I feel safe here. Finns tend to leave you alone and respect your privacy and space. If you need help in Finland, it's best to ask for it, because here personal space is honoured and it's considered rude to approach you directly. Don't take this aloofness as Finns being rude :) here even celebrities can walk the street undisturbed. People will gladly help if you ask. Be warned though: usually shy Finnish men can become very "friendly" and curious when drunk. They are mostly harmless and don't usually touch you.

Tampere is very safe and calm city. There may be some sexually harassing comments especially in the nightlife. The city centre may be a bit uneasy at weekend nights when there is drunken people around. Other than that, super safe. There is no need to worry about getting robbed or attacked.
Posted: August 10, 2025It is very safe. Crimes are rare and as a woman i feel completely safe in Tampere. Even at night i dont have to be scared. Obviously still i wouldn't go to some dark places at night alone, but as long as you use common sense, you will be fine
Posted: July 7, 2025I have lived in Tampere for a few years and have not experienced harassment or become a victim of crime. It is safe to walk on the streets in the evenings and at night. There are occasional crimes in Tampere, but the risk is low.
Posted: May 22, 2025Mostly safe, just a lot of drunk people in weekends. But if u dont interact , they wont do anything. Mostly feel safe walking alone as a local and no one has ever touched me. I've been catcalled only on evenings in Tampere. On daytime its very safe!
