Actually it's nice place to explore but when it comes to safety it's not good i myself never felt safe but I can't stop myself from going out because this but I always in alert mode when I go out and avoid going out at night because I don't have courage and confident to get out at night just walk around
Posted: August 7, 2025Not safe at all especially not for us girls honestly I think that nobody should travel alone in this city! Always have pepper spray with u at all times and its advised to avoid staying out late but the area in delhi ncr is fairly better as the night life of noida and gurgaon is smthn u can look forward too! Again avoid isolated areas at all times and avoid talking to strangers too!
Posted: July 22, 2025Although Delhi is a lovely city, it is probably not the safest for solo women. My advice is to use the public transport, like the Delhi metro. Traveling alone during the day is absolutely fine, avoid traveling alone at night.

Pretty safe as long as as you’re vigilant around the night time. Make sure you don’t travel or commute alone at night. Late at night/ early morning Ola/ Uber are pretty safe to travel with. Apart from that have fun it is a fun city
Posted: June 30, 2025Delhi is unfrotunatrelnot very safe, particularly for solo woman travellers. Although, as a native, I know how to navigate the city to keep safe, it will not be very easy to understand the nuances. Travelling in groups is a good idea and if possible, a friend from India would be good. I would advise not going out after dark. Travelling in Delhi Metro is perfectly safe and it provides great connectivity. Uber is pretty cheap for the laste mile. If you want to take an auto🛺, that can also be booked on Uber, Ola or Rapido which will prevent the 'foreigner price' being quoted.

I have been living in Delhi since 2024 . I travelled to many places and I felt that traveling through metro is cheap but with private vehicle it is expensive. I only prefer to travel in morning because I don't feel safe at night .
