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
Posted: December 25, 2024In general Jena is one of the smaller cities of Germany but full of young people so you feel very safe. Since there is a big university in the city centre you meet people all the night but feel very safe because the majority is very chill and friendly
Posted: December 24, 2024It‘s a small and cozy city. You will meet many students. It‘s super safe for women and all the people are super nice. There don’t exist a crime szene. You will maybe only hear from store robbing. That‘s it.
Posted: December 23, 2024jena is pretty small, but i do feel almost safer than anywhere else. the people are all in all pretty nice and no one tries to talk to you normally. i like it here. if you want to go there, do it!! it’s worth it
Posted: June 19, 2024I’d say Jena is quite safe! They’re some homeless people in the centre that beg for money that can sometimes be a bit irritating when they try to talk to you but they’re harmless overall. But otherwise Jena is mostly quiet at night except there’s like a party going on haha.
