How safe is Hyderabad?

While there are enough articles in the news to make me keep my guard up at all times, I wouldn't say it's very openly dangerous, people tend to be a little cautious before doing anything out in the open. The closer you get to the wrong person is when it gets dangerous. Some areas tend to be safer but with enough precautions and company, it's safe enough to travel at night too. The police tend to be more cautious of male bikers at night especially. The metro is surrounded by cctvs and security for as long as it works. Would suggest being out for as long as the metro is open.

its pretty safe in the day time but as a woman have to always be careful of your surroundings better to be with a friend if youre an anxious person like me but youll be fine alone in the good areas but avoid the shady places if youre alone

As we all know, not all men, BUT MEN !! such men also exist in Hyderabad. Hyderabad is generally considered safer than many other major Indian cities, it’s advisable to remain vigilant, especially during nighttime or in less crowded areas. I often travel solo in my car during the night to explore the city and Ive never faced any such issues. If you wanna explore the night life of Hyderabad, travel in groups :) or with familiar localites !!

Hyderabad is generally a very safe place to live, travel and work for women. Been here for the last 2 years and have never faced anything unpleasant. I use only public transport and life is convenient and cheap for me.

Experienced lots and lots of catcalling and ogling in broad daylight. I was never groped, even in metros that were FULL of people though I expected it to happen. I would advise not to go out in the dark alone.

Hyderabad is pretty safe for women. Me and my friends hang out late at night till 3am sometimes and people don’t care really. Only thing is regardless of where you are or at what time, there will always be some guys eyes on you or more specifically your body. If you want to be outside late at nights a car is needed to feel safe

Is Hyderabad worth visiting?

Solo travel

Hyderabad was a great experience overall, even at most crowded places like Charminar Market I was told that I can get pick-pocketed, thankfully that didn't happen. But it was so refreshing to visit as it was safe in regards of sexual harassment related acts. In fact most people did not stare at me which was surprising and refreshing. One should definitely try South Indian cuisine and pastries and other bakery products in Hyderabad, they are truly amazing and fresh! Never tasted bakery products better and fresher than that!
