Mumbai is very safe for woman. Even at night I can go out alone and feel so safe. I am born and brought up in Mumbai but never felt unsafe or encountered anything around me. Mumbai police is doing great job at woman’s safety at night.

Mumbai is generally a safe city for women. The locals are helpful and respectful, and public transport, especially local trains, is reliable. Even at 10 or 11 PM, you’ll see many women in the ladies' compartments, showing how safe and trusted they are.

Mumbai is really safe even at night but some areas are a little shady and you need to be careful about it other than that please take care of your stuff tho pocket picking may occur in few areas again it depends where you are living or travelling but it’s not common so you can chill but stay alert.

Mumbai is safest place provided you are very alert traveller. Always look around while travelling at night post 1 am, i advise to travel in your own vehicle or book safe ride that is cab to your doorstep. Donot engage with driver alot, try to keep talking on phone or act that you are cordinating throughout.

Is Mumbai worth visiting?

Travel rating

3.7 /5

Solo travel

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
