Overall safe, but still good to be careful. A lot of annoying weird people like everywhere. Try not to walk alone at night and youโ€™re good. Public transport is okay but still stay aware at all times.

It's a really safe and quiet place, and I have walked alone during the night sometimes and I felt pretty safe, but lately the population is growing because of illegal immigrants and they do cause trouble sometimes but same cam be said for local youth aswell
