It is generally safe, of course there are regions where the rating is not very good, but even there it is completely safe. these are still districts far from the city center. I often return home at night, it's after nine in the evening and until twelve at night. Thefts and robberies do not happen very often. There are no restrictions on clothing, no one interferes, even if this is so, then people can stand up for you. In general, it's comfortable for me, I wear what I want, not very provocative, I do what I want, I go where I want.

Overall, Baku is a safe city. If you stay in crowded areas, there’s nothing to worry about. Being alone late at night might feel a bit unsafe, but during my time living in Baku, I haven’t encountered any negative situations.
Posted: February 11, 2025I think Baku is safe. People are harmless. They dont will hurt you physically. But maybe you can face some aggressive ones. Thats okey. They still cannot do anything to you. Other people always there for helping you about problems. You can ask questions on streets.

Compared to many cities, Baku is a very safe and comfortable city to live in. No matter what time of night you can easily go to the center or the market. People are very kind and helpful. It is a place where murder and similar incidents are rare.
Posted: February 8, 2025I think my city is safer than most of cities in the world. But of course there are bad people everywhere. My biggest advice is can be that if you walk in the city center you safe. Public places are good.
Posted: February 4, 2025People in Baku are very hospitable. People here are often polite to each other, especially to people who come to get to know our country.If no negative action is taken against someone, the probability of a problem is zero

This city is a very safe city. I think it is a city where you can feel comfortable. You can walk around freely in the evenings and no one will bother you. You can find people and police everywhere you can ask for help.
Posted: January 9, 2025It is really safe place. If we consider that everything is under control it makes us comfortable. No one can kidnap you or do some sexual things or even make you worry about it, not possible. If you're normal person on her own way, no one will disturb you

Its indeed very disappointing to say that baku is not at all safe for women at night specially women who are travelling alone. Every men around you is obnoxious and would stare you as if he is going to rape you. Day 1 till day 5 most of the men i met were very vile and bad and all they would look at you as if they would rape you even try to eve tease you and if you revolt back they would make sure you learn a lesson for pointing out the inadequate behaviour of men towards you.

Best food in the Caucasian region. I felt completely safe all the time, the people are awesome and friendly! So many things to see, I loved the carpet museum the most, but the Mini Dubai feeling is incredible too!
