Is Rijeka Safe for Women? Crime Rate in Rijeka

Silent and safe place, but after dark, some people who are using drugs or something doing crazy things, and it is a little bit scary. In public transportation, someone tries to stay closer to you and touches mistakenly (?) Also, it is a boring city. If compared with other places in Croatia.

It's safer than a lot of other cities I've lived in. Personally, I feel safe walking both in the daytime and nighttime, and I've never been harassed or assaulted while out or on public transport. But, some female friends have told me that they have been catcalled by construction workers and one of them has been groped by an old man while on the bus, but a young man stepped in and told the assaulter to move unless he wanted the same experience.

I have grown up in Rijeka and never had any safety concerns. Completely ssfe to walk alone at night even at 3 AM. Nevver experienced muggings or anything of sorts. Of course always be on the safe side brcause you never know but Rijeka and Croatia in general are very safe.

I didn’t have any problems since I moved here, I’ve been living here for the past 4 years. Walking alone at any time of the day is very safe. You can ask locals for the help if you need, English is in most of the cases very well spoken.

Rijeka is very safe city, from my personal opinion and experience you should not worry about anything. You can walk freely around, no problems with taxi drivers. I would say that everyone is nice and polite with foreigners.

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!

Solo travel

I stayed at the Kosy hostel in Rijeka. It was a peaceful hostel with a nice atmosphere. The city of Rijeka was also quiet, but not dead. Lots of cafes and restaurants. The Sablićevo beach was beautiful.
