How safe is Slovakia?
Bratislava
Town where i live my whole life is very safe for poeple (young or old, girlsor boys). You can visit my town and don't have to worry about someone stealing or attacking you. The city is very safe during the day and also at night.

I have a good and bad experiences,as everywhere. There are no murders or kidnapping or raping on daily basis. I don’t even think I heard of some. Of course I was harassed,but it was mostly when I traveled or by old men in public,where normally I wouldn’t go. Where I live it’s really safe and peace. I can go on a walk at night without being much worried as there are not much people in my village. It’s not even much know in this country,so I always talk about closest town where I live.

There are groups of dangerous people, however I have never personally experienced any catcalling, harassment or danger. Still, it is best to be cautious and careful and it’s definitely safer to travel as a group.

It’s not safe actually, because it’s a small city for students but after the twilight you can find fair amount of adult men on the streets. A few regions in Nitra are filled with drunk people who can easily try harassment

Bratislava
Bratislava is a small walkable city which is very safe even after dark. Even public transport is very safe to use during the evenings/nights. During weekends there are usually more police officers in the streets and we have a dedicated team of young people going around during nights making sure nobody is left drunk in the streets.

Bratislava is a moderately safe city. During the day, you won’t have a problem with walking alone or using public transportation. But after dark you will meet a lot of sketchy people (also depends which time of year are you visiting), you will probably experience cat calling but that is mostly it, nothing more normally.

Slovakia is quite a safe country, considering that it is small and not famous. There are not as many crimes as in larger countries. You can safely use public transport, especially in rural areas. Quite a tolerable place.

I would say it’s a pretty safe place, there are no sketchy places nor people, my worries are pretty general just because I’m a woman. There’s really minimal crime in my opinion, not the best night life but we have a lot of cafes

Its a save town. Not that much crime happens here. Lots of kind and Nice people live here. I am a Police officer so i know the best. On weekend its also calm. We have only two clubs but nothing strange happens there. :)

I really enjoyed hitchhiking in Slovakia. I crossed the country from east to west and felt very welcomed everywhere. Bratislava has crazy nightlife, you definitely don't wanna miss this city. I've stayed in Wild Elephants hostel and that is just a crazy place!

I love Košice, but there are some dark places. If you are not local or with someone that knows the town very well, I would not recommend exploring side streets, because a lot of time u can meet there junkies or just some very weird people. The city is known for its beautiful square but also for that there are a lot of junkies. But otherwise it is safe to hang out on the main street and other popular places.
