Group travel

Seoul was amazing! People were really nice and helpful. I stayed there as an exchange student and that is still one of my favorite experience in my life and so despite COVID. I felt safe the whole time, and public transports were really easy to use

Solo travel

I had a weekend trip to Seoul, it's great in general. Download KakaoMap, it's amazing for navigating. Buy T-Money Card, it can also be found at the airport, for the public transport. You can prepare a little bit of cash, but many places I visited only accept cards so I think too much cash are not needed.

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.

It's very safe that you can leave your phone and bags and come back again and everything will be in its place. No one steals and I think this is a very big advantage Not only seoul but all south korea is same I've lived in 3 different cities and have friends who live in other cities and it's all the same. It's a very safe and beautiful country and I highly recommend people to visit it

Very safe if you don’t get drunk in weird places. Especially for girls. There are emergency bells everywhere including toilets. A lot of bus stops are similar to shelters if you push the button. CCTV is everywhere. You can leave your phone and nobody will touch it. But people can steal your umbrella haha

fairly safe! just keep in mind basic safety, not following random men into secluded areas, keeping your phone on you in case of emergencies, and you'll be alright! some areas filled with motels & clubs may be a bit sketchy but generally you'll be safer than in other countries!

You can leave your things at any public area and no one will take it. There is CCTV everywhere, so it is very easy to catch anyone doing anything suspicious. People mind their own business and are willing to help as long as you ask for it.
