It really depends on the part 9f the city you're living in It's really safe in upper parts like niavaran, velenjak, shemiranat, pasdaran And as you go down safety decreases Phone robbing is also very common as you have to be careful holding your phone when walking around
Posted: August 15, 2025Tehran is a complex city, and things can be a bit tougher for foreigners. I strongly recommend not going out alone after dark, or at least going with a local. Tehran’s nightlife is absolutely vibrant, especially in summer, but some areas might be unsafe, particularly due to phone or handbag theft. If you follow safety precautions, you’ll rarely face issues. With care, you can truly enjoy this beautiful city!

There is no danger to anyone's life. The streets are safe. You just have to be careful with your bag and phone on pedestrians or in cars with the windows down.The polices are on the streets or riding around on motorbikes. The use of guns is not at all common and only in serious fights some bad people may have sharp objects or knives.
Posted: July 25, 2025It's a generally safe place but some neighborhoods are not safe at all Where i live is really safe and beautiful but overall the city is not dangerous for female travelers and I suggest that you have a plan for your stay
Posted: July 8, 2025Unfortunately, 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.
