It is a very calm and quiet city. Besides the sadly normal catcalls nothing ever happened to me and I feel totally safe walking in the city at night,also because the city center is very small and therefore easy to overview
Posted: June 7, 2025It's pretty safe. Most of the crimes happen in the city or between people who know each other. There have recently been a few violent crimes during the night which all happened in the city center. We have lots of stuff on our terrace, which is accessible from the outside and nothings ever been stolen.

Oldenburg is a really cute, safe and lovely student city and the safest place I ever lived at (I’m kinda commute from Bremen to Oldenburg and used to stay longer in multiple states of the US ), very recommended !

I have never experienced a situation, in which I felt uncomfortable. Once this changes, I will give an update. I feel safe walking alone at night and I would not be worried if a friend told me they leave the front door unlocked or even open. However, that is only my personal experience.

It’s a small city with a lot of students living there and a really nice atmosphere. This it is pretty safe for everyone, including women to travel to! Of course I’m always aware of my surroundings, but I walk my dog after dark every day and after partying I ride my bike back home without being worried :)
Posted: December 30, 2024Oldenburg is quite safe! Most of the streets have good lighting and there are also cabs especially for women! The people watch out for each other and a lot of pubs have a special awareness „concept“!
