How safe is Croatia?
Zagreb
Hii, this is for all the girlies coming to Zagreb, i’ve lived here my whole life and never had any problems or was afraid to walk alone at night. Tho i would like to mention that a neighbourhood called Dubrava is the least safe part of Zagreb so i would not recommend booking an apartment there. Any place alse is quite nice. Have a safe trip ladies!

I've lived in Vodice my whole life, and it's always felt like a very safe town. There have never been any incidents involving strangers attacking women. I often walk home alone at night and feel completely safe and comfortable. Very safe :))

In my experience, I've only had trouble with sexual harassment from some locals when hanging out with only my female friends, but they get scared when there's a guy near. I go there every year and have never had fears beyond that and felt pretty safe

A small city that you can walk through easily from end to end. Unfortunately there isn’t much to do in Zagreb but it does have some good nature trails that you can get on directly from the city. The people are not very friendly but the men are helpful if you’re a woman who is dressed in conventionally feminine clothing

Trogir is a small town, so if anything happens, everybody will know. It is too small for something big to happen. There aren't any clubs, only pubs and coffe places. Of course, those places may be really full of people in the evenings but theres low chance of anything bad happening. For me, i live near Trogir and i never felt 'unsafe'. Of course, always keep an eye open and be ready if anything happens. Some tourists may cause trouble too so, be careful. But overall, enjoy a little cute town !

Zagreb is safe, even at night. It's the safest capital in Europe. Public transportation is secure. People are willing to help if they see something unusual. I never felt threatened or unsafe, even after walking from the club at 3am.

Tourists are really unwanted here i believe, i had a night interaction with people were they were basically threatening us. Overall it was a great stay but when you there you gotta be informed that it is a new touristic place and that the large amount of touristic devices are a burden for some of the population, so don’t overstep !!

It was really nice stay. We stayed in split but it’s very expensive. We went to the beach most days and also visited krka national park which à would recommend. We also went on a pirateship it’s was really fun. Downtown grill was a really nice restraunt we ate there pretty often.
