How safe is Singapore?

If I was doing some work at a cafe and needed to go to the restroom, I would be able to trust the person beside my table to look after my belongings for awhile. I would be able to get home without qualms after a late night with friends by public transport.

I work all hours of the day. On days that I finish work at 9.30pm, I feel safe traveling back home knowing that the public transport is still running and everyone minds their own business. I normally reach home after 11pm, sometimes close to midnight if I work afternoon shifts.

I often leave my front door unlocked and I've no issues with walking down an alley at the red light district by myself. People leaves you alone. You can find YouTube videos showing people leaving their valuables in a busy place and their stuff remains untouched.

Singapore is literally the safest city out there! With street lamps that keep the roads and pavements always well lit, and public transport that is frequent, reliable and well-connected, you never have to worry! Everyone speaks English, so you can always ask for help (Singaporeans are very friendly). It's quite a lively city, so you don't ever feel too creeped out. In the unlikely event something does happen, the police is very responsive and reliable.

Probably one of the safest countries in the world. Safe while walking very late at night night, after going to bars and a night out. Public transportation is very clean and very safe to use during operational times.

Singapore is generally a safe place. If you are ever in trouble, the police are pretty dependable. You can walk at night safely and most roads are well lit. The laws in Singapore are pretty strict, providing a safe space for tourists and the locals. You do not hav to worry much about being mugged or kidnapped. Do note that drugs are a no no, punishable by death sentence.

Very safe, as with all places there are certain areas to be cautious in late at night but shops are open late, public transport is accessible and easy, people are generally very law-abiding and there’s not very many remote places where you won’t be able to find help if you need it.

Singapore has one of the lowest crime rates. We have strict laws. It’s safe to walk alone at night. If you leave your stuff out, no one is gonna steal it. Usually if you lose your stuff, high chance of someone returning it to you!

Super safe, I can roam around freely at night, doing night jogs around my reservoir. People here may scowl but they aren’t unfriendly, just tired from overworking.. There may be a lot of foreign workers but majority of them are very friendly and far away from home and sad. They’re here to earn money not to harm anyone. But regardless, no matter how safe Singapore is, they could be one or two rotten apples, so stay vigilant and take care.

Is Singapore safe to travel?

4.9 /5

Based on 16 experiences

Solo travel experience

I traveled to Singapore for one weekend from the Philippines. It was a last minute trip and I felt better booking the trip knowing I had family there at that time. I stayed in a little hotel away from all of the action and I took Lyft for most of my time in Singapore. Next time I will book closer to Sentosa and downtown so it is more convenient. I felt relatively safe traveling on my own and would definitely go back!

Solo travel experience

It’s the safest city I’ve ever been. Even during late night, walking solo in little streets feels safe. The rules in Singapore are strict and this leads to a very respectful environment. If you cross the road with a man, the man will do two steps on the opposite side than you to avoid touching you by any chance. They want to avoid troubles. Enjoy the city (which is amazing) in the safest mood even if you are a female solo traveller!

Is Singapore worth visiting?

Overall rating

Solo travel experience

I had a great experience. It was a good size for seeing around in short time. People are kind. City is clean. Food is tasty. Only bad point is that many things are more expensive. But you can get affordable price and tasty food at hookers.

I loved traveling to Singapore, I've stayed there for an exchange experience as a student and it was just amazing. Definitely recommend mala food if you like spicy food and definitely try indian food and don't forget to try kaya toast with egg for breakfast! Also, my favorite area was kampong glam, but overall I enjoyed Singaporean contrasts.
