Is Enschede safe for solo female travelers?

It's pretty safe in the city center of Enschede during the day. When it's night I wouldn't be walking around alone. I usually bike when it's late out and that's fine. Some outskirts of Enschede can be a bit more sketchy though, so be aware. I wouldn't say that I am constantly worried being here, but I have heard a lot of stories from people I know that have been hurt before, so I would definitely be careful.

Very safe. I have never experienced much trouble. As a woman I feel most free in my own hometown. Walking alone at night, I would not do in most places at all. Equality is still to be sought everywhere, but less in Netherlands

Enschede is a small town in the Netherlands. The University of Twente is located here. So there are a lot of students in town. In the area you can visit small villages and go for a hike. In the centrum enschede it's very "gezellig" (fun/cozy) with lots of bars and restaurants.
