How safe is Zadar?
overall, I would say it's very safe. there is no beggars and no homeless people around. no pickpocketing. only during summer months, professional thievs (pickpockets) from other Croatian and European cities are "active", mostly at beaches, trying to steal phones, cameras, money... other than that, never have i had to worry where is my wallet or phone, is my bag zipped, not walking nor in city buses. with years I developed a fear of walking alone anywhere at night (after midnight), before midnight I feel generally safe because its still a time when someone would be awake and there would be some traffic. "legal thieves" are taxi drivers who overcharge drives. so don't take taxi at bus station, always negotiate the price before the drive (ask what it would aprox. cost), or use Uber and/or Bolt app.

Croatia was my first solo trip, and I stayed with people through Couchsurfing. Everyone was so kind โ I met many beautiful souls and had such a positive experience. I really recommend solo traveling, it teaches you a lot and opens your heart. The places I visited were amazing โ I stayed in Zadar and also went island hopping. One of the islands I visited was Oลกljak, which was so peaceful and beautiful.

Zadar felt extremely safe at all times of day. I recommend the local stores Limun and Liliput for one of a kind souvenirs by Croatian Artists. Luna Tours for a day tour to some nearby islands and Morita for the best Pizza I've ever had in my life!
