Generally safe, except for specific neighborhoods and after certain hours. I walk my dog at night downtown and I've always felt safe. I would reccomend taking Uber at night, but public transportation in the day. There are pick pockets like in every big city, but I've never felt like my life has been in danger.

It used to be safer than it is now, anyway if you know which places to avoid is not that bad. But I wouldn’t recommend to be a tourist by yourself. If you can walk around with a local that would be much better. Anyway comparing to the rest of Latin America .. is not that insecure.

Now in these years it is very important not to give yourself away an night when you are alone, avoid going downtown alone at night and always keep your cellphone tucked away so as not to be targeted by criminals :)

Depending on the area Santiago can be safe, it ain't that violent, but you gotta be careful in certain areas or in certain times of the day, there are neighborhoods the you should definitely avoid at all costs, but most of them are ok to go around during day time, and some of them ok for night time aswell. It's like most big cities, you gotta be careful and always aware, don't walk drunk and alone, your things and drinks always on your sight. That's pretty much but it is easy to find nice people willing to help everywhere
Posted: May 10, 2024I would describe it as moderate, depending on the part of the city you are in, might be a bit more complicated than other streets, always pay attention to your surroundings but you can easily enjoy it as well

I have been walking around alone in the Bellavista area and never had anything suspicious. I have been feeling quite safe. For that I do make sure I don’t look wandering about and usually walk with a purpose and don’t go wandering around ar night.
Posted: December 11, 2023I was in Santiago for 2 days and I fell in love with this city. I stayed in the central part and felt quite safe there. I recommend going on wine tours near Santiago, as well as visiting Portillo, where Laguna del Inca is located. In addition, the best neighborhoods to stay in are Providencia, Las Condes, Bellavista, and Vitacura.

I love to travel the world and explore the nature, try new food and meet people.

I love traveling for food (mostly 😂). I love dogs, bunnies, stationery, learning new things, visiting museums and parks 🌳 I’m a huge introvert so you won’t see me in parties or very loud places often (except if it involves music and food!) although I do enjoy music festivals and concerts! 😁
