Is Groningen safe for women?

Personally I've never had an unsafe situation in groningen. But on Thursday to Saturday nights there's alot of parties, and dutch people aren't afraid to approach. Id recommend not persee going out very late at night. Groningen city is relatively crowded so theres always people around and near. If you go the the country side there's alot less people, I live in the country side, Personally ive never had issues walking alone late at night, in the dark. (I do recommend not walking alone persee, but it's possible)

Very much safe you can walk around freely many young people are here as it is a student city. For females and especially solo travellers it is a good place a small city but pretty and safe. I have never experienced anything bad here and neither my friends did.

Groningen is a very safe city! I always walk alone anytime of the day, I had some rare occasions where I was disturbed by a stranger but that almost never happens. But as anywhere in the world pay attention to your surroundings and don’t walk alone after dark in deserted places.

Very safe, most people are easy going. Only Paddepoel, Vinkhuizen, Selwerd, and Oosterpoortwijk are a bit less preferable. Also at night it is best to keep business to yourself at the big stations. But overall a great city to be in.
