Solo travel
Its safe but not that much if you trust any stranger. Be smart while travelling and save all the helpline numbers. The best place for exploring food options. Lots of heritage and cultural attractions. Easy to commute. Easily find a good company anywhere. Great connectivity from other nstional and international destinations.

There are lots of delicious foods and numerous places to hang out. However, if you're a woman traveling alone, I wouldn't recommend it. It isn't safe... It would be better to go with a group or with someone close to you. Agra is one of the best places.

Delhi is the capital city of India. Many people here speak Hindi which is the national language of Indians. Parliament is located here. A good place for tourists too as there are many tourist spots. New Delhi is a good place to visit. The people are very friendly and people were visiting this place most because here there are so many tourist places like Red Fort, loutos temple, Indian Gate ect are present. I recommend that you visit new Delhi once. Thank you.!

I visited Delhi alone and decided to stay in the Connaught Place, recommended by my Indian colleagues. It turned out that the neighborhood was safe and comfortable during my stay. During the day, I explored the city on my own and visited many tourist attractions. In addition, I went on a one-day trip to Agra to admire the beauty of Taj Mahal.

It's mostly safe during the day but you still have to stay very alert. After night unless and until you are with a male you trust i would suggest not being outdoors. Better to stay indoors after 10 pm.
Posted: July 17, 2026Not very safe for the ladies. Avoid night travel and keep your belongings safe while roaming in the open. Also, don’t trust people easily here, and only trust on people you genuinely know. Stay protected from the pollution level too of the city.
Posted: July 16, 2026For the most part, Delhi is fine for travellers - central Delhi and South Delhi mostly. If you’re planning a trip those are the areas to stay. The other parts are fine for travelling but not very late at night.

As per normal people Delhi is not much safe for girls.. but I am living alone here from the past 5 years.. I had not faced any that kind of experience so I can say Delhi is safe. But in nights an alone girls can not travel in Delhi. It will scary sometimes
