nijmegen is one of the safest places i've ever lived or traveled: in 3 years i have been everywhere at all times of day and maybe only felt weirded out by a stranger just once, and still they left me alone. everyone here is very friendly and peaceful, never have i felt like an area was truly shady. i've cycled home in the middle of the night and felt completely safe every time.
Posted: August 19, 2025I come from Finland which is a very safe country. I consider Nijmegen and Netherlands very safe for women also in the night. I have walked & biked in dark nights and have not felt scared or threated in anyway here.
Posted: February 7, 2025Nijmegen is safe to walk around at night when exercising common sense, walking with purpose in well lit areas, not loitering and being aware of your surroundings. It is safe to go out at night alone as a women in popular areas or in safe neighborhoods.
Posted: January 19, 2025Nijmegen is nice student city with a lot of nice things going on. Like every city going home alone at night feels sometimes uncomfortable. However, have been living here for over 8 years and nothing happened happened apart from name calling.
Posted: January 19, 2025Nijmegen feels quite safe for me, I've biked home late at night quite some times and also in the part known to be least safe as I live there and I still feel safe there. The city is always vibrant and there are enough people around for me to feel safe most of the time.

Hello :) I’m a collection of paradoxes. I love dancing at festivals as much as talking about how to dismantle capitalism. I do a lot of crafts and DIY’s but I also love to go crazy at parties and be among people. I read a lot but can be very silly and comic at the same time. You can’t guess my character just by looking at something that I did! But what matters the most to me, is to be a good human. And that I strive to be at all times.

Hi! I am visiting the west side of North America from June till August, and I am looking for places to stay along the coast! I am starting my trip around Vancouver, Canada and I also want to end my trip somewhere around there. I like doing sports, languages, talking and hiking!
