Is Istanbul Safe for Women? Crime Rate in Istanbul

It’s safe but some area Not everywhere You can't trust everyone cuz they are scammers and u should be aware of tjose people absolutely with those shoes cleaner in taksim area they drop the brush in ground and you will pickup it and call them about it And for this kindness they want you to clean your shoes and ask for money

Please don't go to the streets others warned you about because even locals don't pass those places. Public places are usually safe. Especially if it's crowded. Don't be hesitant to call for help there are more people to help you

It's safe in general but you have to check the location that you visit. Especially at midnight. Some places like kadıköy, Beşiktaş, Üsküdar, Beyoğlu is safe in general. But make sure that you are not in backstreets.

It’s moderately safe when you don’t stay out alone too late. and public transport is in my opinion the safest option. i actually stayed out way past midnight a lot of nights and as long as i have some people i trust around me i feel no danger at all. but it is better to turn on your location to your friends when you’re walking around just incase, whether it’s daytime or nighttime

It is safe to a certain degree, especially on the Asian side. The European side should only be explored during mornings to stray away from big crowds and pickpockets. Taxi drivers should not be taken lightly, must rely on public transport.

Depending on the districts, I would rate it overall safe. It’s a beautiful city with so many things to offer. You just need to be careful at night, don’t go to desolate places and travel to more safe and crowded places like Taksim, Eminönü, Kadıköy, Beşiktaş etc.

It depends on towns of İstanbul. Sariyer,Bakırköy are safer than the other places. U ask turkish people in this application. Whatever u search, u can find in İstanbul. U should be careful but at the same time u can trust some good people 🙂

i don’t usually go outside or don’t go to the places i don’t know. personally i didn’t come through anything serious, neither anyone i know. but i know that ,like every woman in the world, istanbul is not the most safe city you’ll ever been to. i’m not saying turkish people are dangerous, we are so hospitable and good people in general. but also we have witnessed so many horrible things done to young girls and women

I can go out every hours. Just need to pay attention what to do and how to do. For example until 12 am or in the morning 6 am you’ll not feel alone but between you might be careful. No public transportation so you can use taxis.

You have to take care yourself.I usually use shoulder bag because i have to feel and see my bag. If my phone is in my pocket i touch it every second to feel it is there. I have my own peper spray and electric shock.Just in case.I was lucky i never been attacked by anyone.But some woman are not.Girls you have to walk like you are a man you have to confidently walk.A man said’ i want a kill somebody i saw a girl she look weak so i kill her’You seriously have to be careful .it’s a beautiful place but So many foreign people live here and sooo crowded you can’t find who did something

Family travel

It's a very good place to visit , I recommend it . I don't regret going, and I would like to go again. It's not very expensive if you have euro The food is excellent and you can eat wherever. People there are very nice

Group travel

Istanbul is a beautiful city. There is so much to do and you will never be bored. Safety wise I would say it’s mostly safe and I’ve never felt unsafe alone at night. But there are men who can cat-call you or pressure you to come into the night clubs.
