting. I am a black girl living in Japan and I am thinking of going to community college in the USA. I want to learn international relations and I want to go to a place that has diversity. Right now I have Chicago, NY, DC, the Carolinas, Washington and some of the southern states in mind. Are there any other places you would consider as a black-friendly environment or any other places you would recommend in general? Thank you.
Hi Lolo,
I think you would be fine in any major city in the United States. Chicago, New York, and DC are diverse. It mainly comes down to the neighborhood you choose to live in. I think you should start by researching schools that offer a strong international relations program. The DC area in particular has a lot of schools with strong programs.
Western States. I would not consider Carolina as friendly toward black. I know because I lived there until the age of 17. I Left and returned a few times for short family visit, (hard to stay long). It’s accepting to an extent in places because many Black Americans are in the south. Chicago is just a big segregated city. Washington DC is good, New York you have everyone so there should not be a problem, unless it’s with the Police. Boston is nothing but the Alabama and Mississippi of the north.
You should visit western cities, except Phoenix. Pretty racist.
Hi!
I wouldn’t recommend southern states during our present conditions. Especially for living. They are not as warm and welcoming as they used to be and they tend to hold strong opinions about black people. I live in Atlanta area, where the black population is strong, but still very marginalized. DC is amazing though! and brimming with opportunities
I’m from Scotland. I lived in the USA for most of my life and returned to Scotland. People are friendly and welcoming. Now about the weather..sigh. I currently live 20 miles south of Glasgow which is where I was born and spend a lot of my time. I also have stayed in Edinburgh and have many friends there.
Thanks for sharing your experience!
Hi. I’m from the west part of Africa, Nigeria precisely and a whole of people say bad things about Nigerians and its pretty hurting to be judged by the colour of your skin and the antecedent of events you knew nothing about..i love my colous and its amasing and pleasing to look different from the heart,mind and reflection. I’m chinedu Nwaede silas.
You are right, Nwaede. More power to you!
Thank you for all your information. My son is biracial and being in the us sometimes just doesn’t make us happy.
Hi Susan, thanks for your appreciation. I hope things go great with your family!
I had a trip planned to Greece for October 2020 but had to cancel due to COVID. I have always wanted to go to Greece. Then I read several articles about the racism/ignorance towards black people and I was disappointed. This article helps me because I really would like to visit Europeans countries when travel opens up again.
Hi Kiana, I am happy you found this article great to decide about your tour. I hope everything goes well!
This is a really interesting and helpful article. As someone who taught English in Europe and travelled all over before starting my family, it brought back some great memories! And the pictures are amazing. Makes me miss gulash and topfenstrudel mit Schlag and cheese and onion pasties and all the sights and sounds and scenery and interesting people abroad! Thanks for sharing this!
Thanks, Amy, for showing your love. I wish you a good experience in your future ahead!
Jeeez.. I’ve never even left Nigeria *sobs*. Gosh it’s my dream to actually travel while I’m still young and free.I’ve been the lowkey travel enthusiast (BTW I’ve been all around the world and back in my head lol) and my curiouties led me here. It’s super inspiring to see a young lady who happens to be a fellow Nigerian travel so far and wide. I’m glad I found this blog. Thank you!
Hi Abby, I am happy you found this blog helpful. Yes, traveling can be joyful if we have related important information in advance. Thanks for your appreciation!
I live in Austria and been in most places you listed. To me it is Portugal the most black friendly. Then Spain, UK, Belgium, France…idk how you came up with Austria, Hungary and Denemark. But happy you had a good experience.
