How safe is Bangalore?

In general, I did not face anything yet and didn’t hear from people as well, so it’s chill but it might depend on the locations as well, the areas I’ve resided before and now is completely safe and police patrolling is always there

I feel safe only until 10 pm that too mostly with a company. I feel very uncomfortable and unsafe to go out even during day time. So many places though I am interested to explore I stop myself to avoid risks.

Not safe at night. Go with a group. People are aggressive here. If you have a local person speaking the language here then it’s fine. People will try to extort money and do all sorts of scam. Be in your hotel room by 10 and be cautious.

Bangalore is a metropolitan city with a vibrant microbrewery culture and a moderate nightlife. There are parts of Bangalore I wouldn't venture out in the night alone. But if we are talking about places like Indiranagar or church street you can be fairly relaxed there. But always remember safety in numbers and stay alert out there :))

From my experience I have never felt such worrisome experience. People are much safer compared to other cities. you even won't feel them staring at you..if they would it would be out of admiration not lust

I have learnt to be careful and not travel alone after 10 pm in the night. I am highly conscious of my environment when I am traveling alone. I try not to be on my phone when I am alone. I don't worry when I am taking the public transport. Please ensure the above and the rest should be okay. I have lived more than 15 years in the city and i haven't really come across any scary events, probably because I follow all the above.

Bangalore is a cosmopolitan city. Lively , thanks to it’s night life culture. However, it’s always better to be vigilant post 11pm because mischief doesn’t need an invitation. However there is nothing to worry about. You will love the place!

It’s where I’ve grown up and i really find this city safe but stop I’d like you to be on the look out for probably being asked for more money by some auto drivers that’s about it! Most locals are friendly and this place has more people from all over the country than locals so it’s a mix of cultures!

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.
