🛡️ Safety

Delhi55/100Safety Score78/100Tbilisi

Delhi

Delhi is generally safe for tourists who take standard precautions. Petty crime (pickpocketing, scams) is the main concern, particularly in crowded tourist areas and on public transport. Solo female travelers should exercise extra caution, especially after dark. The city's traffic is chaotic and dangerous for pedestrians.

Tbilisi

Tbilisi is remarkably safe for tourists. Georgia consistently ranks as one of the safest countries in the region, with very low rates of violent crime. Petty theft is uncommon compared to Western European cities. The biggest risks are traffic (drivers can be aggressive) and overindulging at a supra feast.

🚇 Getting Around

Delhi

Delhi has excellent public transport anchored by the massive Metro system. Auto-rickshaws, ride-hailing apps (Uber and Ola), and cycle rickshaws fill the gaps. Traffic is notoriously congested, especially during rush hours. The Metro is usually the fastest way to get around.

Walkability: Delhi is not a walkable city overall — distances are vast, sidewalks are often broken or nonexistent, and traffic is aggressive. However, specific areas are great for walking: Old Delhi (Chandni Chowk to Jama Masjid), Connaught Place, Lodhi Garden area, and Hauz Khas Village. Always carry water and sun protection.

Delhi Metro₹10-60 (~$0.12-0.72) depending on distance
Uber / Ola₹100-500 (~$1.20-6) for most city trips
Auto-rickshaws₹30-200 (~$0.36-2.40) for short-to-medium trips

Tbilisi

Tbilisi has a metro system, buses, and marshrutkas (minibuses). The city is walkable in the center but spread across a valley, so transit is helpful for longer distances. Ride-hailing apps are extremely affordable and the most convenient way to get around.

Walkability: The Old Town is very walkable but hilly — wear comfortable shoes. The area from Rustaveli Avenue through Rike Park to the Old Town is excellent on foot. Distances between neighborhoods can be significant, and the steep terrain makes walking tiring over longer distances. Bolt is your friend.

Tbilisi Metro (2 lines)0.50 GEL ($0.19) per ride
Buses & Marshrutkas0.50 GEL ($0.19) by bus; 0.80 GEL ($0.30) by marshrutka
Bolt / Maxim3-10 GEL ($1.10-3.70) for most city trips
