Mumbaii is overall a safe place for women but I can't say that it is 100% safe as anything can happen if you're alone..... Stilll it's quite safe as the city is busy even at night. The city has women only train compartmentss..... However, like any large city, risks exist particularly at night, in isolated places, or late night transport..... Mumbaii offers a mix of strong infrastructure and public presence that makes it safer than most big cities...... buttt exercising caution remains essential.
Posted: August 28, 2025It is pretty safe but still need to adhere to caution, if traveling solo. Would not recommend being too late like after 10 PM just as precautions if you are traveling solo. Better to take autos than cabs.
Posted: August 18, 2025Mumbai is very safe City even in the night all police and officers also there in each and every street and you can take night long drive alone and even you can sit alone in the beaches so I think it's a very safe city
Posted: August 16, 2025It’s the safest city in India. If you do use public transport, use the cabins reserved for woman. There are only female passengers there and after 10, even a police officer to make it safer. As for walking around, there are some places that feel scary but as a tourist, o don’t think anybody really goes there.

It’s quite safe. Mumbai is always filled with people even at night so it’s very safe. I haven’t had a lot of bad experiences. Sometimes, they ogle and stare but again depends on area to area. Overall I would say it’s quite safe

In general I find this city very safe. But as a foreigner I get too much attention. Some people are trying to take pictures of me. I don’t have experience with public transport, but Uber is very safe. I personally don’t feel ok with walking alone after 11 pm
