Unfortunately Mexico is not safe for woman and we keep fighting for it but is not a nightmare once you find the right people and support. Scams are so common here as well but you have to rely on some local to help you

Depends on the neighborhood, time of day an year. It's quite safe in the touristy areas, but you have to follow your instincts and be tuned to your surroundings in general. Generally speaking, it's safe, but always be aware.
Posted: January 1, 2025It depends a lot on where you are. The entire downtown area is very safe and the people are very friendly, but the surrounding areas not so much. There can be dangerous situations but they are very avoidable, it's very clear where it can be dangerous and where it isn't.

Pretty safe, but as a woman is better not to go out alone at night 11:00 pm or more, unless is a zone with a lot of people. About the public transportation is better to take the seats designed for women as the pink wagon of the metro or the pink seats at metrobús
Posted: December 22, 2024Mexico is very safe for tourists! Is you can, stay in the tourists areas just to be sure. Condesa, Roma, Juarez, Coyoacán, Del Valley, Narvarte, San Pedro de los Pinos, Polanco and Santa Fe are the safest neighborhoods so if you can, stay there. Condesa, Roma and Juarez are super centric so I would recommend those in particular.

Mexico City is not very safe, but as a woman, you can take some advice to stay safe. Avoid certain places, especially at night. The safest places are Coyoacán, Roma, Condesa, and the city center.
Posted: October 26, 2024Like in an other cities Mexico City have some areas where is more provably that you suffer any robbery but in general you can feel free around the city. In my personal experience I never been in any danger situations.

Use common sense, follow intuition Is not a City to walk alone at nigth (not every where) But it's safe to travel in metrobus and metro, plus there's a woman area in each of these Be careful with your things well kept while traveling

Mexico City is safe as long as you stay in the touristic areas: Chapultepec, Condesa, Roma, Polanco, and its better to avoid public transportation and walking alone at night. Mexicans are really nice people, but don’t trust everyone and don’t overshare information about you traveling alone.

Went to Mexico City for 20 days Stayed with somebody I know But traveled around alone in Mexico City used über and felt very safe especially because with the app you pre-pay the journey so there is no guessing the price or paying for extra time in traffic jams or wrong turnings Took tour bus to see the city and went to lots of museums were you can literally spend the whole day ! especially the Museo Nacional de Antropología such an amazing place and then the Museo Soumaya free entrance to the most amazing private art collection. Food is delicious and not expensive if you like Mexican food I would recommend La Casa De Toño Craft are amazing too and would recommend the Mercado de Artesanías Zona Rosa Felt safe even when traveling by bus to the pirámides in Teotihuacan Just be aware of your environment and if someone approaches you you don’t start a conversation Mexico City is amazing!

I went to Mexico city as a solo traveler and at first, I was scared of all the things I heard. I met some amazing people in the hostel I was staying at, and I ended up at a Mexican wrestling match which was NOT on my bucket list or anywhere within my itinerary. It ended up being the highlight of my 3 month trip!
