Is Seoul Safe for Women? Crime Rate in Seoul

It’s safe country here! You can put your luggage anywhere. No one steal your bag or your wallet. I think you should care when you in the club or bar.(sometimes, some strangers put the medicine in your cup) That’s all!

Seoul is one of the safest city in the world. I would be glad to tour you around here and share its culture with you. I have been living here for 3 years. So I have an pretty good idea around the city

It’s the safest country I’ve ever been to. I first cane here when I was 16 y.o by myself for a language program and I managed to stay for 2 months without any issues. That’s a big reason why I came back here for university.

Seoul is extremely safe for woman travelers, even solo. I go home in the middle of the night walking alone in every area of Seoul and never had any problem. You can meet some people wanting to practice their english so they will come up talk to you and my best advice is to ignore them as it can become weird. Never got stolen anything or encounter any big problem in 3 years there.

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.

Solo travel

Overall i felt safe. I wasnt harrased and noone was asking me weird questions. I wore fake engagement ring like during my other solo trips. I Walked alone in lat evening (around 11pm) and it was safe. I dont know how it is at night. I spent around 15-20 euro per day for food. I used visit seoul card and I can reccomend it only if you plan your trip right and use it a lot.

Solo travel

I felt very safe. I stayed in a hostel in a shared room. I loved the parks and generally walking around the old buildings. The street food was amazing. I would recommend not eating in restaurants and instead eating in the food stalls you can find everywhere. I got a korean prepaid card for public transportation and using it was so easy. You had to scan it when entering or exiting a bus and subways and they always showed your balance. So you always knew when to top up
