There are a lot of national guard personnel around, I feel safe, the markets are cheap, you can find anything, there are few thieves, just don't leave your wallets and bags anywhere, be careful, you can't use cards everywhere, so keep your money in a safe place.

The people are friendly, everyone minds their own life, and they are hospitable The crime rate is low, it is safe to walk at night, and there is legal protection. Women do not face pressure, and gender equality exists. There are hotels, shops, markets, schools, kindergartens, parks — everything you need.

Tashkent is really safe place, don't worry about anything except the street taxi drivers asking more money if you don't use Uber app. Uklon or Yandex. Also I live alone and walk alone at night without worrying.

I can tell Tashkent is a safe place to walk alone and live, but due to newcomers from regions, they might slightly bother you with curious stares and maybe crude words. Guys in uniforms are in almost every public places and locals are quite friendly.Honestly, I'd rate 8,5/10 because no place is totally safe for women, just keep cautious so you won't be caught off guard.💁🏻♀️
