How safe is Visakhapatnam for solo female travelers?

Family travel

Vizag is my hometown so yeah I have a soft spot for this place but for travelling it takes more time than any other state like from ahemdabad to Andhra it takes around 2 days in train. The place is safe but at night I would recommend carrying safety tools and stuff. It's a great place and many places are there to hangout, and visit..

The city has lately become very crowded but in general its a place full of helpful and nice people. There are certain areas that you must avoid as a solo traveller - if you’re in a group, Id rate the safety 4/5
