Basically, in Kiev, in the same safe, as in most countries in Western Europe.
Organized crime exists, but crimes against visitors tend to have a low level and may include theft cash, credit cards, cell phones or wristwatches.
In Kiev in the daytime anyone can walk anywhere without any danger. In the night (after 23:00) don't walk alone for long distances (take a taxi) and avoid drunk persons. Keep eye on your pockets and mobile phones in subway, public transport and markets with plenty of people.
Visitors should take good note of the following:
Water - Drink only bottled or boiled water.
Rabies – There are large numbers of stray dogs in Kiev. Although the risk of catching rabies is actually quite small, anyone bitten should seek immediate medical attention.
During the winter, many of Kiev’s streets and sidewalks resemble ice rinks.
Ukrainian drivers commonly use the sidewalk as an extra lane.
Prostitution, although often discreet, is common in hotel lobbies and bars.
Ukraine has one of the fastest growing HIV/AIDS rates in Europe. The World Heath Organization estimates that there are 377,000 people in the country living with HIV/AIDS.
