Is Olten safe for women?
I life in olten or nead olten my whole life. To myself, nothing ever happened. Sure thing, that there isnt no crime at all, but i feel like its a pretty safe city. Although you could get confronted with druggies, if youre at the trainstation after like 10pm or something. But there are usually security around to keep you safe.
Posted: December 13, 2024Very safe city, there is almost no rubbery, you can walk alone during day or night, the public transport is very safe and on time, you can go out easily alone, i never had any bad experiences here
Posted: August 6, 2024Olten is a pretty safe place. There are a few dodgy places and i wouldn't linger around the trainstation at night alone for an extended amount of time, if you can avoid it. But I've been living here for 3 years now, and never had any bad experiences. I am very aware of my surroundings though if I'm walking home alone at night, but I do that anywhere ;)
Posted: June 15, 2024Switzerland is a very safe place overall. Specially as a women you don’t need to wory what you wear or if it is safe to travel alone trough the country (by day and night). I was born here and never had (or know) any issues!
