A fascinating city that blends old and new. Safety travelling solo at night can be a concern at night, so take precautions. The good was amazing. The nightlife is great too - lots of great rooftop bars.

It is a moderately safe city, just make sure to be aware of your surroundings especially in crowded places like bus stations, because of pick pocket people. There are certain areas where I would not recommend going during the day such as El Chorrillo lol Unless you are going with someone who actually lives in the area, so that people can see you are with a local.

Cat calling and street harrasment happen constantly, unfortunately, but it doesn't often escalate into more. Public transportation, especially the subway and uber, are very safe and reliable. I would not trust yellow taxis, especially after dark or if you are a woman who travels alone.
