nijmegen is one of the safest places i've ever lived or traveled: in 3 years i have been everywhere at all times of day and maybe only felt weirded out by a stranger just once, and still they left me alone. everyone here is very friendly and peaceful, never have i felt like an area was truly shady. i've cycled home in the middle of the night and felt completely safe every time.
Posted: August 19, 2025I 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.
Posted: February 7, 2025Nijmegen 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.
Posted: January 19, 2025Nijmegen 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.
Posted: January 19, 2025Nijmegen 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.

About me
Hi butterflies, I myself like to fly away to other places to meet other butterflies and beautiful people and their colors of traditions and cultures. But I also can really enjoy to stay in my cocoon and would love to welcome other butterflies and people, having a great time with them in my wonderful, social and green hometown. Even though I am born with a muscular disease and I am using a power wheelchair to move around, it absolutely doesn’t make me to stay in my cocoon all the time. On the contrary! I’m looking for the possibilities, and not the impossibilities. That’s my life motto! And independency with a physical disability is also a high priority in my undertaking life. :) Every year I’m making a trip to have a water sports holiday on a great lake (sailing, canoeing, rowing and even water skiing). When I’m in my hometown I love to be with my fellow butterfly friends to have a good fresh (vegetarian) meal and to enjoy their company. I can also really enjoy of the serenity of nature or writing my thoughts and feelings down on paper as poetry.

About me
Hello :) I’m a collection of paradoxes. I love dancing at festivals as much as talking about how to dismantle capitalism. I do a lot of crafts and DIY’s but I also love to go crazy at parties and be among people. I read a lot but can be very silly and comic at the same time. You can’t guess my character just by looking at something that I did! But what matters the most to me, is to be a good human. And that I strive to be at all times.
