How safe is Chandigarh?

Very safe city during the day. Mostly safe at night, depending on which part of the city are you in. I would not recommend going to less crowded areas at night or shady localities or near liquor shops because the crowd can be shady.

Chandigarh is really safe for girls because of its police force, they are really strict and is always active, but you should always stay alert and cautious because girls are not entirely safe anywhere in this world.
Posted: April 9, 2025It's better than other places in india. But still, it's important to take preventive measures. If you are planning to stay in a hotel, please DO NOT stay in a cheap hotel. 5 star hotels are the safest. If you are a female solo traveler, be accompanied by a trusted local.

Chandigarh, India is a very safe and peaceful city. Till today i have never experienced or heard cases of sexual harassment even in public transports and night clubs. After 12 o’clock midnight it gets quite on streets.
