Singapore is one the safest country in the world although we are the smallest! Crime rate is super low and you won’t feel unsafe walking around our brightly lit streets even in the wee hours of the night. Moreover, it’s an international hub with many expatriates around so you will not feel out of place at all!
Posted: July 23, 2024Singapore is very safe for solo female travellers. It is safe to be out at all night. Public transportation is also very safe, well connected and the best way to travel in Singapore. Although it is mostly known as an expensive city, it is definitely possible to save and do things cheaply.
Posted: July 19, 2024Singapore is generally one of the safest countries in the world. Any solo traveller be it male or female can find that it is easy to navigate around using public transport, walk safely in the dark (as it is brightly lit almost everywhere). There are tons of activities for you to enjoy - shopping, hiking, sightseeing, cafe-hopping etc etc

Singapore’s crime rate is one of the lowest in world and the country is very safe for all travellers. A prime example would be that people use personal items such as phones/cards to reserve a seat at food centres. Some also leave their bags containing valuables unattended, but no one steals their items.
Posted: July 15, 2024Extremely safe - you can even leave your personal belongings unattended to reserve a seat! It’s not unusual to see someone’s phone or wallet being used as a placeholder in public spaces. Females can walk around late at night with minimal safety concerns
Posted: July 14, 2024Singapore is very safe. In the 5 years I lived here I have never felt unsafe even when I go home from clubs at 5am. Usually transportation at night are cabs and I have never experienced any situation that made me feel like someone will harm me.
Posted: July 13, 2024Singapore is relatively quite safe to be going around alone as a woman. Most of the areas are well-lit and have surveillance cameras. Public transport are also quite convenient. There are police posts in every neighbourhood.

I have traveled in many countries before and have lived in Singapore for 20 years now. I can say that I feel safe returning home alone after 2am, sometimes with my earphones on (ok, that's not right, because we should still exercise some caution and not be too complacent anyhow). Whereas in some countries, I feel there are too many stares going around, or feel unsafe to return back to hostel after 11pm alone.
Posted: July 8, 2024It's safe to be walking the streets at night. But of course, avoid walking through the red light districts in the wee hours. No issues anywhere in the day. Violent crime is rare and a nation-shocker when one is reported.

Crime is rarely faced with. Just be wary of your belongings when in crowded areas and be respectful to other races, cultures, religions and practices. There’s also plenty to learn and experience despite being a small country

My experience in singapore was GREAT! I felt very safe and the people are extremely nice there as well. You meet a lot of local people and the food was AMAZING. Me and my family went to this Turkish restaurant and it was a 10/10! I recommend to definitely go to the gardens of the bay because it was such an amazing experience and it was absolutely beautiful. I also recommend to go on top of the Marina Bay Sands hotel with the boat and see the sunset, you won’t regret it.
Posted: July 24, 2024* Felt really safe * Loved the variety of the food * Very expensive * Small city and you could explore almost everything in three days * Very beautiful, clean and well-maintained *Stayed at the Pod by the Beach hostel: very clean, quiet and nice.

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.

If I’m not working, you’ll find me either cleaning the house or hanging out with my friends :) According to my friends, I’m “spontaneous” 😂 Would really love to travel more and make friends around the world :’)
