Most areas are safe to walk alone during daytime. Crime is mostly limited to retail store theft or car break ins. Mugging and public assaults are very infrequent although there are reports every now and then of youths attacking people on public transport. It is still very low risk. Walking after dark is a bit more of a risk.

Very safe city overall. Just be vigilant when it’s very late at night in but people are generally very friendly and won’t bother you. But will be happy to to help as well. Public transport isn’t very comprehensive but generally bus drivers are nice and willing to help. Walking at night in the city isn’t scary at all, but don’t go in dark alleyways by yourself if you’re not familiar with the area. Otherwise generally very good. Avoid south Auckland areas. Central and north shore are great safe lovely areas.

I generally feel quite safe in Auckland, just can be dodgy in some areas. There is a lot of homelessness, along with alcohol and drug abuse in the center, but the outskirts are really nice. There are times when I've felt uncomfortable, but not unsafe.

Auckland is generally safe, but it completely depends on the area. Some places are really not safe at all, even during the day so just do your research. Feel free to message me about where your planning on travelling and I can tell you more about the individual suburbs safety
Posted: February 11, 2025It really depends on the area your in but generally, I'd say it's a really safe country!! The only thing is, like any other place in the world, I wouldn't risk walking in the dark alone even if it's considered a really safe place :)) Rich/Safe Areas in Auckland to Least... North Shore & East Auckland ⬇️ West Auckland ⬇️ South Auckland

Auckland is nice. It's just that they don't have a lot of stuff to see. You're only gonna need a week for the experience. At least that's what it was like for me. Mount Eden is very nice though. The art museum is also very interesting.
