It's actually quite safe if talking about central part of Moscow because Moscow os full of many different characters and locals there are 50/50 used to it. So it makes it safe for some non basic looking girls too. But it's unsafe on the ending stations and even in centre if it's middle of the night
Posted: June 24, 2025Moscow is one of the safest places among cosmopolitan cities, I swear (I’ve been traveling for the whole life and I can compare to other destinations). The infrastructure (public transport system, access to sights and any other type of attractions) is great. The streets are clear and there is a huge variety of restaurants/bars/places to have fun. The nightlife is great, especially in summer, and it’s pretty safe too.

Centre is really safe place. Of course, disgusting man can be anywhere, but there is a lot of cameras, and transport here (subway specially) is good. I think it’s the most safest city, tbh, and it’s feels ok go after dark, there’s a lot of policy here.
Posted: June 16, 2025Moscow is actually VERY SAFE, I would say. You can see many police officers on patrol even at the metro stations, and the ambulance will always ready on the roads too for any emergencies. In terms of pickpockets?? The possibility is very low, but maybe during winter when you wear thick clothing then the pickpockets might be on the move. But still the chances are very low.

In general, Moscow is very safe, but after sunset in deserted places it can be uneasy for girls, but it all depends on the area, in tourist areas it is safe. I try not to walk alone when it gets dark.

Overall, I consider Moscow (city) to be quite safe for us as women, I haven't experienced any sort of stuff however, as most places, need to have some precautions. Security here is 10/10 and will act as soon as you call them, however in means of language, it could be a barrier
Posted: June 10, 2025It was a really nice trip. You can travel on a budget. There’s lots to see and do. I’d definitely try local cuisine, there’s a wide choice of dineries. Taxi is affordable, safe. Avoid travelling in the rush hour, the streets can be blocked.
