Guadalajara is a great city and really cool to visit alone but the People know thats your a tourist. Don't go outsider alone in the night. Don't go alone in quarter who are empty. Take an uber, it's safer and it's priceless. There are so many people who dispeared espacially women. Don't take a blablacar alone and who are not well rated : thats really dangerous !
Posted: November 12, 2025I've lived here my whole life and have never experienced anything bad happen to me. I don't live in a bad part of the city (but also not in the privileged, rich part which is safer), and I still haven't felt at risk.

Depends on the area where you're at and the time. Down town it's fine, you can walk and find a lot of people but for me it's better to walk before 9pm, it's ok if you want to walk later I just personally feel a bit unsafe there.
Posted: April 12, 2025Guadalajara’s hotspots and touristic spots are fairly safe in the daytime. But for a solo female traveller you really ought to be careful after dark, and ask locals about safety precautions and possible dangers.
Posted: January 5, 2025Guadalajara it’s a great destination if you come to Mexico. It’s full of cultural spots and new trendy places when it comes to art, design or even fashion. It’s a very safe city but you have to be careful in some areas
