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.
Posted: April 3, 2025I 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.💁🏻♀️

Tashkent is such a place where people leave their homes unlocked when they go to the store. There are special security services everywhere, and they are called the National Security Service. People often go out for walks in the evening. Women's safety is guaranteed.

It was my first ever trip to abroad with my female friends, and I can say that it was amazing, successful trip. We felt safe during the travelling, Uzbek people were so nice to us, they were kind, helpful, lovely doesn’t matter of the gender. As far as I was the 4th year university student , my budget was only 100$, and in Uzbekistan you can feel yourself as millionaire with that amount of money😅 we travelled from Almaty to Tashkent during the Nauryz holidays. We started from the most famous restaurant- BesQozan, tried the legendary plov, somsa) we saw lovely park nearby there. People were so nice, they didn’t speak in English or Russian , cause I think they appreciated their own languages, culture. We’ve been there for 3 days , and it was unforgettable. Off course it wasn’t enough for us to deeply explore the city, we wanted also go to other historical cities like : Samarkand . But I can confidently say that I’d recommend this city - Tashkent to everyone, in group, solo, it’s really worth it😌
