65% safe for women, 40% safe for LGBTQIA+ members. I would stay off of suburubs, especially on the east side of the town. Sometimes local pubs have 40+ men day drinking and sexually harrasing. Generally, woman's place is in the kitchen, mostly catholic country, we have ultra wing parties who tried to pass on the law of marriage = one man+one woman. We also have very prominent kneelers at the main square who are kneeling weekly against abortion.
Posted: October 18, 2024Overall very safe, but people taking public transport should be aware of occasional pickpocketers. Catcalling exists here, but it’s easily dealt with by just ignoring such people. As long as you keep your wits about you, you shouldn’t worry about being mugged, drugged, etc

It is one of the safest cities I've ever been to. I feel really safe living in Zagreb and would recommend a visit. There could sometimes be situations where I could be uncomfortable as a woman but not many and I usually can handle them pretty good.
Posted: September 12, 2024Zagreb and Croatia are overall safe for female travelers, the people are hospitable and i feel safe at night but our men are still balkan men and can be pretty traditional. But i would definitely recommend it for female solo travelers. I rarely get harassed on the street, and if i do it's usually men yelling something from their cars.
Posted: September 10, 2024Zagreb is usually a low crime city and it's completely safe, like most cityies in croatia but you still gotta be careful when you're going out alone late from a club or something. But that's recommended for every city ever.

Zagreb, from my pint of view at 20 years living here, never felt unsafe, never attacked, never had bad experience. That's me, but I know some rare situation by my friend about stollen bikes. I have a bike 20 y and still have it!

I grew up in Zagreb and experienced every part of the city and I can with 100% confidence say that this is one pf the safest cities in the world. I can walk home alone at 3 am and I will feel super safe.
Posted: July 21, 2024I usually walk home from night outs and never had the slightest issue. I also walk with my phone in my back pocket or bag open and nothing ever happened. The safest capital I have been to, definitely.
Posted: July 13, 2024Zagreb is overall safe city. There are some exceptions but overall safe. I am not scared of coming back home at night even with public transport and until now I haven't felt discomfort or scared to come back home at late hour.
Posted: July 9, 2024Zagreb is generally vety safe city, for anyone, women included. There are very few areas where I would not like to walk alone during night. City center is safe at any time during day or night. Public transportation too.

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 !

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.
