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!

It's safe to walk around the town at night, no thefts, many cameras to observe the situation on the street. Hotels are safe to stay in, no hidden cameras whatsoever. The only downside is the police which sometimes may get lazy to work with foreigners, but really depends on the police station

I believe that it’s super safe here. People are kind here. I had a few times when I accidentally left my wallet at home and strangers paid for my public transportation tickets. You can ask strangers to look after your stuff and be sure nothing will be stolen. Well, of course you should follow basic safety rules no matter how safe the city is. I mean, don’t leave your drink unattended if you’re alone at some bar

I live here for all my life and honestly nothing bad happened to me. I am not a fan of walking alone at night but if it is needed it’s not the end of the world. Sudbury are quite safe as a city center.

To be honest, it really depends on the region of the city that you choose. If it's something in the outskirts (like Murino), than it's dangerous. The centre of the city is packed with people most of the time and even in the night, and it also has a lot of police on the streets. From my childhood I lived in the so-called "criminal" part of the city, Kupchino, but neither I or my girlfriends have never experienced anything assaulting. The city is mostly full of some freaks and weirdos, but they are mostly harmless. But overall, I sometimes feel more safe in S-Petersburg, than in Austria (where I live now)

Saint-Petersburg is a big city, but I fell pretty safe out there. I have never been robbed or attacked on the street and I walk a lot even after midnight. Of course you should be careful about places you go, but it just a common rule for everything
