How safe is Jena?

It's quite a safe city. There's lots of students living there so you'll never be truly alone when it's dark, especially when you're downtown. If you're a bit further away from the city centre you're more likely to be by yourself after dark which can be a bit frightening, especially when you're by yourself.

Jena is a city full of young students. The majority are students, that’s why city is quite safe. You can walk around the city at anytime, and alone. There’s only one place someone should be a bit more careful walking in the evening & night: it’s called “Lobeda”.

Jena is about as safe as any standard place in Germany. You should always be aware of your surroundings, but in over 5 years living there I never had any real safety issues. Some areas like Winzerla and Lobeda are a bit more dangerous, but overall it‘s safe.

Jena is pretty safe. I don't worry about anything really. Of course taking a walk in the dark is always not the nicest thing to do but that's a feeling i have everywhere i go. Apart from that there is not much to worry about.

Jena is a sweet little city in Thuringia. Besides some conservative and patriotic regions in Thuringia, Jena is more modern and open. There are a lot of students and young people in Jena. Jena is surrounded by little hills where you can go for a walk. Because of its little size, everything is reachable within a few minutes.

In my opinion: pretty safe, cause it's a small city. There is definetly catcalling and stuff but I'm never afraid of being robbed, etc. I'm always a little bit scared going home alone at night, but there aren't a lot of people on the Street and I think its pretty safe
