Is Salvador da Bahia safe for solo female travelers?
Salvador da Bahia can be quite challenging for solo female travelers. Although it is rich in culture and beauty, the city has areas with high crime rates. It is important to stay alert, avoid wandering alone at night or in less crowded areas. Always keep your belongings secure. However, locals are usually very hospitable and there are safe tourist areas and accommodations with trusted staff.

Salvador is a 3 million people capital city in Brazil. As in any big city, crime is an issue, but I don't feel unsafe very often. I'd recommend to always keep your belongings close to you, wear backpacks turned to the front not on the back, don't give your phone to strangers take photos, always be aware of your surroundings trying to identify some suspect moviment, take an uber instead of public transportation always it's possible, don't walk alone in deserted streets (day or night), don't get drunk or do drugs with strangers, don't trust strangers. I believe you should take care of yourself just like in any city with medium crime rates.
