Solo travel

I was in Uppsala for a course trip from my university, i was there two days with the university and expenses mostly paid for and then two days on my own in a hostel. The prices are all very reasonable and just how you would expect them to be in a bigger city. The city has many nice buildings and places to visit and some second hand shops and museums. I personally felt very safe in the city and did not once have to worry about anything. I had a mixed dormitory in the hostel and only was a bit...

I have never personally experienced anything threatening or similar, tho Gottsunda is quite known for being a place you don’t really wanna be in. It also depends on the day. Fridays and Saturdays are the “going out” days wich means that it will be a lot of pople in town. So be aware as you would be in your own country.

uppsala is overall very safe for women! walking alone as a young girl at night is not very pleasent anywhere, but nothing has ever happend to me and i have lived here for my entire life. the streets are very lit and theres usually reliable people around.

It's all about in what areas you are staying. Overall I feel very safe beeing out at night in the city. When you liv in a van, it's good to do a little bit of research before so that you're not staying in an area that has a high level of crimes.
