Is Kouvola safe for solo female travelers?

Very safe place to walk all by yourself, even at nighttimes. Its quite quiet and not very crowded, not very much people around. Ofcourse you have to always keep an eye on your stuff and belognins but i have never encountered picpockets

Unfortunately we’ve got a huge problem with drugs in Finland, very young folks end up overdosing. This doesn’t show on the streets though. It’s very calm and quiet out here, luckily in this sense. Any disturbance is normally drunk people heading home from the bars.

Kouvola is a small town in South-East Finland and I have been living there for one year. In general the streets are quite empty because the city doesn't have that much of a night life sadly. But even on empty streets at night, I never ever felt unsafe. Finns are very polite and open to help if you need it. The only place I would be a bit more carefully at night as a women would be the train station, but besides that, it's a very safe city.

Finland overall is very safe, people tend to keep a safe distance and you most likely don’t even see many people walking outside after dark (maybe on the weekends coming from a bar) but really, nothing’s ever happened to me or anyone I know.
