Did I feel safe? Mostly yes, but with caution. Air raid alerts happen, and you need to stay updated. People go on with life, but the war is still real. I felt safe during the day in central areas, especially with locals around.

The only yet huge danger is obviously the war that is going on in Ukraine, you never know where the next rocket or drone might hit. Before the full invasion Kyiv was safe place to visit. Nevertheless, it’s beautiful city

Kyiv is really safe city. but war threatens security. There are a lot of people who can help you. If you want to feel a family care you need go to Kyiv. Also there are cheep shops and food. I don’t know how to describe my delight in Kyiv

Despite war activities — it’s pretty good for solo traveling and simply existing there. Try to avoid several specific districts at night during the bombardment and you’ll be alright. I feel safe on my own, creeps happen not often and in average numbers. No serial killers as far as I know
