How safe is Cebu City for women?

Although it looks bad because there are awful streets it's safe, I haven't had any problems in the last 6 months that I am living here. The public transport is safe, taxi or motorbike at nights are the option that I used the most.

As the 2nd most developed city after Manila City, Cebu City is very urban tourist spot, popular for transit with its location. - Walking alone at night will warrant precautions. Stick to lit streets, there are a lot of security guards near establishments. No shortcut is worth it alone! - Construction sites at night are a particular hotspot of danger with guard dogs, possible debris and harassment from bored workers - As a tourist, you will be a target for petty scams and stealing especially around terminals, outside of malls, etc. - Never pet stray animals. There is a lot in the streets and rabies is possible. Stay smart and vigilant!

C in Cebu stands for canyoneering! For 2-3 hrs, you must have this adventure of unlimited jumping, trekking, going with the current, seeing waterfalls. Definitely, best decision to come to Algeria in South Cebu.
