Crime against foreigners is generally low. Incidents of rape have increased in popular nightlife districts in Seoul.
Exercise caution, remain aware of your surroundings, and avoid walking alone after dark.
The use of public transport after dark may be safer than using taxis when travelling alone. However,
when subway and bus services end for the night, use officially marked taxis only and, if possible, do not travel alone.
Otherwise, exercise normal safety precautions and ensure personal belongings and passports are secure.
