It was a really nice trip. You can travel on a budget. There’s lots to see and do. I’d definitely try local cuisine, there’s a wide choice of dineries. Taxi is affordable, safe. Avoid travelling in the rush hour, the streets can be blocked.

Moscow is a really safe city. It has clean streets, good traffic management and kind people. I live here for a 7 years. I’m really enjoying all the benefits of this city. A well-organised transport system makes it easy to get to work or meetings with friends. Also there is a wise selection of food in cafes and restaurants. There are many places to walk or do other activities.

Moscow is a fairly safe city, and I haven't encountered any dangerous situations in my 23 years here. For example, if you drop your wallet on the subway, people are more likely to pick it up and run after you to return it rather than steal it, but there may be exceptions, just like anywhere else. Be cautious just in case.
Posted: October 15, 2025In the centre of Moscow it's pretty safe. Nevertheless I should be careful with your purse and phone in rush hour in metro. Also, it's better to have a company to walk after the sunset. Be afraid of drunk people. Especially if you want to visit some near towns like Odintsovo, Himki, Ludertsy, Balashiha etc.
Posted: October 6, 2025In general Moscow, especially central areas are very safe for women. But if something happens, police doesn’t help immediately. Bad crimes happen, but not often. Of course it’s better not to walk alone in the dark time in the bad areas, but in the center everything is fine and cameras are everywhere.

during the day moscow is pretty safe, at night suburbs can be a bit dangerous but city center is safe. there are cameras and policemen everywhere. people usually help when they see that someone tries to do something weird to you.
