I’m new to Surabaya, so I’m still getting to know the city and don’t have enough experience to judge its overall safety yet. I’ve noticed signs in some residential alleys asking people to switch off their motorcycle engines. When I asked a local resident, he said this was intended to help prevent motorcycle theft, though I haven’t verified that explanation.
Posted: September 18, 2026Moderately safe especially if you're in a busy area, but cat call and verbal harassment can happen a lot for women walking on the street. When it's night and the street is still busy it's relatively safe. But when it turn into midnight and the street is quiet be careful! I wouldn't recommend walking alone in this situation.

avoid quiet streets or men gathered together with some noisy motorcycle (they're not dangerous but just in case). be careful in terminals and stations especially in terminals prone to pickpocketing. be safe guys

Indonesian girl who’s obsessed with traveling but secretly panics at the idea of solo trips😭 I overthink everything but still end up booking the flight anyway. Soft-hearted, a little anxious, but always chasing new places and new stories.
