very safe place! you can leave your belongings on the table and it would most likely still be there if it’s a crowded area. we don’t have to look out for robbers 24/7 either. i feel comfortable walking alone at night

Singapore is a very safe place and great for solo female travelling. The locals might appear cold but they are helpful when asked and the government does an amazing job to ensure safety at all times of the day and night

Very safe country (: People use their valuables to reserve seats without worrying that things would go missing, you can see many people out and about even late into the night. Young children are also seen regularly commuting on their own.

Generally very safe for women travellers, even at night. There are CCTV cameras almost everywhere and the police are very efficient. Occurrence of violent crimes is quite rare. Still, exercise caution especially when going to clubs, dark alleys

Singapore has very strict laws. Every wrong things you do will have consequences. It is a country that has fines for quite alot of things. Especially littering. Police often to rounds and there are also alot of cameras.

Singapore is extremely safe and perfect for first time female solo travelers. You need not worry about walking late at night, streets are well lit and taking the public transport is safe and the most common form of commute as it’s affordable too.

No issues with solo women walking alone late into the night. Partying is also overall very safe. While safety is generally not an issue, do apply common sense such as not flashing valuables in public.

Singapore is very safe even at night, minus specific areas such as Geylang / areas with bars past certain times. Even at such areas I’ve generally felt pretty safe at night post drinking - barring a few incidents where i was yelled at by drunk men. It’s a safe country, people do leave their stuff like laptops & phones on tables while going to the toilet - obviously not advisable but I’ve been doing that my entire life and never lost anything 🤣

Singapore, Solo travel
I always felt extremely safe while solo traveling in Singapore. I used their public transportation to get around most of the time, which was terrific and easy to navigate. I also used Grab a few times. The treetop walk was breathtaking, a must see! It’s a more expensive place than nearby countries, but the infrastructure was beautiful and I never once felt uneasy or unsafe. Food at hawker centers was delicious and very affordable. People generally mind their own business, but were kind and friendly if I had a question or needed help. I plan to go back!

Gardens by the bay is a must visit! Beautiful and special architecture and we saw free roaming lizards and monkeys in the palm of the world. Most of the food we had in Singapore are expensive and average. Malaysia has better and cheaper ones! Durian ice-cream in co-nut-ink was our favourite. Weather was unbearably hot and humid. I got heat rash when there
