Is Quezon City safe for solo female travelers?

Quezon City, like many other parts of the Philippines, requires a bit of caution but is overall reasonably safe for solo female travelers. General safety measures that a woman needs to take while traveling alone, like avoiding walking alone at night especially in isolated areas and keeping valuables secure, apply in Quezon City as well. While instances of pickpocketing and petty theft are reported, violent crime is relatively low. Local people are generally friendly and helpful. Public transportation is reliable but crowded during peak hours, and traffic can get a bit chaotic. Overseas travel advisory bodies typically suggest exercising a high degree of caution when traveling in the Philippines.

Generally, this city is safer than other places in Manila. It has a lot of malls, shared spaces, and events places to go to. Just keep your belongings safe and better ask authorities for directions and assistance.

Compared to other parts of Metro Manila, Quezon City is considered relatively safe. There's much more space and personal space. Still, QC is still a huge place, and outside of Diliman where I reside, and Cubao-Katipunan areas which I frequent, I would not be comfortable alone, especially at night.

its safe because its a city, some areas are only dangerous at night but not really. it’s fairly safe to walk at night for ladies. Just be careful who you’re with especially if you just met them. Always be cautious in your soroundings

Cubao, Quezon City is pretty safe, a lot of working professionals in my area. I have been living here since 2018 and it has been pretty safe. There are police making rounds and a lot of security guards as well.

Relatively safe with Barangay officials roaming the streets day and night. No murders, thefts, kidnapping, rapes. People are friendly. Government officials are approachable. Safe to travel at night.
