The Center of Brasília (Plano Piloto) is quite safe, regardless of the time (except for a few places like the bus station and Setor Comercial Sul - SCS). It's easier to get lost walking around than to become a victim of a crime.

My trip to Brasilia was in a group and only a few days, but the whole time I was there I felt safe and it was also very beautiful. I would recommend it to anyone Who wanted to travel to Brazil In addition to being a mix of political history and beauty

Posted: March 25, 2025Except the “Rodoviária do plano piloto” and the highway call “W3”, Brasília is very safe. The places I mentioned have a lot of people and tend to have beggars too. In "W3" there are usually prostitutes at night too. I recommend not going to the satellite cities, as the center, the so-called "Plano Pilot" is much safer.
Posted: February 12, 2025Brasília is safer in comparison to other Brazilian capitals, but it is still a dangerous city for women to walk alone at night, especially because the night life is not as active as other binge cities
