I personally felt safe traveling around Almaty, Kazakhstan. I had no problems traveling throughout Almaty as a woman. Like most cities, you will want to exercise normal safety precautions when you travel to Kazakhstan. Be mindful of your belongings, particularly in crowded areas. Don't go out alone after dark; I only walked around the city on my own during the day and was always with other people at night. Use the Yandex Go app to arrange for official transportation around the city instead of trying to hail a car. Keep your valuables in your hotel safe and keep money/cards in zippered pockets on your body.
