The overall safety score is determined using five subcategories,,,Day, Night, Theft-Free, Drug-Free, and Violence-Free,,,derived from the Numbeo Crime Index, which evaluates general safety conditions and risks such as scams and petty theft.
WTI’s rankings are further strengthened by an AI-assisted analysis of over 50 million travel websites, forums, and user reports from platforms like Reddit and Quora, ensuring comprehensive and updated insights for travelers planning their trips.
With its cool climate, vibrant local culture, and now reaffirmed reputation for safety, Baguio City remains a top choice for local and international tourists seeking a secure and enjoyable getaway.
