we did a tour of Seoul, Busan, Jeju, Gyeongju, Sokcho in 5/6 people. First of all, the communication of the place is great, you can easily get everywhere, the signs are legible and it is difficult to get lost. the food is delicious and huge portions for a low price. a lot of nature and beautiful views. we felt safe and confident on the streets, people are nice and helpful
Posted: June 4, 2025Loved the trip honestly. I'm planning on shifting to Seoul soon and planned this trip to get familiar with the place before shifting there. Had a great experience people were nice. Everything was good overall tbh!
Posted: May 27, 2025We felt very safe in Korea. And We could go out whenever we wanted. We stayed in Seoul. It is a city that is lively 24 hours a day and you can find everything you want.

The entire time I was in Seoul I never felt unsafe. Everyone was kind and helpful. Korean food is amazing! I say get out of your comfort zone and try something different, you won’t regret it. The bus and metro system are fairly easy to use and understand. Just make sure to get a t-money card, buy one at any convenience store and load it up at the machines in the stations.
Posted: May 13, 2025Seoul is beautiful and breathtakingly impressive. I felt very safe being alone and didn’t have any weird situations whatsoever. Also, it’s quite cheap for a capital! Definitely recommend for people who are new to traveling and.
Posted: May 12, 2025As a foreigner I felt safe walking around, even at night. I was there for around 8 weeks and never witnessed any antisocial behaviour. The worst thing was some of the public toilets were quite poorly maintained. Bring your own toilet paper! In fact, I was warned about racism (especially from older people) yet the older people I came across were lovely, even at one time offering their seat to me on public transport when I had many shopping bags. I was mostly worried about rabies, as there were many stray cats I liked to feed around my hotel. Unfortunately I did see a rabid cat :(

Changwon feels like a pretty safe city overall. Public areas are well-lit, and I haven’t personally felt unsafe, even at night. Still, like anywhere, it’s best to stay alert in quiet or unfamiliar places.
Posted: June 6, 2025Seoul is one of the safest city. I had few foreign friends in Korea and they all told me they feel safe in Seoul! Nobody is going to harass you even if you are a girl walking alone at night. But be a little cautious when clubbing.
