Joensuu is a safe town in North Karelia. Use your common sense as always, but you will be alright. City centre and train/bus station are safe. I've spotted a bike or two with missing wheels but that's it.

Me and my girlfriends feel safe to walk alone and sometimes drunk during the night too. Follow regular caution, but its overall very safe place.

Best way to explain is to say that i don't feel scared to walk alone outside when coming from work around 1am, so i'd say its pretty safe! I live in quiet neighborhood, there's mostly old people and families with small Children (There's two kindergandens within 200m from my house).
