Turku is a very safe city overall. During weekend nights there might be some drunk people in the city centre. Still, it’s very safe to go around the city even in the night. One of me and my friends favourite things to do is go on night walks! I would still advice to be cautious in the busiest areas.

Severe violence against tourists or strangers is extremely uncommon. The majority of reported public order offenses happen in nightlife hubs and usually involve alcohol.Opportunistic theft (pickpocketing in crowded areas or bicycle theft) is the primary concern. Standard urban awareness is sufficient.Turku is exceptionally safe by global standards.

Overall a safe city to live and visit, also for solo female travellers - like everywhere in Finland. Obviously, you might not want to walk alone at weekend 4am totally drunk at certain areas, this goes for all around the world. But most likely even in those circumstances nothing would happen.

Spent a weekend here and felt very safe both at light and after dark. It was pretty calm and chill everywhere I went (also very clean). The public transport felt also very safe - I would really recommend it for solo trip
