Is Mexico City Safe for Women?

When saying in the expat neighborhood, I always feel safe, day and night. That being said, I do not venture out of these main neighborhoods at night. Leah’s have to be traveling smart of course, but in the two years I’ve lived here I’ve felt very secure so far.

Mexico is not the safest place on earth. But if you are carefull it's okay. As a woman you can use public transport without fear thanks to the compartments reserved for women at the front of the transport. Also, you should not show too many signs of wealth.

It is a huge city with many touristic spots, however, overcrowded places can be perfect spots for pickpockets, some places are very dangerous to visit even if they are sell as touristic attractions. Public transport is clean and safe but can be difficult to use so read well the maps! Harassment is pretty common in non touristic places.

Mexico City it’s a huge city, there are many places where you probably be mostly safe, but at least from my experience, I would take a lot of precautions to travel there, especially as a female solo traveler. It’s common to be drugged by taking a drink at bars. Lately there have been an increasing amount of cases where people get injected some drug inside of the subway. I’m not saying you shouldn’t go, just be careful and trust your gut and take enough precautions. During the day in popular areas is pretty safe, just don’t try to go to dangerous neighborhoods by yourself. And keep an eye on your stuff, you don’t wanna be pickpocket

It's a high crime rate city but it's also possible to walk around with no issue. There are specific neighborhoods to avoid, especially as a foreigner. You will most likely be approached by people wanting to sell something, or asking for money, but they're mostly harmless.

You generally feel safe in Mexico City if you’re in the “good” side of the city. People are super friendly, the transportation system is efficient and the food is amazing!!! Don’t miss churrería el Moro, the best churros I’ve tried!!! For good tacos go to el cocuyo, so good!
