It’s fairly safe here, but you can’t completely ignore the possibility of encountering Roma people who might snatch something from you, offend you, hit you, or do something else. Overall, Slovakia has very friendly people, and in Žilina, incidents don’t happen very often. At least, nothing has ever happened to me — no one has stolen from me or hurt me in the three years I’ve been here, and, in general, I consider Žilina to be a fairly safe city. That said, you should be cautious of the Roma, but they are present throughout Slovakia, so it’s something to keep in mind.

Overall, the city is safe. But after dark you should use your discerment and I would recommend not to wear your headphones if you are walking alone. There is an issue with homeless people or drug addicts who will try to harass you, but you can avoid them easily if you are a little bit careful.
Posted: August 14, 2025Safe for solo traveling ladies. I live here for 8 years I do not have one single bad experience in public transfer, on the street or in public places. It is a small welcoming capital city for all the girls/genders/people

Part where I live is really safe. There is good lightning on the streets, only few homeless in BA3, but not in my area, no problems with crime. I do not remember to hear about some crime issues related to women in part where I live for years.

A small city, good for a city break. One day was enough for me to see the sights. In my opinion, it's safe, but at stations, stops, and on buses, I was sometimes approached by homeless people. When they heard I didn't speak their language, they left me alone. Great local wine.
