日本腦炎疫苗

Whether or not a traveller in this country should receive this vaccine depends considerably on the itinerary of the traveller. This disease does not usually occur in urban areas or large cities and thus vaccination may not be required for travellers. Vaccination is recommended for travellers with itineraries include visits to rural areas with extended outdoor activities.

傷寒疫苗

Since exposure to unsafe sources is variable within this country, the vaccination against typhoid fever is generally recommended, especially when visiting smaller cities or rural areas, where food and water sources may be contaminated.

South Korea中的安全性

人身安全

與大多數已開發國家相比，韓國的犯罪率較低。針對外國人的暴力犯罪很少。你遇到的最常見問題是機會主義的輕微犯罪，例如在擁擠地區和旅遊熱點地區的扒手。首爾和其他主要城市都有廣泛的閉路電視覆蓋和強大的警察力量。犯罪率保持穩定，儘管人們擔心公共場所隨機發生的陌生人攻擊事件。 2023 年，當局僅在上半年就報告了 925 起此類事件，大多數是襲擊而不是更嚴重的犯罪。為此，警方增加了安全巡邏。性騷擾仍然是一個長期存在的問題，尤其影響女性。地方當局指出，這些隨機行為通常發生在商場和火車站等公共場所，但大多數居民的日常生活都不會發生意外。

極端暴力

韓國的暴力犯罪率非常低。暴力犯罪發生率維持在每十萬人0.60起左右，遠低於全球平均。對遊客來說，恐怖主義威脅極小。主要的安全隱患來自朝鮮，北韓經常發動網路攻擊、發射飛彈，並偶爾進行挑釁。 2023年，北韓每天對公共機構發動約130萬次網路攻擊。然而，這些地緣政治緊張局勢很少影響日常生活，也不會對遊客造成直接威脅。儘管朝鮮戰爭理論上仍在繼續，但局勢仍保持穩定。衝突影響遊客的可能性幾乎是零。大規模傷亡事件極為罕見。 2023年，首爾因暴力事件被捕的人數約為3.75萬人，較前幾年下降。

政治動盪

2024年12月，韓國經歷了嚴重的政治動盪。當時，總統尹錫烈於12月3日短暫宣布戒嚴，但國會在幾個小時內就推翻了這個決定。這引發了大規模抗議，並導致尹錫烈被彈劾。此後，大規模示威活動頻繁發生，反對尹錫烈和支持尹錫烈的團體都參與其中。反對尹錫烈的示威活動涉及1500多個公民和勞工組織，共110多起抗議活動。支持尹錫烈的人士也舉行了反示威活動。 2025年1月19日，支持尹錫烈的抗議者衝擊了首爾西區地方法院，引發了暴力事件。抗議活動很常見，尤其是在政治緊張時期，但大多數情況下仍保持和平且治安良好。法律禁止外國人參與政治活動。隨著韓國總統大選臨近，示威活動仍在持續。您應該關注媒體對計劃示威活動的報道，並避免參加大型集會。

應避免的區域

主要需要避開的區域是南北韓邊境的非軍事區 (DMZ)。這個長達 250 公里、軍事高度戒備的緩衝區嚴格來說仍然是一個活躍的戰區，不過，只要遵循官方程序，就可以安全地參觀韓國一側的某些 DMZ 區域。自 2023 年 7 月一名美國士兵越境進入北韓以來，共同警備區 (JSA) 一直對遊客關閉。只有有執照導遊的官方旅遊團才允許進入 DMZ 區域。平民控制區延伸至 DMZ 以南 5 至 20 公里，有進入限制。您必須在 DMZ 附近保持警惕，並遵循當地政府的指導。在大城市，夜間應避免走光線昏暗的小巷和小街。釜山中區的犯罪率是全國最高的。首爾站和地鐵站周圍的夜生活區在天黑後會變得喧鬧，但大多數人出行都是安全的。梨泰院和弘大等派對區的犯罪率較高，尤其是在深夜。
