How safe is Slovakia for women?
Bratislava
Bratislava is usually a safe place for women to move or walk but it is better to use public transport or taxi after midnight. I advise not to walk alone at night and in suburb areas and not talk to drunk people especially in the city centre.

I think Bratislava is very safe town, I live all life there. I have been only once sexualy harrashed in public transport. And one time my bag was stolen. But if I can compare, I delt more in danger in Paris or London.

Piestany
I love my hometown. Piešťany is a spa city filled with a lot of cafes where people like to hang out. I believe this city has the potential to be more appealing to tourists and locals as there are a lot of people trying to organize events and stuff. Definitely recommend visiting this city during some traditional festivals. When it comes to safety, it's quite safe, but I do have to add that I was not that much into the club scene, so I can't talk about that experience here. My favorite coffee spots: Concept (in Arta center) Mlynček (under Kolonáda and close to the cinema Fontána) It's a nice city to relax and do some cycling and kayaking

Hello,
Bratislava
Bratislava is an ultra safe town. Never felt unsafe, even in the evening. There might be parts, of course, as in any town, but the touristy part, center is super safe. Never even thought of any issues.

Bratislava is commonly save city. I only recommend to be more careful in night time and during using of public transport. In the city are also some thiefs as everywhere, but I never experienced anything. Only my friends were stolen about bike.

Turany is a small city in the middle of the Slovakia, which is dead by 10 pm, so walking during night on streets is reakly safe and you can only meet some drunk kids. The crime rate is really low and people during day are usually nice and can help you, even thought they tend to stare which is sometimes uncomfortable. The mountains above Turany are beautiful, and the tiusrist there are super friendly.

Nová Dubnica
Nová Dubnica is a small town. It is very safe. I wasn't afraid to walk around the town in the middle of the night even when I was a child. You don't have to worry about walking around the streets on your own, it is very unlikely, that something bad would happen to you.

Zilina
I have been living in Žilina my whole life. I think it is like any other city in middle/eastern Europe. If you go late at night you will encounter creep but mostly they do not pay attention to you. During the day I feel 100% safe and would recommend visiting my city

It really it depends on the part of town, I think the old town is very safe, I've lived here all my life and nothing bad has ever happened to me. But some parts of the city like Petržalka or Vrakuňa are more dangerous.

In Slovakia Bratislava is safer than other places where less people live, because on the countryside the crime levels are higher, there live more gypsy people, and the most of them are not integrated to the population properly, they could make a lot bad things.

Bratislava, Solo travel
First of all, I would like to say that it is a very safe place for solo travel. Prices are not too high compared to other European cities. Their most famous dish is similar to halusky niyokki. you can try. Slavin, Slovak National Gallery, Blue Church, Bratislava Castle, Devin Castle are the places you should definitely go. 2 days will be enough to visit the whole city. It was pretty easy to find the buses with google maps. local people were very helpful. They generally know English. In summary, it is a place where you can go and see, but you should not keep expectatiın very high.

It’s really safe for solo traveler to travel in their capital city, there’s not much things to do in Bratislava, I recommend to take a bus 20mins to a small town , there is a meditation circle on the hill of the town which is really amazing!

Bratislava, Solo travel
I spent 2 days in Bratislava and that was enough for me. I visited Devín Castle in the first half of the day, and then I went to the center - Hrad, the Old Town, and covered all the major landmarks. The next day I went to see St. Elizabeth's Church, it was built from blue stone and looked amazing. It is located a bit off the beaten path, so I went there another day (after the main landmarks). I also combined this with a visit to Rusovce Castle, which offers beautiful views and has a large park.

I was in Bratislava last month. Charming city, small, but there's plenty to do. However, it's not the best place for nightlife.
