Lviv is quite safe for a girl travelling alone (talking from experience, because I wasn’t born here, so at times I was travelling here on my own). Unfortunately, today it is not 100% safe because of the war, even though it’s safer than many Ukrainian cities.

I would say Lviv is safe overall. You can walk alone at night, but still, as anywhere in the world, it’s better to be careful than not. Even regarding war, it is safer in Lviv, than anywhere else in Ukraine, though there’s always a risk of missile or drone attack.

It is in generally safe place, I haven’t experienced anything bad like having something stolen or being afraid of some people. Obviously you’d better avoid narrow roads and drunk people. But due to the active war since 2021 , it is up to you to risk. It is not as bad as in other cities, but you never know.

It’s a fairly safe city for women — attacks on women are not common here. There’s a curfew after midnight due to the war, and most people follow it. The police are approachable, speak English, and are generally helpful. There are also many women serving in the police force. What might feel more unsettling to you is the fact that we’re living through a war.
