Is Auckland Safe for Women? Crime Rate in Auckland

It 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...

It really depends on where in Auckland you are, there is quite a bit of ram raids at the moment, but that doesn’t necessarily effect people on the street. There is quite a bit of cat calling, and sexual assault/harassment generally goes unpunished and very tame punishment.

Auckland is generally a safe place, particularly in neighborhood areas near beaches. The inner city has somewhat of a reputation for smelling like weed, and a large homeless population that will repeatedly ask for money. They may call you names and yell at you, however they know not to come towards you as there are security on the street.

I grew up in Auckland and we left our front door unlocked in our house all the time and never had a problem. Some crime is on the rise but I still feel safe walking alone at night and living alone in NZ. Police are active and there is strong community spirit. Pick-pocketing is not common at all. New Zealand was the first country in the world to give women the vote. You can and should expect to be treated fairly and equally. New Zealand is over 50% atheist so you are free to be yourself, without religious restrictions. Gay marriage is legal in NZ. NZ can be racist towards people that are not white, especially in the South Island where it is a pre-dominantly white population. Due to the low population of people from Africa in NZ, if you are of African descent you may get treated like an exotic flower.

On the whole it’s pretty safe, although I wouldn’t hang out in the CBD after dark currently, especially Queen st. The outer suburbs are all pretty good. But like everywhere, you need to keep your wits about you in public. It much safer than other cities I’ve been to in Europe, for example people are pretty relaxed about leaving your bag on you chair while you go to the bathroom at a cafe, but if it’s in a busy area and you’re sitting in the street, I wouldn’t do that anymore. If you’re in a car I’d make sure you stow any valuables out of sight or take them with you.

Auckland is reasonably safe, however crime has increased a big recently, so safety in numbers and awareness is super important. don't trust strangers. Just always be safe rather then sorry. Trust your gals xo

Auckland has areas like downtown, unlit parks, Karangahape Rd that don't feel very safe after dark. Watch out for people drunk or on drugs. However I've lived there for 10 years and walk everywhere as a young solo woman, including at night - I am just more wary.

Depends on the suburb. Central Auckland CBD can be unsafe. Wouldn’t walk auckland suburbs after dark alone either but that is personal choice and taught to me by parents. I have never experienced violence from a stranger on a night out.

For the most part Auckland is safe to move around in. Obviously it’s worth paying attention late at night in less populated areas but people will generally be friendly and helpful if you are stuck - especially other women.

Auckland, like any city, has its safety concerns, but overall it’s considered relatively safe for women. As in any urban area, it’s essential to be aware of your surroundings, take common-sense precautions, and use well-lit, populated areas, especially at night. The New Zealand government and local authorities continuously work to maintain and improve safety measures for all residents and visitors.

Solo travel

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.

Solo travel

Auckland is a very city, due to many construction sites it makes the city a little bit ugly. I can recommend to stay at lylos, but everywhere in the city you can find very cool and young people. Just be open minded! If we wouldn’t not have been in a big group in the night, i really wouldn’t have felt safe, because some spooky people are around there. I also recommend Mount Eden, amazing view!
