Singapore, Group travel

When I went to Singapore, I felt very safe, very excited, and also very impressed. Singapore is a very clean city and everyone looks busy. When I was there for few days, the weather was very hot. It was a great few days, but due to time constraints, I didn't get to explore all the sights or other areas of Singapore. I plan to return there in the future😊

Singapore was the most safest country I’ve ever been. It was very beautiful very well designed. If you eat in food centers, the food is very affordable much cheaper than Europe . Of course there are luxurious restaurants to.

Singapore is very safe and very clean aswell, quite expensive for hotels but they also have affordable hostels you just have to check the ones with closed up doms for a bit of privacy. But most of them are in the central so it's easy to walk around and explore

Woodlands, Group travel

Good public transport. Food is also good. Everything is fast paced. The people are not very friendly though. Not much to do in Woodlands, but every other city can be reached via MRT, and the MRT ride is cheap.

Singapore

Singapore's Government has many laws, made such that it is considered very safe if compared to America. As we do have gun laws, and one needs a license in order to obtain a gun. But as they advocated, ' Low Crime does not mean No Crime' If you leave your bag, maybe at a eatery to 'book a seat', it may not be taken as you would be back shortly with your food. ( As in a place packed with people) In general most do not steal. But it is still advisable to keep your valuables with you . I'm pretty sure one cannot carry pepper sprays or tasers though, locals definitely don't have access to that here. Or at least within my knowledge In general men do not openly catcall women in public , though I'm sure some do strike conversations. There are stalkers though, I've known people and myself to have experienced stalkers. Molestation is not allowed, and should be reported to the police if it happens. In Singapore, as an Asian country, PDA is not usually seen in public, though some young couples could be seen being touchy- feely with one another But you do not see them openly french kissing in public 🤣 Women are able to walk safely in the streets at night, though if you are in areas like pubs, bars and clubs, it is advisable to have girlfriends with you, but if you're alone and approachable men may approach you So yeah . Hope this helps!

Safest place in the world. Have never felt uncomfortable, have left my phone sitting on tables, left and come back and it's still there. Never any problem with creepy men or anything. I walk alone at night all the time too.

Singapore

as a local resident, there's definitely barely any crime (to the extent whereby we have an ongoing campaign called low crime doesn't mean no crime). it's genuinely pretty safe for women, even solo travellers. i can walk around at night by myself, with airpods in on noise cancelling mode. just take note of some laws like no littering, no vaping, no drugs, etc.

Safest city on earth. People won't judge you for dressing. I usually go gym in the middle of night. One of the safest countries for women. You don't need to fear about mugging or any sort of violenceen here.

Very safe place with no worries travelling out at night by yourself. Public transport here is efficient and safe, and there is low risk of crimes. People here are friendly and helpful, and will provide assistance whenever needed
