based on 5 experiences from female travelers
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.

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
Posted: June 24, 2026Generally safe if you are aware. Be careful about who you go out with, strangers may not always be trusted. Metros are a safer option over buses. Share location with family or friends while travelling via cabs.

Pichpocketing, cat calling, unwanted brushes in crowd is unavoidable. Do not trust strangers, even women. Explore in well lit and well populated areas. Don't book an accommodation in OldDelhi. You will find one auto driver or shopkeeper who is genuinely sincere. Always listen to your instinct, if it tells you to run, don't overthink
