Is Uppsala safe for women?

Since it's a big student city it's usually lots of people outside during the night. So in a way that feels safe since lots of people are outside as well if you go home when it's dark. I wouldn't needlessly worry but please if you go out there at night don't be alone

Small university town, very quiet. I have never felt unsafe walking to catch a late night or very early morning train. The city is easy to navigate and is well lit with street lamps. It never gets too busy

Mostly safe during daytime and in crowded places. But be careful during nighttime and in places like Gottsunda and Stenhagen. However, public transport is safe and people are helpful if you ever need to stop strangers for advice or help
