Is Moscow Safe for Women? Crime Rate in Moscow

Moscow is actually a very safe city, you can literally leave your bag on a beach or in a cafe and most probably nothing will happen. Of course, criminals exist everywhere and incidents happen, so you should never forget about precautions and be careful. But overall, you should be pretty unlucky to face something if you stick to lit streets. But strangers could be dangerous! Be careful with them.

Moscow is fine! People sleeping in the metro — that’s definitely true. But I don’t recommend walking alone at night in the sleeping areas. About me — nothing ever happened, but it can feel kinda scary. In the city center even naked walk — no one will offend you

Most areas of Moscow are very safe, except for some areas on the outskirts (Medvedkovo, Vykhino, and similar). The locals are very well-mannered, but there are sometimes unmannered migrants, but if someone starts bothering you, the Russians will definitely stand up for you, which I am proud of in my city! There are many police officers, especially in the center, so you are often safe here.

Moscow is a safe city for women. The police works efficiently, there are cameras everywhere. I can go alone almost at any time. But it’s better to avoid walking alone in parks when it’s already dark outside.

Mostly safe, but things like frottage in public transport or harassment in the club may happen (it’s best to carry a pepper spray just in case). In my experience, it’s 100% to walk alone at night, especially if it’s in the city centre.

in general the city is safe. here u can be pretty calm about ur phone or money cause nobody will stole it. also u can rarely meet someone aggressive in public transport or on streets. its more an exception than a rule. harassment is possible but id say no more than in Europe. cause its more about men themselves than a country. so the general level of safeness of moscow for me is 4,5/5. i’ve been living here for 7 years already.

Solo travel

It 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.
