It is always depending on the city district you are. At day is everything fine. If someone can bring you home, would be always the best especially at night. Walk never alone through parks, when there are no lights.

It's usually safe but in some areas I can't say anything but in the city centre where I live it's pretty safe and I love being here. I have heard some things from my German friends that it's not safe sometimes but I have never experienced it.

It's overall very safe there are some parts where i would be careful after the night falls but still not scared just paying more attention. You do have to be careful wher you leave your bike though because it might get stolen
