Santiago is very beautiful for going out, even so you should always stay alert and not visit risky places. I really like the sunset you can see and going out to different kinds of places you can find in the city.

I don't have fotos cause I'm a granny with a cheap cellphone 🙃😅 I was in Santiago d'or one week in a neighborhood near downtown. At the beginning I didn't feel so comfortable cause there was some.littering and some suspicious people on the streets, but then I got used to it and as I got to know the neighborhood and the transportation I understood that it was an average neighborhood. Near the tourist zones I was more aware of people looking at my cellphone or at my waist bag, and even one guy...

Santiago is a good city for solo travelling. There are many hostels where you can meet other people and enjoy your stay together. I felt very safe in Santiago as people were super nice, friendly and welcoming.

I have been walking around alone in the Bellavista area and never had anything suspicious. I have been feeling quite safe. For that I do make sure I don’t look wandering about and usually walk with a purpose and don’t go wandering around ar night.

I was in Santiago for 2 days and I fell in love with this city. I stayed in the central part and felt quite safe there. I recommend going on wine tours near Santiago, as well as visiting Portillo, where Laguna del Inca is located. In addition, the best neighborhoods to stay in are Providencia, Las Condes, Bellavista, and Vitacura.

I liked Chile as a country, but I absolutely hated Santiago. I never felt safe there. On my first night, a certain man started following me, and the whole city was full of homeless people and graffiti on every building, which just took away its beauty. I was annoyed that I had booked a week there, so I tried to fill most of my days with day trips outside of Santiago, and I really enjoyed that. There was really nothing particularly cool or interesting to do there. I was there in February, during...

Santiago has the full spectrum of safety depending on the district you are in. Lo Barnechea, Las Condés, Vitacura, and Providencia are the safest districts. Santiago Centro is less safe, but it is the area where you will find the most historic buildings as well as cultural activities.

It's not like most people describe it, it's safe, obviously there are thefts if you're holding your phone in your hand at night. There are many places to visit and people in general are friendly.

Santiago is a really stressed city with a lot of movement, and you always have to take care of your belongings in public transportation but at the same time there's a lot of places to have fun for tourists

Generally safer at daytime, but pickpocketers are everywhere and everytime. Mind your phones and valuables at all times. Prefer higher income parts of the city and stay away from city limits. Los Dominicos, la Dehesa, Las Condes, Providencia are safer to stay as a woman.

Santiago is as safe as any big city, if you are sensible about your surroundings and belonings you should be fine. Fewer people speak english than in the more touristy areas so learning spanish before you come will help, athough the accent is still hard to understand

Santiago is quite safe, but certain neighborhoods should be avoided, such as Bellavista. Don't go alone, and if it gets late, call an Uber. Don't walk through the streets in that area after 9:00 p.m. Also, when walking through crowded places, don't carry your backpack on your back to avoid theft.
