El Salvador is considered very safe now and I can agree there has been a lot of positive changes, nonetheless this a city built for cars so walking around feels lonely and not lively at all, you won’t find many people walking next to you at night so it can be nerve wrecking. Nonetheless, if you stay in the nicer areas I can assure you are safe, kidnappings are unheard of here and murders as well, but as a woman I am still cautious of men nonetheless.

Posted: December 25, 2024El Salvador’ safety rates have dramatically changed for better. It is a safer place than it was 3 or 5 years ago. You still need to be smart and careful because there are danger risks in every country. Overall, it’s a safe place to travel. Locals are the kindest people I’ve ever met from all the countries I’ve traveled.
