Is Puebla City safe for solo female travelers?

Puebla City generally ranks as moderately safe, but like in many destinations, it still poses risk and requires caution. The overall crime rate is average. It's important to be aware of your surroundings, avoid traveling alone at night and stay in well-lit, populated areas. Scams and pickpocketing can occur, particularly in crowded tourist areas and on public transportation. So keep your belongings secure and don't display expensive items. Always use registered taxis or trusted rideshare services. But many solo female travelers have had positive experiences in Puebla City, reporting friendly locals and a rich cultural scene.

From my experience and what I hear from others in my city, the level of safety varies depending on the area and time of day. During the day, it’s moderately safe overall. For example, the historic city center is ideal for tourism and generally safe during daylight hours, but it becomes quite unsafe at night. Similarly, the newer urban developments are safe during the day but can also feel risky after dark.

It’s safe at day and it all depends on the zone. Don’t walk alone at night and go to our hotels/places/hostels not alone past 10:30 pm. I feel safe but if people see you very touristy you would catch eyes. I go to college in Cholula and feel pretty safe at night during semester. Alway a lot of movement over there but only in the street in front of Uni (14 oriente)
