Is Medellín Safe for Women? Crime Rate in Medellín

All depends about the place you are. But I live in bello with my son and it’s very safe. Well, I don’t go out at night to much, but I haven’t been robe, or anything bad in almost 8 years living here.

Overall Medellin is safe, however, with a lot of immigrants and the city growing so fats is getting more insecure with the time, and taking into account the history, Medellin tends to be the city that attracts more people, and the crowder the more insecure

It is a city with incredible people, you can walk around calmly, people help you with everything when you ask. They really like to welcome foreigners, it is a city that generally captivates you with its warmth.

Medellín is pretty safe as long as you stay in the good neighborhood, don't walk alone late at night and have an eye open at all times. Don't drink excessively cause you need all your instincts on point. Also don't be extra friendly with cab or Uber drivers.

Medellin is mostly a safe city, just as any other city you should be aware of your surroundings, preferably don’t walk alone after dark, and avoid some parts like downtown, the best way to get around is the metro and public buses, there’s uber and other transportation apps. If you like night life el poblado and la 10 (10 street) are the best and most touristic places to go but you should be specially aware in this area because of people trying to take advantage from crowded areas and foreigners. Other than that I feel pretty safe during the day, there’s a lot of places to visit like museums, theaters, parks and shopping malls :) There are also little towns near Medellin you can visit by bus and are not expensive, some are Guatape, Jardin, San Rafael (beautiful rivers) and Santafe de Antioquia. Feel safe to ask for directions or anything you might need, Colombians are very friendly and always willing to help, some of us speak english too :)

Family travel

Had a beautiful time in Medellin! Mind you if you’re coming from the states, $1 is about $4000 colombian pesos so money does go far! Stayed in a Marriott hotel in Sabaneta. So many different things to do, enjoyed my special bonding time with my little family. Definitely recommend!
