The southern part of Mumbai is very safe for tourists. Colaba has lots of hotels, cafes and restaurants. Locals are friendly and helpful, but there will also be people asking for money, so it's good to learn how to deal with that. Some men will be overly "helpful", in my experience it's best to be friendly but assertive when you decline their assistance.

In general I find this city very safe. But as a foreigner I get too much attention. Some people are trying to take pictures of me. I don’t have experience with public transport, but Uber is very safe. I personally don’t feel ok with walking alone after 11 pm

Mumbai is the city that never sleeps of Asia. My heart got stuck over there. As a woman, you obviously get a lot of attention, a lot of looks. I found the best way to handle it was to not look back, keep walking straight as if you know the way. I never had any problems worse than that.

Mumbai is one of the safest place in India, even during night-time. The pubs, night-life is also safe here. Mumbaikars are very vigilant and the Mumbai Police is very efficient and they keep anti-social elements under check.
Posted: January 6, 2026Mumbai is safer than a lot of Indian cities, I felt safe in a park at 03:00am as I kept waiting for the local to go back to my stay! I had a decent anda bhurji at 04:00am and took the first local I could find and that was it.

It's safe for most regions and timings. The downside is the crowd is judgmental on a person's clothing and appearance, you'll get a lot of creepy stares if you outfit is revealing from personal experience

Mumbai is generally safe for women, especially in well-known areas — the city truly never sleeps and always feels alive! 🌆 I have lived here for 15 years now and have never faced any issue whether its late night or evening

The city is busy, some parts more than others. So there’s thoroughfare throughout, you’d find traffic at bust junctions even 2am on some nights! Some parts are sketchy, like most cities, but even then, I’d say it’s relatively safer if you are smart about avoiding those

I work in the mumbai entertainment industry or Bollywood as a creative director and writer producer while also being an avid traveller and have travelled across the globe extensively, so I realise the importance of meeting locals to guide one through a new city to make the journey easier.
