How safe is Taiwan?

There are many Surveillance cameras in Taiwan. So people know if they do something bad, they will be found and arrested right away🤣. People are enthusiastic about helping people especially foreigners, so there’s no fear of asking help 😇

Overall it is very safe for female, but avoid dark and narrow streets at late night, especially in the countryside. Be aware of people around you when you are walking alone at night, better to have an accompany with you.

Is Taiwan safe to travel?

4.8 /5

Based on 13 experiences

Solo travel experience

Taipei was incredibly safe, the people are very friendly and willing to help! There were a variety of activities, including hiking, local street markets and specialty coffee places. It was relatively affordable (especially the food) and I recommend staying at a hostel called Star Hostel Taipei East, which was clean and comfortable.

Family travel experience

Spend 8 days in Taiwan with family. We enjoyed it overall. Took a road-trip to Taroko and Sun Moon Lake and there are lots more to see. Taipei is vibrant with lots of sights and things to do too as a family with elderlies and small kids.
