Very safe, good public transport and a nice peaceful neighbourhood. It's ok to walk alone at night and getting a taxi is easy. Worst thing that can happen is a comment from some drunk guy on a friday night

Zagreb is very safe city. You can walk alone at night without worrying about anything. Maybe there are some parts of city that are little bit less safe but still pretty safe. There are no murders here od gun shootings. Biggest problem is bike stealing.

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!

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

I felt super safe in Zagreb, the food is quite good and in general, the city isn't very expensive. The city itself isn't that big but it's beautiful, have some historical aura to it. The tourist attractions are okay.
