How safe is Santa Fe?

Safety at night:

Safety at night:Moderate

Santa Fe generally has a safe atmosphere during the daytime while the situation can be a little different at night. Like many other cities, walking alone at night is not the most recommended action. There can be isolated incidents of street crimes, especially in less populated areas, so it's best to stay alert, avoid deserted areas and take a taxi instead of walking when it's late. However, in major areas with plenty of activity, you should feel quite safe.
Public transportation:

Public transportation:Safe

Public transportation in Santa Fe is generally safe. Buses are the most common and they are usually reliable and well-maintained. However, during peak hours they can be crowded which can lead to petty thefts. Despite this, incidents are not common but remain vigilant. Taxis are also safe and they use meters. Uber and other reputable ride-share apps are available as well.
Street harassment:

Street harassment:Low

Santa Fe is generally quite accommodating when it comes to solo female travelers. That being said, it's important to be aware of your surroundings. Some light catcalling can occasionally occur predominantly during the night, but overall incidents of street harassment are generally uncommon. Local police are usually on hand to assist, and it's advised to avoid less busy areas during late hours. Always prioritize your safety but don't feel overly alarmed. The local culture is quite respectful of solo women travelers.
Petty crimes:

Petty crimes:Low

Santa Fe has a relatively low prevalence of petty crimes for travelers, such as pickpocketing or bag-snatching incidents, compared to other major cities.
