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.

We were a group of 5 women. We feel safe anytime. We walked during the day to visit and during the night to find a restaurant. We parked the rentalcar in parking underground and we never feel unsafe. We rented a car to visit around the city. It's a realy beautiful country, I warmly recomend !

Solo travel

I went to Zagreb twice and spent most time alone. I felt very safe in the city centre. There are many interesting museums and parks to visit. I loved the botanical garden, cat cafe and museum of broken relationships. I suggest eating at HERITAGE. It's a bit expensive and crowded but it's amazing. The public transport is very easy and works at night as well. Overall a good place to travel solo and friendly to meeting people.

Solo travel

My first solo trip was to Zagreb. The city is very walkable and clean, and everything touristy is within a short distance. It has a great choice of museums, from the Chocolate Museum to the Museum of Broken Relationships (which turned out to be my favorite). Also stunning architecture. As a woman traveling alone, I felt very safe.

Zagreb is really a safe city, as is the whole Croatia. You can go anywhere alone, although the people are sometimes a bit rude, so they catcall you or give you some kind of compliment. All in all, Croatia is very safe country to walk around freely.

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!
