Is Groningen Safe for Women?

Very safe, most people are easy going. Only Paddepoel, Vinkhuizen, Selwerd, and Oosterpoortwijk are a bit less preferable. Also at night it is best to keep business to yourself at the big stations. But overall a great city to be in.

Depends on where you are. But its a student city so the streets are mostly crowded and there are lots of cafés to go to. In some party of the city it is less crowded so keep an eye out for bad neigbourhoods!

Groningen is overall a safe and also beautiful city. The only downside (from what i've heard, thankfully not experienced) is the night life. It's said to be pretty unsafe for women to go clubbing and walking alone around the city at night. I haven't had any problems clubbing and walking around myself though.

Lived there for a year. Very safe city. The biggest nuisance is bike theft and drunk students yelling on on the streets while cycling home. But I have wandered around the city centre pretty much every time of day and never have I felt unsafe.

Really safe city, live here for my whole life and never ever feeld not-safe. Its a very busy student city, so you are basically never alone on the streets. The night life is very nice! You have good places vor every kind of person!

Solo travel

I love visiting Groningen - I absolutely recommend renting a bike to get the actual local authentic experience. The city museum is just fantastic, food options are diverse and exciting, lots of nice bars and cofee places, especially in the city centre and close to Rijksuniversity. The park is also a must see, and coffeeshops are safe also for a solo travellers that wants to try!
