How safe is Bangalore?

Pretty safe in the urban busy areas. Late nights can be creepy with strange people approaching you. I’ve not experienced anything worse than lewd comments and catcalls. That said, familiar men who maybe respectable/unsuspicious can suddenly get aggressive or abusive.

Bangalore is a great city to wander, travel and explore but because theres a massive amount of people coming in from all different states, cities, towns and various walks of life, it does get quite unpredictable. The city is a hub for college going students and people who have just begun working, essentially all these people are looking for hookups. It does get unsafe around the clubs at night, and it's generally not safe to hang around with strangers you've just met, but that's bangalore culture.

It's quite safe, i would say it's one of the safest cities in India. There are shops open until midnight, people roaming around the major parts of the cities and you can easily get a ride at any point in time.

Bangalore is a hi tech city filled with immigrants from different parts of the country. Kanadda is the local language, city has beautiful cafés n restaurants, parks and gardens. Just don’t roam out in the night .

Bangalore for me feels pretty safe compared to any other city I have been to. Might not be the same case for everyone. I have felt like people in the urban area mostly mind their own business and is of not much trouble to others.

Compared to other cities in the country I feel bangalore is safe. To my knowledge there have been scams happening in Bangalore at the ATMs. But now that is also a rare news. I feel traffic is the major problem here. Apart from that Bangalore is pretty safe for girls. The climate is really amazing throughout the year. Being a beach baby myself, i was disappointed at Bangalore.

I can't say for the whole of bangalore as I am also new to the city. But of the 2 years I have spend except for one off cases haven't been much bothered with safety. But yes moderate needs to taken if you are travelling far off at very late hours.

It has a lot of female-dedicated places, so if we make use of those properly and take a few precautions, it's pretty safe and accessible compared to most cities regarding women's safety. However, the only concern is the auto drivers acting rowdy, so it's better to stay away from local auto drivers if you are unfamiliar with or new to the area.

As far as I have lived here, I feel pretty safe in the area I live in. So it’s a pretty good place to live for. Overall it’s suggested to live in Bangalore except for the crowd . Climate wise it’s a very beautiful city but cost of living in more compared to other cities

It’s fairly safe but it’s never easy to feel fully at ease. I used to go out for walks by myself at nights (cuz I’m always working during the days and I get to breathe only during the night) until I was groped by an auto driver who just fled. I was traumatised after that. That’s when reality hit me. And I’ve been on guard every time I step out ever since
