Honestly, for the most part San Jose is not dangerous. There are some parts of East San Jose that I personally would not walk alone in. However, what San Jose does have are a lot of homeless people who sometimes are walking around and are on drugs. They usually don’t mess with you, but always stay cautious!

San Jose is pretty safe. Obviously the nicer areas are very safe, and the less nice areas are decently unsafe. In general, I would not recommend walking alone after dark or using public transport after dark. There are some super cute and super safe spots!

It is pretty safe for the most part. I always share my location with a family member. I do not stay out late at night either. The homeless people will for the most part stay to themselves. That is mostly the downtown area.
