Is Guanajuato safe for solo female travelers?

Guanajuato is relatively safe for solo female travelers as the city experiences less crime than several other major cities in Mexico. However, like anywhere else, it is still vital for women traveling alone to maintain precautions at all times. An alert mind, good planning, and a cautious approach will help ensure a safe trip. Be vigilant in crowded areas due to the risk of pickpocketing and avoid wandering at night in deserted or poorly lit areas.

Safe area, I have traveled alone often, but avoid closed alleys, stay in busy places. It is a beautiful place full of art and culture, very fun and filled with gastronomy from different parts of the world, not just Mexican food.

Guanajuato is pretty safe if you are a foreigner, but you must be careful, not only at Guanajuato but in all Mexico. People is great, people is nice, but the problem is not inside civilians, but criminal organizations. So, if you stay at good hours and at currently places, there’s nothing to worry about.
