Is Taipei safe for women?

Because of work, I often walk home alone after 12a.m. I always walk on the road listening to music and feel safe. Sometimes I leave my wallet where I have just been. When I go back to there, my walllet is still in place. So I think Taiwan is a nice place to travel.

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.

I 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!

It'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.

I 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!

Taipei 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!
