How safe is Limassol?

As long as you dont walk alone at night in touristic areas, you will be fine. Cypriots are not usually the problem, foreigners that live in Cyprus sometimes are, usually arabic. Be aware and stay safe

Overall safe, but still good to be careful. A lot of annoying weird people like everywhere. Try not to walk alone at night and you’re good. Public transport is okay but still stay aware at all times.

It's a really safe and quiet place, and I have walked alone during the night sometimes and I felt pretty safe, but lately the population is growing because of illegal immigrants and they do cause trouble sometimes but same cam be said for local youth aswell

I would say very safe i am not scared to walk at night although at some spots some suspicious people might be hanging there but not common to come across unless intentionally. I recommend limassol as well as paphos very much, paphos is 30 minutes from limassol ! :)

It's safe but I'm afraid of tourists.. They'll try to sell you things, with lies ..For example "my boy is sick please help" ..And I saw a few people walking around and checking in the cars..We must always have eyes open and suspiciously

There is very low crime, so coming here is safe and you can enjoy an incredible vacation. Very few thefts are reported; they are almost isolated incidents, and this situation is comforting so you can feel at ease.

Group travel

My trip in Limassol was great, I felt safe though even during the non-touristic season the city was quite busy. I was traveling with a group and stayed in a hotel. We mostly ate outside and the restaurants were quite expensive compared to Larnaca. We had our favorite coffee shop-Wagmi, where you can have quality coffee and work, and they have a super cute garden also.
