Is Jakarta Safe for Women? Crime Rates & Safety Reports

In Jakarta, you can easily using public transportation with only using one card, but I’m not recommend to walking on pedestrian. For woman, when you walking alone, there’s a lot of people will cat calling.

As a female, I don't recommend walking alone at night. Take an uber / taxi please. As long as you're not out alone in the streets, you're pretty safe. I don't worry about safety in the malls or any indoors but definitely be careful and vigilant in car parks.

Hi ladies, I have been live in Jakarta almost 20 years. In my experience snd opionion is safe for woman travel. We had public transportation till mid night, and also apps like grab and gojeg is easy to used. Also people so friendly

The center if Jakarta is very nice to walk at night. We don’t have many things to do but our night life is quiet good. Food is fantastic and people ate generally super nice. A lot if places offer air conditioning inside as Jakarta os super hot mid day.

I walk late at night whether coming from a late business meeting , or just going out and find food to eat I feel safe. I try riding grab, bluebird, taxi , motor bike and all safe in Jakarta. I tried train and bus, people are respectful.

Sexual harassment in the streets of Jakarta is apparent in the form of catcalling and in the most extreme case which was personally experienced, groping. Aside from this, no other form of danger like theft, kidnap and rape have ever been a concern at the time of living in this city. However, taking caution was always practised when walking alone whether it be during the day or night.

Hi all, im born and rise in Jakarta. Here is very safety place i could recom you to visit. Something you need to know about jakarta is the traffic jam. Other than that, everything are great. Our food, museum, cafe, cleaness are very satisfying.

Jakarta is very safe. I walk around a lot and the peope here are really friendly. But, for your safety it is better to use crossbody bags, and be careful for pickpocket or scams. Better to keep you belongings hidden

Jakarta is a large city, it had its safety considerations. It is vibrant and dynamic metropolis, but there are certain areas that may be less safe, particularly for tourists or those unfamiliar with the city’s layout and dynamics. Crime rates can be higher in certain areas especially crowded markets or tourists hotspots. Jakarta’s most challenging part is their traffic congestion and pollution, which can indirectly impact safety. But with proper precautions and awareness, you can definitely enjoy its diverse experiences with relative security:)

Jakarta is a big capital modern city. Some parts of Jakarta has its pro and cons. Growing up in Jakarta born and raised taught me a lot about living experience as much as I still facing the world. Overall whenever we are, we must be careful about our own safety and use our feelings.

Solo travel

Jakarta was my first destination outside of Europe that I traveled solo to. I was a bit scared and overwhelmed at first. But I didn’t feel unsafe or uncomfortable any time, even while walking alone in the streets. People were amazing, welcoming and really helpful. It’s definitely not a place for everyone, the “sights” are nothing special but the culture and atmosphere is there. I stayed in a hostel called The Packers Lodge and I can only recommend it. Great for meeting people, welcoming, clean with a kitchen.

Solo travel

Alot of people told me there isnt anything in Jakarta but I still went ahead with a solo trip. The people in Jakarta are very friendly and helpful. I stayed in All Season Thamrin Hotel which is 10 mins walk to the malls . Thamrin City was my favourite as I could purchase cloths at wholesale price. I went to Jakarta old town and I love the peaceful surroundings. Jakarta has MRT but I didnt commute. Most of the time I used GoJek their private hirer and its really affordable. Their food is amazing dont forget to try their Jamu drink if you are visiting.
