Is Seoul safe for solo female travelers?

Solo travel

I had a weekend trip to Seoul, it's great in general. Download KakaoMap, it's amazing for navigating. Buy T-Money Card, it can also be found at the airport, for the public transport. You can prepare a little bit of cash, but many places I visited only accept cards so I think too much cash are not needed.

Family travel

I felt safe in Seoul, food was delicious and getting around the city with metro was really easy. Prices were moderate. It was a great experience, we did basic sightseeing with palaces and popular areas like Gangnam.

Solo travel

I felt save traveling alone. Love market in Mangwon district - amazing food, good prices. Had accommodation also here - perfect place for calm stay! Recommend wowpass as debit card, t-money and esim. Also used climate card for unlimited transport in Seoul - best choice.

Seoul is super safe and easy to explore solo! The city’s clean, and people are gernerally nice to foreigners. And public transport’s great too. But just stay aware in nightlife spots or late at night like anywhere else.

Cameras and people are everywhere 24h/24h I traveled there alone for 10 days, and except for some old people disliking foreigners, nothing happened to me ! I felt safe walking around alone and taking public transport !

I'd say it's fairly safe during the day. And you will be ok if you have common sense, even at night. I mostly feel safe on public transportation, too. But some report sexual harassment on the subway, so it doesn't hurt to be careful.
