Is Eskisehir safe for solo female travelers?

Eskisehir is generally a friendly city, with welcoming locals. As a university city, it's often bustling and lively, and presents a less conservative atmosphere compared to other parts of the country which can make foreigners, especially female solo travelers, feel more comfortable. General safety precautions such as avoiding deserted areas late at night or not flashing expensive belongings should be followed like any other city worldwide. Public transportation is reliable, but as always, be cautious while using it, especially during the night. The presence of local police is quite visible around the city, providing an additional layer of security.

How safe is Eskisehir for solo female travelers?

Travel safety index

4 /5

based on 4 experiences from female travelers

Solo travel

I actually lived in Eskisehir for two and a half years. I went to university there and it was the perfect place to be a student really. If you stay too much you might run out of activities but the food and the vibes of the city are great. I felt safe even though I was a woman who lived alone. Kanlikavak and Odunpazari houses, the Porsuk Stream, and the bars, nightlife… I really miss Eskisehir and totally recommend it to ones who are interested to visit!

Eskisehir has an amazing center with lots of museums and historical houses. O really recommend OMM ( odunpazari modern museum). Also princess castle in Sazova park was perfect. You should try 'çibörek' as a traditional food.

This is a really small and intimate city. At night, the streets are completely full of young people, and you won't see any trouble except for fights that break out from minor disagreements. It has very kind and welcoming cafes. The people are helpful, and most of them are well-intentioned. Even theft (pickpocketing) incidents are almost non-existent.

one of the safest cities in turkiye for travelers, because it's a student friendly city, the population is mostly young people. The population is friendly to students and young people. They're generally open minded. I wouldn't call turkiye safe overall but eskisehir might be the safest option.

Eskişehir is a small city next to Ankara which is the capital city of Türkiye. It is a fun city and safe. Its population is young. Çibörek and Balaban Kebab are local foods. Talkan cookie is a local dessert. Boza is a local drink.

Lovely city with a good night life. Drunk students can be a bit weird when talking but it's a nice place to live. Police offers are reliable and lost items can be found at least 70% of the time. One of the safest cities in Turkey.
