Is Nijmegen Safe for Women? Crime Rate in Nijmegen

I come from Finland which is a very safe country. I consider Nijmegen and Netherlands very safe for women also in the night. I have walked & biked in dark nights and have not felt scared or threated in anyway here.

Nijmegen is safe to walk around at night when exercising common sense, walking with purpose in well lit areas, not loitering and being aware of your surroundings. It is safe to go out at night alone as a women in popular areas or in safe neighborhoods.

Nijmegen is nice student city with a lot of nice things going on. Like every city going home alone at night feels sometimes uncomfortable. However, have been living here for over 8 years and nothing happened happened apart from name calling.

Nijmegen feels quite safe for me, I've biked home late at night quite some times and also in the part known to be least safe as I live there and I still feel safe there. The city is always vibrant and there are enough people around for me to feel safe most of the time.

I never had a bad experience in Nijmegen. I always feel safe in this city. When walking home in the dark you may see homeless people but they never harassed me. Most of the time they are kind people as well.

It’s a Dutch student city. People are very progressive (even for the Netherlands) and you can easily go out by yourself at night. There are some streets with homeless people that I personally don’t like much, but that’s mostly around the homeless shelter. There is lots of police around there (they keep you safe in The Netherlands). People are friendly. Lots of nightlife, activities, and nature. The little bit of worry is cause there are crazy people everywhere. But overall, it’s very safe.
