How safe is Croatia?
Zagreb
Zagreb is quite safe. The streets are filled with people and well lit. The public transportation is very safe and the buses and trams are covered with cams. Petty crime is also low, maybe there's some in the touristy areas, but overall there's no reason to worry.

It is generally safe. But there are always exeptions. Best advice would be travel in pair or a group, but you will mostly be safe if you follow all the general safety tips. As a girl Irving here all my life, there are always some creeps on the street, just try to ignore them and don't try to talk to them or anything similar.

I think that koprivnica is really safe and nice city for girls. People here are polite and not so interested in strangers, they are minding their own business/lives so u donât have to worry. On the streets people will always help you and direct u if you need. So u donât need to worry! Itâs safe.
Posted: January 1, 2025Osijek
Osijek is a very safe town, when I go out in the streets during daytime, I donât feel a bit scared, I am also not scared when I go out to the club, or go home in the night, or even in the sunrise. The buildings are really safe, and the residents never share safety numbers to anyone, even friends. The apartments and hotels, as I heard from people coming here, are also a safe place. I never felt my house could be broken in, or that i could be assaulted in the streets. Of course there are some dangers, like youngsters speeding in their vehicles, or drunk people in clubs, but theyâre a rarity.

Zagreb is quite safe. Avoid Dubrava and lone places late at night. Just in case, lol Centar and all is OK. Anywhere with lights. Careful with glavni kolodvor underground passage after 12 or so At night, maybe

It is safe to walk alone, going home by public transportation alone, walking out when itâs dark. Wearing short skirts or whatever you want outside or going out in a club⌠Calling taxi with a girl friend or alone is safe you donât have to have a male friend to feel safe.

Dubrovnik
Dubrovnik is a safe and friendly city. Women in groups or as solo travelers from all over the world come here, especially during the summertime. The city also has a very low crime rate. Dubrovnik is safe both day and night.

Honestly its pretty safe. Sometimes i walk alone at 4am and never felt like someone would harass me. Ofcourse every city has man who might catcall you while u walk by but its never like they are gonna touch you or anything. You just kinda walk by and no one cares to follow you. Overall pretty safe city. Felt safe both as a kid and young adult

Novigrad is a small coastal town that gets a bit more lively during the summer season as a lot of tourists come from other parts of Europe. However, the city stays pretty calm, safe and quiet all year long.

Pisarovina
Pisarovina is a small village close to the capital city of Croatia - Zagreb. Pisarovina is really safe because everyone knows each other. Although there is almost nothing to see in Pisarovina, Zagreb is really close. I think Pisarovina is a good place to stay at if you want to visit Zagreb or take day trips to somewhere in Croatia.

Posted: December 26, 2024Rijeka, Solo travel
My trip to Rijeka was quite fun - I ate some excellent seafood, wandered around the city, and then spent the afternoon reading at the beach with some wine. I felt quite safe, even during my walk in the late evening. It was a very fun experience, however after two days there was not that much for me to do. I would recommend for a short getaway for a solo trip!
