Generally there is almost no problem with safety while being in public space in Taiwan. No need to worry if you would encounter pickpockets also. Leaving your valuable stuffs out of your sight shortly is normally not a problem.
Posted: August 26, 2024I can even ride the public bike on the 2am street which is actually even more safe than daytime. Because the danger in Taipei city is not sexual harassment,but the traffic. Also I would proud to say, if you accidentally drop your wallet on the street or forget your camera on the metro,like 80% you can get it back in the police office So if you visit my city,no need to worry about thief or pervert. Taiwaneses are generally polite and friendly!
Posted: August 20, 2024It's basically ok in most areas. Stay away from dark alleys or lanes with no people around. Taking transit to visit around is pretty easy. At night, it's better to walk in the streets with lights on.

Taiwan is one of the safest countries in the world. As a female, you don’t feel worried when you’re walking on the street alone at night. Highly recommend the place for female solo travelers! You’ll fall in love with the city.
Posted: July 31, 2024I believe Taipei is one of the safest cities in Asia. There’s no problem at all to go out alone at night, and you can simply leave all your belongings on the table to collect your food at McDonald’s. Nobody’s gonna touch/steal your stuffs :)

Taipei is the capital of Taiwan, with a low crime rate, convenient transportation, many accommodation options, and safety. I always feel really safe walking around alone, or being on the transportations, even late at night!

It’s a place where you can always find help, the people and the police are more than welcome to help you! And I can proudly say that as a female you don’t really need to be worried walking around alone
Posted: July 23, 2024Taipei City is a small but kindly place. People here are very friendly and even at the night the city still safe. Also the transportation is also convenient and is really safe. At night you can still buy lots of things in the night market or the convenient store. Furthermore, if you meet something dangerous, just go ahead to the convenience store to seek any help. Overall, Taipei is really convenient and safe!

Taipei is the capital city of Taiwan, the city is surrounded by mountains, for me it's the real urban jungle! You can enjoy both modernization and nature at the same time! Although Taiwan is a tiny country, but we have soooo much mountains and some of them are really difficult to hike, if you like ocean and mountain, you definitely should come to Taiwan!

Posted: April 23, 2024Experienced: March, 2024I was in Taipei for 3 days. The weather was a bit gloomy during Chinese New Year. We move around with MRT, bus and local train. The service is top notch. On time, cheap and clean. Food is average for me. It's People are polite and helpful if you try to communicate effectively. Taipei is the most safest city especially for solo female traveller. You can walk the street without so much worries. Accept the scooters. They are a bit reckless. I went with a group but will do it solo next time.

Hi folks, I’m from Taiwan. I know, a bit far and tiny, but we are strong people and live within beautiful mountains and surrounded by amazing heart-warming human beings. I tend to discover the unknown areas. Talk with locals, spend some time together. I like waste time in exploring. I like beautiful stories.
