How safe is Israel?

Tel-Aviv District
Tel Aviv is very safe. There are some areas where it's advisable not to walk around alone after dark. Petty theft is a thing, but not as common as other big cities around the world. Just stay vigilant and you'll be good 😊

The center of tel aviv, as well as the northern parts of it, are very safe for women and in general. The more southern parts (south of florentin) can feel a little unsafe at night, with the exception of the touristic parts of jaffa.

Ok so, if we are talking about the normal community, I’m not afraid at all or worried on my daily life. But, I’m Israel we have the people who don’t want to live peacefully with us, so they attack and because of that I’m a bit worried on my daily life.

It's basically a quiet city where you can walk around after dark , convenient transportation and, by and large, nice people. There's not much to do here, but the location is very convenient, u can get to Tel Aviv quickly and the prices are lower

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!!

I travelled alone to the Dead Sea destination on a pre-booked transfer, that brought me and other travellers to the hotels. My hotel was ‘Oasis Spa Club Dead Sea Hotel -18 plus’, i think it’s the best place to stay there in this budget category. Very modern and stylish. I recommend for total relax and cute pics ☺️ The dead sea beaches are near, all sunbeds are free of charge. This recreation area of the country is popular with elder people, and mostly women, so this is the safest place to travel alone. Every grandma will admire you there 😀

I felt unease most of the time. While at salt lake, outside Jerusalem of course, perverts were taking pictures of naked women there. While back at the city, local markets kept flirting with me(I was below 18 yrs old), even when I said i had a partner. Also heard some racist things thrown around so it was just odd. Nature is stunning tho.
