Is Mumbai Safe for Women? Crime in Mumbai

Pretty good at all hours. But I have recently experienced some catcalling and harassment at stations or in my college. Harassment like flashing is prevalent in Vile Parle, Nerul near the college areas. But many people are helpful and will help you if you create a scene or ask for help. Even men.

Mumbai is city which never sleeps and that makes it much safer to travel even at night. The public transport runs till late in the night but it’s better to be cautious while using the trains at night.

Being a metropolitan city it has its areas where one might feel unsafe but overall mumbai is very safe. You can stroll around till late hours. Everyone here is super helpful especially to women and girls.

Mumbai is full of people from various backgrounds, ethnically and economically. Having spent 25 years in Mumbai, Mumbai is as safe as it can be. I wouldn’t say there’s no crime rate, but locals are friendly and police officials are present 24/7 for safety. Avoid wandering off alone in a secluded place past midnight.

Hello girlies! Mumbai is quite safe during the day or early morning. It’s divided in certain sections, there are Mumbai suburbs, Mumbai, Navi Mumbai (new Mumbai) and Old Mumbai. The well developed areas are very well lit at night, have a rich nightlife and are quite safe at night. These areas are also somewhat different in terms of living costs. The suburbs aren’t that well developed and nor does it have a night life, it’s where post 9-10pm you’ll find very few people outside but in Mumbai (Bandra/Andheri) side people are out til 1-3am. It’s quite safe overall considering where you go and who you have around. Good luck!

In Mumbai you can travel stress free by public transport even at 2 am at night. I have never experienced any kind of bad behaviour from people surrounding me. Also it has amazing culture. It connects the world to India.

Mumbai is a pretty safe place to roam around even for women. Always be a little present minded but nothing to be crazy worried about. The local transport is usually dependable and uber is available too.

Fairly safe. I never had any bad experience Mumbai is relatively safe compared to other cities in the country, especially in well-lit and crowded areas. However, it is still recommended to always be cautious as a solo female traveler.

Mumbai is incredibly safe. Localities are very helpful and will guide you in case you are lost. Public transport is safe and reasonably priced. Cheating/theft/mugging/harrasment almost never happen, even during late hours

Mumbai is the cultural heart of India with people from all walks of life. I am not originally from the city but have come to love it with all my hearts because of mainly the people here. The culture is a cherry on the cake.

Solo travel

Mumbai is the city that never sleeps of Asia. My heart got stuck over there. As a woman, you obviously get a lot of attention, a lot of looks. I found the best way to handle it was to not look back, keep walking straight as if you know the way. I never had any problems worse than that.
