Is Kazan safe for solo female travelers?

Kazan is generally safe for solo female travelers. Even though petty crimes including pickpocketing can occur occasionally particularly in crowded places, violent crimes against tourists are rare. Local people are friendly and a good number is fluent in English, so getting help or guidance when necessary is rather straightforward. However, like in any other city across the world, it is recommended to be always vigilant, especially during the night and in less crowded areas. Safe accommodations and public transportation are also readily available, adding to the overall safety of the city.

Kazan is relatively safe city, I especially regarding the fact that it’s the capital of a Muslim republic. It’s ok to walk alone even when it’s dark in almost all the city areas expect for Aviastroitelny neighbourhood

It’s very safe place, especially touristic areas. You can walk safely after dark and still feel safe. Just use the main safety rules and you’ll be just fine. If you have some troubles just ask for a help or contact police.

It’s a safe city, but I would not recommend walking at night alone (maybe only in city center, there are lot of tourists). At dark time you might meet drunk people and this meeting is better to be avoided.

I actually feel safe here. While commuting alone, I've never felt unsafe. I'm a university stydent so travelling is a major part of my daily routine. Sometimes there are drunk old menwho catcall you but it happens very rarely. So overall it's safe but it's always better to maintain your distance from these creeps
