Actually, India is not the safest space especially for girls. - Because of the culture it is not so common for a girl to wear a short dress (don’t open shoulders and knees) - Also, it has awful traffic and it is dangerous to cross the road sometimes so do it carefully - The food is spicy so take some pills with you if you don’t used to spicy food

You can be drunk and roaming in the streets at 1 AM and the chances of you being accompanied by a dog are more than anything bad happening, just avoid pro-kannada auto people, you are good. Make sure to know a few basic phrases just in case.

I think Bangalore is one of the safest cities in India. There are only 2 cities which are safe enough for women, that's Bangalore and Mumbai. Here they treat women like a person, almost like an equal most of the time. They'll haggle the same, mostly look at you the same as they will behave with a man. I don't think you can wear whatever you want but people are pretty much into their own thing, no one stares so much if you dress provocatively. I feel the streets are safer than the pubs in these case, less number of creeps, more behaved cab drivers vs a Delhi/Gurgaon/Noida belt.

Other than that it’s pretty safe - the city starts sleeping around 10-11pm. So until then you can travel unrestricted. After, you have to be careful. No violent crimes or anything though. No pickpocket, etc either. Just in terms of women safety.

Bangalore is a diverse, metropolitan city. I would say it’s fairly safe, particularly during the day. We have women-only compartments in the metro and women-only seats in public buses. During the night, there is vibrant pub culture but it’s better to stay vigilant, especially if you’re alone.

Pretty much safe in my experience, I have walked alone at 12, 1, 2, 3 AM (for short distances, after being dropped off like 200m away from my place). I've never experienced any problems with public transport as well.
