How safe is Croatia?
Pula
So overall Pula is a great pleace to stay and feel safe Us locals know basically everyone that lives there so it is hard to feel unsafe So just dont be stupid and dont do dumb things and everyone should be having great time If you want to know more i highly suggest to go to the locals (cafe pleaces, stores...) and ask them anything more Real locals in Pula are mostly very kind and welcoming and ready to help with any direction needed

I have lived in Zagreb for years and haven’t had a bad or scary experience. I feel safe walking alone at dark. There are some neighbourhoods that are generally less safe (possibility of theft), but they are on the outskirts, so I doubt visitors would found themselves there.

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

Croatia, Family travel
Might be our false but all places we been there (and we touring all country by car) were too much touristic and overpriced, I didn't feel any of the local atmosphere (if it actually exists). Safety was fine but it may feels like that only because I was with my family.

The coast is simply amazing. Stayed at one camp kozica in the north, close to italian border and even if everything was insanely expensive (0.5 beer at supermarket was over 1euro in 2019!!!), we couldnt bring ourselves to leave. We barely got by, but its still my favourite seaside experience!
