How safe is Lund?

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.

Very safe environment with respectful people. No catcalling in the streets or random unwanted male intrusion. Walking around at night feels lonely but safe. It is a student city so you’ll mostly see and interact with other students

Lund is a very calm and safe city. Its safe for both elders and students. Many families live here because its a safe and calm environment to grow up in. It differs very much from Malmö in that way. Come visit!

Lund is a very safe city! I have traveled alone at night while intoxicated without a worry. People are kind and are glad to help you with anything and it’s over all a great city to live and study in. I have never been in a dangerous situation in Lund.
