Except for a few very small areas in the city, this is one of the safest places I've been to in the world. Walking around after dark, I feel much safer than in any North American city, whether I'm in the street or in public transport.

Lost wallet will come back to you. People more likely to talk to you to help you rather than to bother you. Very little homeless, you would only spot some in cities, but they are busy focusing on their lives rather than going out of their way to speak to a foreigner. Oh and amazing food

Taipei is very safe actually, even if i go out alone at night I'm still not worried. There are lights everywhere,so no need to worry about walking on dark alleys. But I would still be careful at night, there are some homeless people, but they are quite harmless just minding there own business.

Depends on the area, mostly safe, but need to be aware of the Ximen-Wanhua area. As long as you’re near the public transport, MRT or buses are usually active till 12:00-1:00 am. If you feel unsafe, make sure to reach out to the nearest convenience store, such as 7-11 or Family Mart. They are open 24 hours.

Very safe in most of the districts, people are nice and willing to help! There are some night clubs and bars, even coffee shops, Uber is safe to ride! Sometimes there are indeed strange people out there, but rarely encountered
Posted: May 11, 2025I grew up in Taipei and knew it was recognized as an incredibly safe city. In fact, it is so secure that when I moved out of Taiwan and visited other places, I realize how much I took it for granted. Please do not worry and have so much fun🤍

Taipei was so much fun, I was very young when I went there however the night markets were so much fun and food was so delicious. I travelled with family so we all stuck together, some things were a bit sketchy but as long as you stick to the brightly lit areas you’re fine.

I travelled to Taiwan, Taipeh with my friends and had the best time ever! The food was the best I had in a long time and for the price it was too good to be true. I felt so safe in Taipeh and never had any issues with feeling uncomfortable. But also around Taipeh I was so impressed by the nature. I highly recommend going there!!
