Is Republic of Serbia safe for women?

Belgrade

I think Belgrade is a very safe city. There are plenty of cameras and police, but there are cases where some people complain about being robbed on the street without even noticing. So it's best to keep an eye on your valuables.

I have been living here for 5 years and I have never had any negative experiences. I believe it is quite safe. The only thing that comes to my mind would be Friday and Saturday nights in the city center when there can be a lot of drunk people who could say something unpleasant.

Usually you wont have any issues traveling to Belgrade, our people are kind to foreigners. Just be aware of potential taxi scammers and people who check bus tickets, I’ve seen them trying to scam foreigners as well. There is some amout of robbers going around, usually gypsies and migrants (not trying to be racist) so just be aware of that 🤍

Belgrade

Belgrade is pretty safe in comparison with some other countries. However, there is a still a bit of concern because is not perfectly safe. Some small robberies in public transport are happening. People often experience their wallet being stolen or their phones. Also occasionally it can happen that you find drunk people on the street harassing you. But chances of something more serious to happen to you are slim.

Belgrade

This review will shortly compare safety of Serbia to the Netherlands, since I have been living Belgrade and several NL cities for a while. Short answer - yes, Belgrade is safe. For a longer answer, read on. Belgrade is one of the safest cities out there. Here at night people walk their dogs in a park - while (living) in the NL I was surprised by the recommendation not to go into parks after dark. Violent crime rate is very low - that is, gang members focus on other gangs, not on other innocent people, and we rarely hear about violent crimes on the news. On the traffic crossing though - do be careful, since some car drivers are convinced they own the road, despite of all laws and common sense saying otherwise. That being said, pedastrian awareness is also one of the things I miss from the Netherlands. Conclusion: Belgrade is safe, vibrant city with a lot to offer, and the locals are friendly. Enjoy!

Novi Sad

It's pretty safe, even at night. I wouldn't recommend going alone at night, but the worse that happened to me was someone honking while I was crossing the road. Some guys could stop you to ask for an instagram handle or number, but honestly, that's pretty rare, only at crowded areas at night.

Belgrade

Belgrade is one of the safest world capitals. You can walk around as a woman in the middle of the night and be perfectly safe. There is some pickpocketing in the tourist areas and on the public transport, but extremely low violent crime.

Belgrade is generally safe place for woman. Me, as a woman, have never had any bad experience while walking alone at night through the city, especially in the center, mostly cause people are friendly, helpful and kind, maybe even more when you're a foreigner.

My hometown is very safe place where nothing ever bad happened. In the summer it is alive and young people are everywhere all day and night. Loads of people and families on the lakes and in the caffès…

Senta

It’s a small town, full of locals, pretty safe. The population is really small. There is no public transport inside the town, but taxis are totally safe. Walking at night is not dangerous at all, but in some streets the lights aren’t working which makes the walking a little scary, but the streets are usually empty.

Belgrade, Couple travel

Belgrade is a marvellous place! On the one hand you have brutalist yugoslavic achitecture and on the other hand you can find ottoman and other traces of the profound history of the city. Me and my female friend stayed ad a save campground at a margin of Zemu. Every morning we took the bus for 50ct we could pay via App to downtown. It took us 30 min to get there. The main attractions were the Museum of Yugoslavia and the coffee shops downtown. Another highlight was the the open air cinema "Novi bioskop Zvezda" at the rooftop of the old cinemabuilding. We stayed in downtown until 11pm and took a taxi on the road back to our campground without any incidences.

Belgrade, Solo travel

It was a safe city. The food was very delicious and reasonably priced. I was able to take night walks without any problems. It is a small city and you can visit many places on foot. A woman can easily wander around alone.
