Is Tartu Safe for Women? Crime Rate in Tartu

Tartu is a small city in Estonia. Here lives mostly students and this city is known as a college city. Everyone is really sweet and friendly. I haven’t heard or seen of bad acts here in Tartu. Nobody should be worrying about safety here! Everything is alright 😇

I have and know a lot of people who have walked home in the dark since they were 6 or 7 y.o. There may be a few areas to avoid during night but generally Tartu is safe and quiet. The city buses have caleras in there and feel very safe to, there is are great bus connection. Police is trustable and there are even some city parts where people don’t mind leaving their front door unlocked at all times

Tartu is safe but maybe i scare sometimes too much. Very many people walking and living in Tartu. You can drive with cars, motorcycles, bikes, taxis and other transportation. I love Tartu but sometimes I can’t walk there alone because I am to scared.

It's a very safe small place, where even small school children walk around or use the public transport alone. The only place that can feel slightly unsafe is the main square at weekends, since there is an alcohol shop. I have been walking alone there since I was 7 years old and never felt unsafe.

All of the foreigners I’ve talked to say that it’s crazy how you can walk around whenever, including the night and nothing will happen and safety overall is one of the things people really appreciate about throughout the whole country. However, it would be safer to not randomly walk around in Annelinn at night.

Tartu is very safe. I am a Muslim and even I never discriminated here. It's the safest city I have ever been. I never heard about robery, attacks, etc. The Police Border Guard Board said that the highest case is about drinking alcohol outside a building, yet I never seen someone drunk in this city.

Estonia is overall a safe place to visit. The locals usually keep to themselves and mind their own business. I have never experienced any harm during day or night. Stealing is very rare. Tartu has a very nice cultural community with lots of events and gatherings.

Very safe little town. Full of university students from end of august until late spring who are enjoying nightlife and beautiful Tartu vibe. Summers are beautiful and it's very nice to relax near the river where bars are open as well. Very calm and beautiful city where you can easily enjoy just being with yourself.

Tartu is a very safe and lovely place. Especially during the winter I felt really safe walking home alone during the night. In the summer it is also very safe and mostly very light during the night. I've never felt worried or afraid.

Tartu is a student city, which makes it very friendly and safe. I would say that Estonia in general, is very safe place to travel and live in. I have never had any bad or unsafe experience in Tartu, during the night all the students are outside and city is very alive, girls have each others back and I've never even heard a story of somebody being raped or in danger.

Solo travel

Very safe and pleasant city, it’s clean and the old part of town is very pretty as well as some neigbourhoods. Loved the national museum and the many cute cafes.
