Is Israel safe for women?
Tel Aviv-Yafo
For solo female travelers Tel Aviv is very safe in most neighborhoods. It safe to take public transportation or walk around alone at day and night. Certain neighborhoods in south Tel Aviv can be unpleasant so try not to go alone. But all in all it is a safe city for women. It is important to be alert and aware of your environment in very crowded areas, because due to current climate there is a risk of rocket attacks in the city.

Israel is super safe to visit, the locals can be rude but they aren't a risk. I know wars and stuff can be scary, but actual involvement is super rare. There aren't pickpockets or anything like it, I feel safe walking around any time.

Depends on the district obviously, but even the areas that are more prone to crime are usually about internal beef of people living there and not attacking unrelated persons. All the upper areas seem completely safe to me, never been catcalled or felt unsafe walking alone even in the middle of the night.

Super safe, small place mostly for families. Not a touristy place but a lot of people who live there are rich so there are thefts from home sometimes or cars. Other than that the most safe place ever.

Amirim is a very safe place. People are very nice and are always happy to help when they can. I feel very comfortable walking everywhere and at every time. I would definitely recommend visiting Amirim as it's a beautiful quiet place.

It feels safe to me, everyone knows everyone so if someone starts harassing us we tell each other to stay away from them .. I myself have not been harassed or bothered before, it's a safe place overall

Tel Aviv is very safe. Everyone here is super nice and helpful. No worry about going out in the dark. Sexual assaults, robbing or attacks while walking in the street never happen here. Women can feel very safe here.

Tel Aviv is a great beach city with lots of great restaurants, museums and clubs! The public transportation is a little bit unreliable, but it definitely works,and is easy to navigate. People are friendly and helpful. I highly recommend visiting!

I took my mom to Israel in June and we just spent some time with my friends there. We felt safe and people are amazing there. It’s my forth times to go to Ein Gedi and my mom’s first time. There are too many places worthy to explore especially some hidden gems brooks where only locals know. Don’t miss out the warm hummus, fresh fruits, and Arabic coffee in Damascus gate (First shop at entrance of the right ally)

I went in 2016, so I felt relatively safe. It was with a large, organized group, so there were other people around at all times. We stayed in a hotel and then mostly explored the city on foot. This city is truly unique and I will never forget my visit. There is so much to explore and admire, the three days we stayed felt insufficient. I would absolutely recommend you visit.
