Women Special

10 Tips For Women Travelling To Seoul, South Korea
1. Prioritise personal safety
Korea is a relatively safe country for women travellers, and Koreans are generally friendly and helpful to visitors. Local attitude towards women is respectful so you will not be bothered in general. Since Korea is a relatively conservative society, men will not try to get close to you unless if they are drunk (drinking is huge in South Korea). The city is covered by a good network of CCTVs and the police are ready to assist if you find yourself in a tight spot.

That said, it always pays to be cautious and alert. If you plan on staying out late at night, try doing so in a group and keep your hotel information handy. Just as in any other city, avoid narrow alleys and entering areas you don’t feel good about. If you find yourself in an uncomfortable situation, be polite but firm and ask them to walk away. You might get a “You are beautiful. I want to talk to you” but things are not likely to proceed beyond that point.
