Is Turku Safe for Women?

I’ve lived here my whole life. Definitely a lot safer than most cities worldwide. People let you mind your own business. There is little crime and only thing I would avoid is being alone in the city centre in the middle of the night, because sometimes drunk men can be really annoying or pushy. If you see a police in these type of situations don’t hesitate to let them know.

I have never had someone harrass me in Turku and feel very safe walking alone after dark in the nights. People here dont really talk to strangers and like to keep to themselves so it is easy to be as you want.

Turku is a very safe place, in 3 years that I had been here I had never experienced sexual harassment, or any kind of violence. I can walk at night without any worries, or take a taxi and I feel safe all the time.

As a university city Turku is filled with young people who take women's safety seriously. If you are ever worried about your safety, seek out a young adult and they are sure to help you! If you see people in colorful overall full of patches, they are uni students on their night out and the safest crowd. :)

Turku is overall a pretty safe town in Finland. You can walk alone during the dark hours and night without having to be afraid of someone doing something bad for you. You don't have to be afraid about getting kidnapped or anything else like that.
