I feel safe walking alone in all of the daytime. I go to places, hiking, concerts... alone and I feel safe (The traveles/nature party people are the best). There is small times that i feel a bit worried but that's because I'm a women 🤷♀️ and I know that's a me feeling so i try to work it and be better for myself. Overall I think Israel is one of the safest countries in the world with a lot of lovely people 😊

I found it very safe to go around by myself, even at night. The central areas, as far as I’ve seen, is very well illuminated and there are always people out. But of course I don’t recommend that :) we women know it’s never 100% safe for us anywhere.

It's a quiet city of hard working people. Most of them mind their own business and won't bother a random person walking by. I live in Petah Tikva for two years now and feel safe and comfortable walking the streets.

Zikhron is a quiet picturesque town in northern israel a little to no crime very safe for women Its safe to wander alone at all times and your only worry if you’re a tourist is to people try to scam you with a bit higher prices but it usually doesn’t happen around here only in big cities

It really depends on the neighborhood since it's a big city, but I believe most of it is safe. I hang out there a lot and I rarely experienced anything bad,only maybe in the area of the central station, which is old and is known for its reputation with many addicts around

Well as far as I found it haven’t experienced any, attack, assault or abuse . For a long time I’m visiting and staying there. It’s really calm , and peaceful and most people I met were super loving and nice! Really friendly!!

Tel aviv is pretty safe *not south Tel aviv The only reason Tell aviv is not very safe right now it’s because terror (israel is in a war right now) Tel aviv have nightlife so it’s not very dangerous to walk around but keep your eyes open

Very calm town with lots of different people, chill environment, nice people and good security services. You can walk at night aroung and you will meet nice people, at the main streets the are always people around. Many spots for artists!

A very safe small city, very quiet and very very low crime rate. I feel safe 24/7, not worried at all, everyone knows each other, but there is not much to do in this city as it is very small. to summarize, safe but nothing to do here.

Safe in most of the country Talk to me and I will give you tips for specific places. In the north there is no problem at all. In the main cities also, but like every dense city you need to pay attention to your stuff and look if people look strange so don’t communicate with them.
