Is Saint Petersburg Safe for Solo Female Travelers?

Family travel

I stayed at Kino Hostel. We took the separate room for 2p. I felt safe. From the centre it’s more dirty but overall I loved it. The museums are must have to go to! But you need hours to see all of the paintings! Prepare comfortable shoes!

pretty safe, I was never in a trouble, but it's always possible to be there in every country and every city :) just don't walk at night alone in quiet and dark places, the potential danger is drunk South People

This city is very safe, but still, you can never be too careful when you're in an unfamiliar city or country. During the day I can't really single out any particular areas, but at night it's important to be careful in deserted places and on the outskirts of the city — just like in any other city, in my opinion.

it’s quite a safe place, you shouldn’t be afraid at all, only at night in the suburbs you should be careful (like the final metro stations). also spb has a lot of bars, if you don’t like extra attention in some situations, go with guys who you trust or in companies (but it is still quite safe)

One of the things I appreciate most about Saint Petersburg is how safe it feels. As a woman, I feel comfortable walking around the city, even in the evening. It’s common to see children playing independently and people generally respect each other’s belongings. Of course, like any big city, it’s always wise to stay aware of your surroundings, but overall I find Saint Petersburg to be a welcoming and comfortable place to live.

Do not communicate with drunk men, do not get into an unfamiliar car, it is better to use an official Yandex taxi Don't agree to shooting street photographers, avoid animators on Palace Square, they cheat tourists for money

The city is actually very safe. I often walk alone at night or run in parks at night as well (often that's the only free time I have ;)). Of course, it's better not to wander around abandoned buildings or industrial areas, as homeless people might be sleeping there, but even the homeless are often friendly...
