How safe is Croatia?

Split
For me Split is a safe city, but when the tourist season starts it’s getting a bit less safe. But I still feel okay to go home alone even if it’s late at night. So for me it’s really safe in the winter but a bit less when tourist season starts.

I wouldn't walk around with my earphones in during the dark but overall pretty safe. Most of the city is pretty well lit. During the day, there are very few safety concerns. Some locals may be openly racist though.

I would say safe as it can be. There are always men who will try to take you home/touch you ect. But if you walk away they will leave you alone Also there are cool places to hand put where people are normal and talkative, where you don't have to be afraid

I have been out alone as a women , in bars or walking in the night and I have not felt uncomfortable at any time . There is many turists here so it’s always people out and people here are really nice because they are used to turists aswell

Its very safe, no fear. Enjoy your travels, the only violence that could happen to you is if you start hatecriming people so dw youre safe. We arent used to tourists so youll experience comfort and live and not much scamming

Dubrovnik, Solo travel
Old town is the turist part , it’s really beautiful but expensive to eat / drink / live in . So my tips is to live and eat/ drink in lapad or gruž. It’s a part of Dubrovnik city, 10 minutes away with local traffic , and it’s really cheap in comparison to old town . But it’s as good ! Go swimming and sunbathing , but I warn you it’s not a sand beach so bring thicker mat with you if you want to :)
