There are many districts which are very safe, many private zones. But also you should know places where it’s prohibited to go, for example the brighter colours of the houses are, the less safer is where. Don’t trust colourful houses. The best and the safest place in Monterrey is San Pedro, the luxurious life is here

Well in reality Monterrey is a good city but here in Mexico we have a problem with violence against woman I think it’s safer if you don’t stay out so late and if you do always stay with company of somebody who to trust

Monterey is a very nice place to live,. It is a big city. In general, it is safe but I would recommend not to be alone. Sometimes with foreign visitors people might charge you a little bit extra in clubs. I wouldn’t say it is an unsafe area, but because of the distance between the places, it is not very accesible to travel if you don’t have a car.

Some parts of the city are not as friendly as the should be, the public transport is chaotic and could be unsafe for women at night, wouldn't recommend it. If you stay in the turistic sites you shouldn't have any problems.

For women it is not very safe at night in nightclubs of bars that is why I recommend not to go out alone, do not walk alone in the night or get in Ubers alone because you get exposed to being assaulted
