How safe is Lund?

Lund is a very small city that is mostly students and not known to be very dangerous at all. It seems the most often crime is your bike being stolen, which is quite annoying. I am a woman and often walk home alone at night, even through the parks, and nothing suspicious has ever occurred. I’m not originally from here, so I wasn’t used to this level of safety. But this has been my experience.

Lund is very calm and safe. Student and older citizens are making the main population of Lund. Streets are well lit public transportation is very safe and frequently going most of people are home and not so much people on the street but I have never felt more safer than in Lund

Coming from Gothenburg, I find Lund to be exceptionally safe. It being a student city makes people being out and about pretty normal, and most people living here that aren’t students are families with children, so it feels very safe.

It's generally a safe place because it's a university town. I never felt unsafe in the bus or train but when I bike after dark I am careful anyways because of just general anxiety. But during daylight I would go to even the most remote place alone without hesitation.

Lund is a small city and quite chill, but it is close to Malmö which has a bit of criminality. That's why there can be some things that happen but overall Lund is super safe! I always feel safe walking by myself, even after dark.

i think it's very safe, i walk a lot in dark places at night and have never once been scared. the bad part is that i've heard stories of women getting sexually harassed at the clubs:( so be extra carful there.
