Delhi is safe in groups if you want to stay out late/all night, if you're solo I'd suggest stick to day time and before 10pm ideally. one safe location to another is okay ish later than that in terms of cabs.
Posted: September 16, 2025Delhi is quite safer, however, public transport after 10 pm should be avoided in scarcely populated places. The nightlife is amazing and day tours give historical touch with lots of taste buds unravelling while moving across the streets.
Posted: September 13, 2025It depends on the area and which side of Delhi you live in but overall I don't consider this city safe. I was mugged twice in the first year I shifted here. How safe is this city on the scale of 5 ‐0.5

It is safe but usually depends on the area you are in. If you are in a safe area well maintained society and place then its all safe but if ur in some slum area then idts its safe. Avoid walking alone at night after 8 because its not safe we dont know what might happen. Although during the safe its safe to roam around alone.
Posted: June 3, 2025Don't travel alone at night and prefer to travel in groups. Try to use Private booked transfers and tours from trusted and famous companies. Can be travelled solo during the day but avoid overly crowded places.

Its safe but not that much if you trust any stranger. Be smart while travelling and save all the helpline numbers. The best place for exploring food options. Lots of heritage and cultural attractions. Easy to commute. Easily find a good company anywhere. Great connectivity from other nstional and international destinations.
