Is Helsinki safe for solo female travelers?

Solo travel

100% safe. people get drunk at the evening but they aren't dangerous. they only stinks. super cold in winter. weather nice on summer, you can easily have a swim. food is expensive but affordable, have fun

Solo travel

I tend to visit late as I live in the nearby city and the nightlife is better, and I generally feel safe and aren't concerned about being by myself even if it's in the middle of the night and it's less crowded.

Group travel

we went to helsinki with my friends on a ferry for one day. that was actually really fun! we went to see some free museums, national library, walked in city centre, went on small shopping in “normal” and “stockmann” and had dinner. we felt really safe there, walking alone with girls only. i really want to recommend y’all Leaf buffet. it is located in forum mall on 0 floor. so u basically pay 14€ per one person and u can have any amount of food u want. there was like 20 types of sushi, soup, some meat, drinks, salads, fruits and cake. recommend visiting helsinki!

Helsinki is totaly safe and easy to connect. Also the public transportation is connecting, bus, metro, train. I had a lovely experience visit museum, market and sauna. Sauna one of the local things do almost every day

When I arrived Helsinki this time it’s so cold but all of people has good energy, beautiful smile. I love it Helsinki. I felt I’m in my hometown. Everything was perfect. (Food, people, hostel..) different atmosphere.

Super safe. Use a bike light and helmet. I have heard so so few stories of anything bad happening. There are some strange people on the street that make me feel uncomfortable, but they keep to themselves.

Helsinki is very safe place to visit and I speak from first-hand experience. The public transportation in Helsinki is very good and uskalla on time. Overall the crime rates are low. As a woman I feel safe generally in Finland.

Helsinki is in general quite safe, I feel comfortable walking home alone at night. The streets are well-lit in the evening so it's not an issue. Being on public transport is also safe. People are polite and respect personal distance.

I would say my home town Helsinki is very safe. The only situations I am worried is paasing by the train stations very late at night time. There is very little pickpocketing or scams in the streets. Of course I recommend to take good care of your stuff at restaurants and public transportation.

In general Helsinki is super safe! But as always, you should be wary of your surroundings :-) Walking alone in the night time is usually very safe. But as a female unfortunately you always have to pay extra attencion.
