Majority of the areas are Quite safe however would advise foreign women to be cautious of some areas which are not advisable to go late at night. Otherwise the city is quite safe for women, locals are very helpful, police is always patrolling at nights.

Mumbai is safe for almost everyone. Beware of pickpockets in local train but other than that, it's in my opinion the safest city in India. Just be part of the crowd and enjoy the madness and local food
Posted: December 25, 2024Mumbai never sleeps and I can take public transport at 1 in the night and reach safely wherever I want to. It is very well connected and solo traveller friendly. I have been living in Mumbai for past 24 years and I have never felt unsafe while travelling.

Mumbai is known to be one of the safest cities in India. And being a local, I can't agree more. Even my girl friends who have moved here, have often reported the same. Being an actor, I often have to commute at odd hours even at shady places. But Mumbai has never scared me even then!
Posted: December 24, 2024If you know and act like you are a local, you are safe. If you act like a tourist people might see you as vulnerable. But worry not, you will feel comfortable once you spend few days around the city! (saying from my personal experience)
Posted: December 23, 2024Mumbai is one of the safest cities, however it is advisable to stay alert when travelling g alone as it is very fast paced. The city is really crowded, but the people are helpful. It has wonderful places to visit and experience.

I've been living here my whole life. I've travelled to many places and I feel the safest in Mumbai. Of course, bad things can happen practically anywhere, so with smart decisions and being aware of your surroundings, you will have nothing to worry about here. People are kind and hospitable to each other.

Mumbai is safe overall, I think it also depends on area to area. Try avoiding isolated areas during the night but overall I would call it pretty safe. I’ve been living in Mumbai since childhood. It’s safe wherever I’ve travelled within the city and never experienced anything unsafe before
Posted: December 9, 2024Mumbai is very safe for travelling at night. It’s the most safest city in India. People are chill and very helpful. The city very welcoming and the nightlife rocks. I would definitely recommend this place to everyone.

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.
Posted: September 11, 2024Mumbai 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.

I work in the mumbai entertainment industry or Bollywood as a creative director and writer producer while also being a avid traveller and have travelled across the globe extensively so I realise the importance of meeting locals to guide one through a new city to the journey easier.
