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”.
Posted: March 29, 2025Jena 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.
Posted: March 24, 2025Jena 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.
Posted: January 26, 2025Jena 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

Hallo, ich bin Antonia. Jena ist wirklich eine tolle Stadt und ich helfe gerne sie kennenzulernen. Ich kenne mich auch allgemein in Thüringen aus und kann bei Fragen über andere Regionen weiter helfen. Ich habe zwar kein Auto bin aber viel mit den Zug unterwegs und unterstütze gerne wenn jemand Hilfe dabei braucht.
