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

We 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.

Honestly I love this country as a tourist. If you are well prepared you won’t experience so many culture shocks - just spend some time doing a good research. The architecture (old and new) is amazing, food is great and overall I felt very safe there!

A very safe country for women! A lot of young girls wonder drunk around hongdae or iteawon at night and on the streets ur safe. However it is always important to be careful! Personally I’ve been grabbed and pulled into places, they hope that you’re too drunk to notice or do anything so be a bit sober when alone other than that it’s very very comfortable as a woman. Ofcourse there are dark alleys, aggressive people all around the world remember! Be ware of men trying to date foreigners only to sleep with them they do that a lot. Check for cameras, be prepared and have fun!!!
