Crime & Women's Safety in Santiago

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.
