Is Kyiv Safe for Women? Crime Rate in Kyiv

Sometimes some men may look at you strangely or make nasty jokes, but it is very rare that you will get hurt. There is also a low level of theft here, even if you forget something and come back for it, there is a high chance that the thing will be in the same place. If you are just traveling for a short time, there is a high chance that the trip will go well.

its safe, because people not angry there but RIGHT NOW it’s dangerous because Kyiv every day has drones/missiles attacks Kyiv is being bombed sometimes. Still we have good defending weapon, but be ready to hear explosions

I mean, it's a city in a war country. But comparing to other cities in Ukraine it's definitely not the worst regarding safety at the moment. I've never been robbed, but I do get harassed from time to time. Nothing bad happened tho.

Kyiv is quite a safe place, despite many westerners thinking it is not safe because of political situation in the country. You can safely stay in hotels that have shelters and if you are visiting your friends especially there should be no worries. Ukrainians are very kind and friendly, and if they agree to host you, you’ll feel like a Queen. Public transport is accessible and you can use taxi if you have anxiety, that is quite cheap. Food is amazing, I’d argue we have the best food in Europe, and that I mean by safety and quality standards.

Despite the war - and obvious danger, Kyiv is pretty safe. I walk alone when it’s dark and the crime lvl is low overall. Robberies/ pickpockets are not a thing here, I’ve never heard of someone experiencing it. The only danger is the war

Kyiv is different. I'd say that safety depends on the neighborhood. And I'm not just talking about people, but also about the danger during air alerts. We don't hide in shelters during every air alarm - Kyiv has good air defence. But you need to understand that there is still a risk of danger. What about people - personally, I feel safe, because usually majority of them just don't care about you, but you still need to be careful.

It’s not. Safe, I mean. There are missiles and drones flying around every single day. But yeah - walking along home after dark - I’m not worried. But there’s also curfew from 00:00 till 05:00 - which means you can’t go outside at that time. Still beautiful here though,

I’d say it’s pretty safe, especially the central part of the city. In any way, it’s better to stay in central area if you’re a tourist - just because you can get lost or go into not the most safest areas. But honestly, it’s pretty safe, if anything - people are always welcome to help, especially when they understand that you’re not local due to your vulnerable state.

It’s a war situation in the city. If you follow instructions and go to the shelter during air sirens this increases the chances to stay safe. Also, there’s a high crime level. But in the city center, the safety level is higher.

Kyiv is not safe know 🥲 A rocket or drone could fly into your home at any time. Don't come to Ukraine until the war is over. I stay here know only because of my boyfriend (he cant leave the country).
