How safe is Sochi?
the city is quite safe, the only thing i can be worried about sometimes is the grande amount of high-testosterone muchachos, looking through my soul although , there was not a single person who would dare to step out of line
Posted: September 2, 2025Taxi and public transport is pretty safe. However there is a high rate of alcoholism in Russia, so girls should be careful in the city centre and some poor districts in the evening.
Posted: January 26, 2025Sochi is a really safe place because it’s a resort town, there are lots of tourists in summer and sometimes in winter. Good sea, picturesque nature, nice architecture, people are kind and happy here, that’s why there is no reason to worry at all.
