Paraskevi
Greece
The city isn't very big and although it doesn't have a lot of things to do, it is very safe. I went put multiple times during the night but not even once felt danger. The locals are also very friendly and more than willing to help.

Jalasjarvi is a quite small town. The people are very friendly. I was a voluneter for Aukusti festival that took place there. We stayed at the community center. A store was in 100 m from our place. A very strange habit that people have there- after the festival was over, teenagers brought beer and a speaker and just stayed in front of random houses and had like an afterparty there. Everybody knows everybody so even tho they have some strange habits they are still very friendly and safe to be around. nearby there was a big zoo with animals all over the world, lakes and a religious summer camp, sports field, a cinema. compared to other countries it wasn t that expensive, you can recycle cans and get some money back from it. For a restaurant you have to leave the town cause i don t remeber them having one.

100% a safe place to travel to as a solo traveler, never felt threatened or intimidated. There is plenty of things to do from dog and reindeer sledding through snowy forests to snowmobiling searching for the northern lights. This was an expensive trip but well worth it for the experiences. You have my heart Lapland/Finland ❤️
Posted: June 6, 2024I felt extremely safe during my trip. The city and public transportation are well organized. I really enjoyed mu time there. However, the city was quite pricey comparing to other european cities. I stayed at a hostel for like 8 days and it was comfortable as well but if you have the budget I would recommend staying at a hotel or an airbnb.
Posted: May 22, 2024Helsinki and Finland in general is a totally safe place to visit alone as a woman. I had no problems at all and it is one of the safest places I have ever been to. It is a very expensive city and Finland in general as well. The cheapest cup of coffee can cost you around 5/6 euros and an average meal can go around 25/30 euros per dish. I recommend you to visit helsinki's public library which is very very interesting to discover and it also has an affordable cafe and buffet (13 euros)
Posted: April 7, 2024Experienced: March, 2024The city and activities was great I jjust would alert other girls that are traveling alone about a dangerous guy! I met him in Christmas house safari and in the beginning he was very polite however after that I lived in a nightmare. I also met other 2 girls that had the same issue. His name is Fabio! Just take care because he seems very lovely guy but at the end you will be grateful that you dont have serious issue if you are lucky

I had a great time, it was my first solo trip and I really enjoyed it. I felt safe all the time. Finnish people are so welcoming and kind. The food was good, transportation is cheap (in general Helsinki isn’t that expensive).
Posted: February 26, 2024Experienced: April, 2023A very beautiful, interesting and safe city. The people are quite reserved but very respectful and speak English very very well. This is a lot to do and see (like museums, sightseeing, concerts and parties).

Turku is a safe city compared to many cities outside of finland, but as a finn, turku is quite unsafe compared to other finnish cities. You should never leave your belongins behind or get too drunk. Also, city centre is not very safe at nights and id recommend to explore the city during the day and spend nights indoors.
Posted: December 19, 2024Helsinki is pretty safe sometimes there can happen something bad like in everywhere can but you can walk alone without being scared even at night and if you need help people will help you with anything
