Is Belgrade Safe for Women? Crime Rate in Belgrade

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.

I, personally, as a citizen of this town, haven't experienced many bad situations. There is crime, but thankfully, I haven't been affected by it. People do tend to engage in verbal disputes frequently, so keep in mind that we are feisty, and while it could escalate, it doesn't happen very often. Regarding crime, I would mostly worry about my possessions being stolen, but that has never happened to me. You should primarily watch your belongings in larger crowds. In the city center, there are many homeless people, and sometimes they do yell out some gibberish, but they are mostly harmless. Most of the time, we are a very welcoming country with warm and friendly people, but believe me, there are exceptions. Also, I'm speaking as a resident of the town, so it might be much different for me. A lot of people I meet who come here for vacation and exploration tell me they had a nice time. Hopefully, you do as well!

I would say it’s pretty safe, I lived here all my life and despite media making it look so bad sometimes, I consider it to be safe. I walked the streets of Belgrade in the middle of the day and also in the middle of the night and never experienced any problems.

I think its usually safe just be careful of your surroundings. I never experienced anything like harassment even when walking late at night. There might be some schizophrenic people but rarely happens.

As a young girl living alone in Belgrade, I can confirm it’s very safe. I’ve been in Belgrade for four years and have only experienced being catcalled a couple of times. People in general are not paying much attention to each other, but are very friendly if being approached:) And other cities are even safer.

Belgrade is safer than most cities in Europe. Of course you have areas that you should avoid, but every city has that. Most tourist say that they feel safe around here, and want to come visit again. ☺️

Just stay away from dark alley,streets and so and u will be fine for sure. Take a taxi if u must go into long dark streets:))) And always be with someone if u can. Belgrade is beautiful and fun place, but it has dark sides.

Belgrade is pretty safe when it comes to robbery. The worst things that happen are usually just scamming tourists with slightly higher prices. Women are generally safe, and if they are not, the violence usually comes from home, not the streets. We are big party people, so if you are going out at night, there's a high probability you'll find more women heading home as well. I would still be careful if you are going through some really dark streets. We are all women, after all. Always be careful. HOWEVER, right now Belgrade is going through daily protests against the government. So, you should be more careful then usually! Most people are participating in these protests, and at the moment, there are always large crowds blocking the streets.

Solo travel

I can't recommend Belgrade enough! While to some Europeans, the city might feel shabby due to it's poor maintenance (corruption is bad here), yet, it was the safest city I ever visited. It has a lot to offer in terms of sightseeing and gastronomical tourism. Also, the prices are insanely low and perfect for budget travellers 😇

Solo travel

Belgrade is very safe for a solo female traveler. I also visited parts of the city outside the touristic city center and they felt very safe as well (Novi Beograd, Zemun). Food is very cheap and going to the restaurant is a great experience both for the food quality and the welcoming atmosphere. I would recommend if you are interested in history and architecture.
