Singapore is super safe! Streets are clean and safe even at night, though the night scene currently (Aug 2025) isn’t very happening, there’s more than enough nightlife available while being super safe :)

Singapore is incredibly safe especially during the day, but doesn’t mean the country is safe from predators. Be very careful when meeting with male individuals on sites such as Reddit because of creeps and predators. This is especially true if they know you’re vulnerable. Singapore is a small country and it’s easy to find out where you’re at based on what you share so don’t ever share too much. There are guys here who cyberstalk female individuals online to pin point their location. DO NOT ever meet with strangers at secluded area like hiking trails unless you know they’re trustworthy, this is for your safety especially since there isn’t much cctv in the trails. This is also true for cinemas because I’ve read of a woman being felt up by someone they just met during the film. If you suspect ANYTHING, slowly redraw yourself from the conversation.

Singapore is relatively safe for a women to be in. Perhaps not comfortable if you stand out, but safe. Going out at night is I would say safer than most countries, I’ve not had cases where I’ve ever been followed or stalked. Regardless do practice safety and make sure someone always knows where you are!

Singapore is one of the safest country for anyone to travel to regardless of gender. It's a very inclusive place to travel to. Singapore is well known for its greenery and its robust food culture. So do make sure to visit the hawker centres there and some naturistic spots like botanical gardens. 1 activity I don't see people recommend8ng would be island hopping. So there's alot of islands surrounding singapore like St John's island or pulau ubin that offers many activities like hiking, swimming or just interacting With the nature. So do check it out!!
