Delhi is a historical place with so many beautiful monuments. The food here is the best in India. But the safety is not great, you can't go out at night even with friends, and hate the pollution here.

Delhi is beautiful location. Culturally rich. Many historical spaces. But safety i still don't know. I am very much afraid to take public transport. Metro is nice and competely safe. But bus and cabs i am still afraid
Posted: May 1, 2025Experienced: April, 2025I went many years back when I was in 11th grade and didn't feel very safe cause even when I was inside a car men were staring at me which made me feel uncomfortable even though I was with my parents

there are localities in south and central delhi that are very safe to throughout the day and night but anywhere else you should be a bit careful to be out after sunset. especially west and north delhi.
Posted: October 16, 2025Not safe at all especially not for us girls honestly I think that nobody should travel alone in this city! Always have pepper spray with u at all times and its advised to avoid staying out late but the area in delhi ncr is fairly better as the night life of noida and gurgaon is smthn u can look forward too! Again avoid isolated areas at all times and avoid talking to strangers too!
Posted: July 22, 2025Although Delhi is a lovely city, it is probably not the safest for solo women. My advice is to use the public transport, like the Delhi metro. Traveling alone during the day is absolutely fine, avoid traveling alone at night.

Pretty safe as long as as you’re vigilant around the night time. Make sure you don’t travel or commute alone at night. Late at night/ early morning Ola/ Uber are pretty safe to travel with. Apart from that have fun it is a fun city
Posted: June 30, 2025Delhi is unfrotunatrelnot very safe, particularly for solo woman travellers. Although, as a native, I know how to navigate the city to keep safe, it will not be very easy to understand the nuances. Travelling in groups is a good idea and if possible, a friend from India would be good. I would advise not going out after dark. Travelling in Delhi Metro is perfectly safe and it provides great connectivity. Uber is pretty cheap for the laste mile. If you want to take an auto🛺, that can also be booked on Uber, Ola or Rapido which will prevent the 'foreigner price' being quoted.

For me, travel is a journey through time. As an Indian, I believe history is not just written in books, but is woven into the very fabric of the land—a deep heritage that touches every monument, ruin, and street corner. I am driven by a deep fascination for the stories of civilizations past, seeking out the forgotten empires, ancient traditions, and architectural marvels that define a place. My goal is to always go beyond the surface, finding the human narrative within the stone and experiencing the vibrant, living legacy that connects the present to the past.
