Is Santiago Safe for Women? Crime Rate in Santiago

Santiago can be dangerous depending on the area you are staying in; the city center is quite dangerous, but if you are careful and attentive, there shouldn't be a problem. Always keep an eye on your wallet and cell phone on public transportation.

i think it is like every big city, there are some areas more dangerous and others that are safer. I recommend do not use your phone in the street or public transportation cause there are a lot of muggers

you have to be careful with your phone at all times!!! that’s the most common crime of the city! around the touristic areas is very safe, however you should avoid walking past 8 - 9 pm alone or with companions!!

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

I 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.

I 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.
