Is Moscow Safe for Solo Female Travelers?

Family travel

I visited Moscow and really liked it. It has a powerful energy, beautiful architecture, rich history, and a very dynamic city life.

honestly it was amazing! i really loved Moscow that time, the atmosphere in august is special. i visited a few museums and enjoyed it, but the best part was just findind random neighborhoods and exploring them. i literally adored the garden and the street where it was located that was next to my hostel and a quiet central neighborhood where i went to the museum. i also love Moscow transportation so much, the subway there is a masterpiece, especially some stations in the downtown

The metro feels safe both day and night, though on weekend evenings you’re pretty likely to run into a fair number of drunk guys on the trains.

Moscow is overall safe! not so many pickpockets (my friends and and I have basically 1-2 cases for all of our lives). You don’t really need to hold onto your bag all the time or think of some additional measures to cope with pickpockets. Just stay aware and don’t leave your belongings anywhere (if you want to save a seat don’t use your phone or bag, a scarf or a hat is okay)).
