Is Tehran Safe for Women? Crime Rate in Tehran

Unfortunately, it's not a safe place for a lonely woman. For now that mullahs are running the government, No one is safe here. Bu iran has so many beautiful places and people in other cities. Tehran can be good to visit but when sb is around you.

I mean, honestly it is not the best but surely,,, better than new york, Los Angeles, New Orleans, etc. I guess. Some towns and neighborhoods are not safe to walk in at night but some others are cool.

Tehran is a really crowded city, the biggest safety issue is getting cornered in darker and less crowded places in order to rob you specially mobile phones and jewelry. However, phone theft happens really often even in crowded streets or more expensive parts of the city. Most violent crimes I’ve heard of have had financial motives but personally I haven’t been sexually assaulted, but cat calling and verbal harassments happen often depending on which part of the city you’re at

Most areas that you would like to explore are safe, but it's best to keep your phone in a cross over bag to make sure you won't be targeted by thieves. Keep in mind hijab is mandatory in Iran and there's sth called morality police that could cause you issues if you don't wear it. You're generally safe as long as you don't stay out too late and you keep your hijab on.

To be fair it totally depends on the different neighborhoods you want to visit. Morality police in iran in general is an issue and you would have to wear hijab to stay out of trouble unfortunately. Other than that in some parts of the city some people would be cat calling ladies and such and robbery is common in some places as well but not usually in tourist spots and in overall it’s safe but you have to be cautious and know where you’re going. Some crowded touristic areas are very safe at nights so it’s just better to stick together and ask about safe areas before going anywhere

Tehran is much more safer than Turkey which I lived earlier! We have no problem walking in dark and never feel unsafe in here. There are police in every corner also and you will always feel protected!
