it's one of the safest cities in Europe, I worked at the souvenir store, and didn't have any worries leaving from work at 21:00, could most safely walk home or get a bus and go without worrying I'm always going in earphones and don't worry about being robbed

Capital city Bratislava could be questionable at night, but overall very safe during the day. Then it could depend on cities and specific locations that could be more dangerous- gypsy communities. But overall I safe even in forests. If you're lost you can ask bypasser stranger for help. But have bear spray if you go into wilderness

It’s safe, but during the weekends when there is a lot of people out in the centre of the city there is a bigger chance of encountering some drunk people or late at night a drunk homeless guy. But overall maybe just have your phone close by because there could be some thieves in the centre

It is very safe. I have been living here for 15 months already and I have never experienced anything bad. I am always careful as an alone girl and it's a habit because it's necessary but overall city it's safe.

It’s moderate safe. Except for a couple of gypsy gangs that may take advantage of tourists and try and rob them. Some people are not also welcoming to foreigners especially black people. I have had someone tell me to go back where I came from… but that’s a small percentage

It’s pretty safe city , of course you should avoid some places that could be dangerous , and during the night it’s better to not be completely alone ,when you go party is better to be in a group , avoid zones as pentagone

Bratislava is overall a very safe destination even for solo female travellers, of course you have to be careful with strangers and rather walk at busier streets during the night time, but people in Bratislava are very nice and helpful

Well, its a small city compared to some cities of the world. I would say its retty safe. I would sau that even tho its pretty safe, you should still be careful. Slovak men are very sexist and sometimes you can experience this sexism even in public. I know its ufair and i wish it didnt have to be like this, but id suggest not wearing shor skirts od tank tops and stuff like that in public transport or late at night. It might be okay, it isnt like something always happens, but better safe than sorry.

I would say pretty safe, but I usually walk in public areas and I am not alone. I would miss parks at night or places without public lights. But I haven't got any problem with it yet or haven't felt worried
