Is Seoul Safe for Women? Crime Rate in Seoul

I would say it is fairly okay just because there are lots of cameras, I would feel safe walking home at the evening. But everything can happen and you have to be careful anyways cause you never know.

Seoul is a pretty safe city, probably one of the safest. There are few infamous areas, but not at all common to be unsafe. You would even feel safe laying in the streets in 2am if you stay in a more central area.

Overall very safe. However, there are different security issues depending on the region. The area I live in is near the university campus, where most of the students live, or most of the people live in family units, and there should be many families with children living nearby, so the safety factor is relatively high. But other areas, such as areas with a lot of foreigners, may be relatively less safe, and there may be many people who get drunk at night, but I don't go to those areas because I don't like them very much, and I don't know much. Overall, most of the area is very safe!

Seoul is one of the most safest cities in the world, it is not because i am korean, but because a solo traveler as a female, literally it's safe city in that you can walk around at dawn and you can go anywhere with transportation.

Safe , much safer than any other cities But always be careful And make sure not to walk around alone not sober on the street located in the corner (just like in any other cities) Stay in crowded street !

Should be cautious of hidden cameras in public ladies room and sexual harassment by glance at breast and legs of women. Must be careful to drink anything in clubs or so. Mind to take public transportation on commuting time because it would be packed and disgusting boys get closer and touch.

Attacks and assault in public do not happen as often as they do in other places, but when they do the law always favors the man’s side and you cannot protect yourself so in that sense it is unsafe, a lot of men here think they are entitled to your attention and will be very pushy because they think foreign women are “easy”.

Seoul is a safe city, even at night. The public transport feels safe and I never worry about walking or being alone. The people are very friendly and can be helpful and if there is danger, the police are known to be quick to come. There are many surveillance cameras for safety, and most people are highly aware of that. No pick pocketing or weapon danger. It is a very safe city.

As you know, Seoul is the most safty city in the world. We can cross the street in the mid night. And we can put our cell phone or laptop on the table at cafe. Sometimes you can feel the Korean is so unkind but it's only they don't have smile. The Korean is so kind.

Solo travel

Seoul was fascinating in a way that I haven’t experienced before. Because it is a capital, you just realize after a while that it’s impossible to see all the places and find all the communities there. I stayed for 10 months and had the best time of my life! It felt much safer than Europe, but of course, no place (that I know of) qualifies as 100% safe. I lived in itaewon, a place with lots of tourists and night clubs, but going out at night was fun and if one place didn’t have the right energy, I could just move on to the next. My friend visited me while I lived there and she liked it as well :)

Group travel

It was my first travel so I went with an agency. Seoul is very lively! There is always entertainment in the street. Even the shops are open until late at night. I felt really safe there. I didnt try clubs and bar.
