Is Moscow safe for solo female travelers?

Solo travel

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.

In 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.

In 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.

In my 23 years of life my phone was stolen once in metro and sometimes i get cat called. In my life i’ve been harassed couple of times in public transport by marginals, but there are a lot of people you can and should ask for help- most men and women will stand up for you if you ask directly.

actually is pretty safe, because everywhere you can find cameras and russian people can help you, but you should choose districts for visiting accurately. you also shouldn't go for a walk alone (with friends (especially male) it would be better)
