I regularly walk or bike during the night or early in the morning, and I'm living like that from high school. So I'll say it's pretty safe. But I don't feel safe when I see immigrants, and we have it more and more of them.

Zagreb is claimed to be the safest European city to walk alone at night two years in a row now. I have walked many nights alone and I always felt safe. The only creeps are grandpas that can have comments.
Posted: April 28, 2025I am living in Zagreb for about 3 years and I have never expirienced any bad things from people there. I would say it is really save town, and generally Croatia is one of the safest countryes in Europe.

I would rate Zagreb as an extremely safe city. My parents always say to be careful and not carry your phone in your pocket, but I don't worry and I've never been pickpocketed. I would say it's safe for everyone, even foreigners, even at night. I've been out at club few times alone and I'm still alive haha
Posted: April 16, 2025Zagreb is a really safe place, even after dark. Of course it's always recommended to be attentive and keep your eyes open, but usually no problems! After clubs it's recommended to use bolt/uber cause the public transport doesn't go as often
Posted: March 4, 2025Zagreb in my opinion is very safe, of course things happen but the overall feeling is safe and people do really want to help out. Something to remember is that people can be pushy but there's usually no I'll intent behind it.
Posted: March 2, 2025It is a generally safe city. I feel safe walking alone at night because i do it fairly often. I feel safe in public transport and i would only be worried about getting robbed at the train stationor bus station.

Zagreb is really one of the safest cities for travelers, no matter of sex or age, by opinion of many people and media. I've been living in Zagreb since 2020 and have never had a negative experience regarding personal safety.

Zagreb is the capital city of Croatia so here we have people who came from other countries. Because of the politics and bad things happening in the world, in the last two years we gained a good amount of people coming here from Nepal, Afganistan and Pakistan. I personally don’t feel safe seeing them in my town because big number of them are men.

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 !

Hi! I’m 20, a student who loves discovering new places — just need the courage (and company) to finally go. I work student jobs, go to concerts, love sightseeing and cool museums. Always up for coffee and a good view!

Hey, y’all. My name is Katia, I am 18. I’ve been living in Croatia most of my life, but soon I’ll go study fashion in Milan. I love traveling and meeting new people. I am a little shy at first, but I’m an extrovert at heart. I’m down to meeting people in Zagreb to hangout or show around. Since I love to travel I would love to meet people all across the world :)
