Safety level is great both at night and during the day. Local people are very hospitable and polite. You might encounter local gypsies and beggars, but if you ignore them you will be just fine. If you want to explore places far from the city center, get dressed like locals )

Generally, Uzbekistan is very safe country. Street robbery is very rare (happened only twice for whole my life). Women can travel across the cities. Some men can be jerks by catcalling, annoyingly offering their services or products.

There are a lot of national guard personnel around, I feel safe, the markets are cheap, you can find anything, there are few thieves, just don't leave your wallets and bags anywhere, be careful, you can't use cards everywhere, so keep your money in a safe place.

The people are friendly, everyone minds their own life, and they are hospitable The crime rate is low, it is safe to walk at night, and there is legal protection. Women do not face pressure, and gender equality exists. There are hotels, shops, markets, schools, kindergartens, parks — everything you need.
