How safe is Ostersund for women?

Östersund is a nice little town with lots of outdoor activities and amazing food. It is very safe - I once lost my wallet and a nice lady returned it to my home with all items still inside. You will be perfectly safe walking home alone at night or staying out for longer.

It’s generally a safe town that I as a solo traveler would be comfortable with going to. The town is rich with bars and restaurants, the night life is alright, but not a lot of places to go. At night around the bus station, I would not stay alone.

About me

Hi! Im Heidi, a 22 year old, from Sweden! I have always wanted to travel, see the world and meet new people but it's kind of scary to solo travel as a female, this app seems amazing since you get the opportunity to meet other women and also stay in a safe place while traveling❤️ I currently don't have set home address in Sweden since I'm studying and traveling but when I settle down I will welcome guests into my home as well!
