All areas are safe and the streets are safe, I’ve never felt threatened in 10 years. Just be mindful with your drink in nightclubs and bars. Walking alone at night feels safe. Lots of police on weekends.
Posted: January 2, 2026Oulu is a safe city with secured environment. Night time is no different than the day time when it comes to safety. Everyone minds their own business and it is very unlikely to experience something opposite regarding on my experience

It’s a safe city, allthough right in the city centre there are some drug addicts and alcoholics hanging out, but so far I haven’t had any kind of contact from them. Also some bars have a reputation about drink spiking so definitely should look out for that.
