Is Seoul safe for solo female travelers?

Family travel

I felt safe in Seoul, food was delicious and getting around the city with metro was really easy. Prices were moderate. It was a great experience, we did basic sightseeing with palaces and popular areas like Gangnam.

Solo travel

I felt save traveling alone. Love market in Mangwon district - amazing food, good prices. Had accommodation also here - perfect place for calm stay! Recommend wowpass as debit card, t-money and esim. Also used climate card for unlimited transport in Seoul - best choice.

Solo travel

Loved 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!

Solo travel

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.

Solo travel

Seoul 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.

Seoul is super safe and easy to explore solo! The city’s clean, and people are gernerally nice to foreigners. And public transport’s great too. But just stay aware in nightlife spots or late at night like anywhere else.

Overall its a very safe place and country. I would avoid certain areas and drunk men. Never ever take drinks in the club from strangers. In general just avoid clubbing here all together. Its not worth it. Many girls were drugged even when they came as a group. But walking on the streets in skirt of a size of a belt is chill and cool. Even at night you can walk the streets peacefully.

Cameras and people are everywhere 24h/24h I traveled there alone for 10 days, and except for some old people disliking foreigners, nothing happened to me ! I felt safe walking around alone and taking public transport !

I'd say it's fairly safe during the day. And you will be ok if you have common sense, even at night. I mostly feel safe on public transportation, too. But some report sexual harassment on the subway, so it doesn't hurt to be careful.

It’s pretty safe! BUT! From my experience it’s better to be careful with harassment! They will not kill, or kidnap, or rob! But they can use hidden cameras (especially in toilets), or try to put cameras under girls skirts. So please wear shorts under dresses or skirts! Also some old guy can touch you and pretend it was by accident… But you can leave your stuff at public places and people will not touch it.
