Finland was a serene and beautiful nature experience. I was in the northern part. Perhaps a little cold in August, but what else could you expect from one of the most Northern countries on earth? Felt very safe throughout the day and night, camping was good as well.

I felt very safe in Finland. I stayed at an Airbnb in Vaasa. You can visit the Vaasa Museum, it was really great. I used the train. From Helsinki to Vaasa had a sandwich. It was quite expensive for my budget

It is a very nice place and definitely worth traveling to. It is very safe, and the food feels so fresh. I always go home with packets of hot chocolate. I always visit Hesburger for fast food; it is so nice, and the ice cream is the best there too.

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.
Posted: July 26, 2024When I arrived Helsinki this time it’s so cold but all of people has good energy, beautiful smile. I love it Helsinki. I felt I’m in my hometown. Everything was perfect. (Food, people, hostel..) different atmosphere.

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)

Its finland so i would say i have never feared personally. I have been born here and lived all my 21years here and walked in many towns after 12pm at night and actually never been scared.
Posted: February 21, 2025Lahti is actually known as one of the unsafest cities in Finland. But living here for 6 months and i hadn’t got any bad situation on my mind. People here are rather quite and home lovers so there is a really low chance to meet someone in the streets☺️
