It's pretty safe. But like in another large city there in some parts of town that are not safe. You can safely use public transport. Sometimes drunk person will tell you something to you, but you just ignore it. There a lots of good people who are willing to help with everything. They even will walk with you if you can't find a place where you're going to. People are very friendly.

Belgrade is a strange mix of high level of corruption in institutions and kindness of strangers in the street, with a possibility of someone taking your wallet in public transportation but also very low level of anyone ever breaking into your home..

Its a safe place, but i overthink. A lot of things happend in past. However i think you cd walk around almost 99% sure you won't get hurt. I walk alone at night and i feel totally safe. So does my other female friends anf family.

If you are constantly aware of your surroundings and act normally you won’t have any problems. Overall its a pretty safe city, but as anywhere you should be careful when you run into someone clearly drunk or someone who is looking for a reason for a fight, to stay away. Other than there shouldn’t be any concerns

When i was working night shifts. It was pretty chill to go at 1:00A.M home by walk. There werent many ppl, but just stick to the streets that have cameras and lights. I had a couple of times when old dudes called me dumb names, just bcs i was going to the party tho. But overall i would say its pretty safe?

As a young woman in her 20s, I was alone in Belgrade during my trip for 5 days. I usually went outside at night, and there were many other women. There was no problem with walking at night. However, be careful with your things being stolen. I had a backpack and my wallet inside of that got stolen at Trg Slavija.

I’ve been living in Belgrade for past 8 years! Overall it is a safe city, although I’ve had some weird experiences after dark - being shouted at, followed by a man, honked from the car etc.. It happened only a few times in all that time so I don’t think city is unsafe

I think Belgrad is a safe place for women. But maybe on Friday and Saturday I am a bit afraid of drunk people. Generally people are nice and helpful to each other. I especially love Serbian women. I barely see rude behavior

Very safe place except during soccer games and events. Almost none harassment on the streets. Polite and friendly people eager to help you find anything you need in our town. Most of the citizens speak English.
