How safe is Slovakia?

Podbrezová

Overally I think it's pretty safe place, the only problem might be some of the residents or the wild animals in near villages since it's a place in mountains. If you want to stay here I don't think there is any further safety problem

Nitra

It’s a nice city, throughout the day it’s safe, I would say that if you have darker skin you can get looks, being with Slovak can be better for you for sure, lots of night bars and overall it’s pretty chill.

Zilina

I think, Žilina is safe city, but I'm worried to walk through the city in the dark. Public transport is safe, because lot of people are using it, so always is there someone and you will never be alone here. Maybe in some part of city is dangerous but I think that in and around the centre is safe.

Our city is super small and everybody knows each other's so if someone did smt illegal they would be catched really fast, if you forget smt somewhere you will probably never see it again but nobody would steal smt from your hands or pockets that is absolutely not happening there.

Nové Mesto nad Váhom

Nové Mesto nad Váhom is a town located in the Trenčín Region of Slovakia, approximately 27 km from Trenčín and 100 km from Bratislava. I personally think that its not really dangerous here but sometimes you can meet very bizarre people. Most of the time they are all talk and no actions but you never know what to expect

Stupava

It is safe city, near to main city of Slovakia. Safety is on high level i think, I’m nog scared walking alone in the city after dark or something. Nature here is beautiful. Main city is 30 min by bus.

Slovakia

Actually, it is safe country. Of course different situations may happen everywhere, but here I do not think about some danger. Not much poor people on the streets in the city centre, here is Bolt and Uber, so taxi ride will be safer and drivers are mostly good driving and educated. Transportation is ok, some buses are available during the whole night.

Kosice

Kosice is a small town with great young spirit, however it might be bit boring in a night. There are some homeless people that might be scary and start talking to you, but you can easily just walk away from them. About public transport, I personally felt very safe using it. Tip: if you don’t feel safe in a transport just sit in front of the bus/trolley.

District of Bratislava IV

It’s very safe, many families live here. Usually nothing to be worried about. Still need to be careful after dark like everywhere else. Nothing to be worried about during the day tho. It’s a fairly small area as well.
