Is Cebu City Safe for Women? Crime Rate in Cebu City

Crowded areas such as downtown or in marketplace areas are quite known to have pickpockets. Even public buses have pickpocketers, so please be careful. Late night walks alone are not really encourage. But if you want to do it, better do it with a group. Men are always men whenever and wherever so let's just be careful and stay safe ladies~

Cebu City is a decent city especially for the working group. It is mostly safe, but given the considerably high population, it's still not 100% safe especially at night and in certain areas of the city.

There will be places to walk any time of the day, that's IT Park. But outside of that, I don't feel safe walking in the dark specially alone... I'd rather not. Though it's pretty much safe to go around as long as the sun is out still. Just be vigilant with your belongings when visiting downtown(Colon area)

Cebu City is vibrant and safe just make sure tonknow where you're going and ofcourse take extra careful in the decisions and actions you do. There are a lot of great places to visit and have fun. Food is amazing ofcourse!

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!

Fairly safe because I went to an urban area. Fewer people and less traffic when you go in the middle of the day between 10 am to 2 pm. I stayed at an air bnb in Lapulapu area and it was 1,500 per night. It has a pool area and for the transportation, you can get by with grab taxi, a jeepney or when you're feeling brave like me, I use Mototaxi (motorcycle 🏍️) to get by places. So much faster and affordable. But you can rent a car too if you know how to drive which unfortunately am not. So far, lots of good restaurants everywhere and good food to eat in places like SM and Ayala.
