How safe is Banská Bystrica?

Banská Bystrica is a relatively quiet and small city. It's a place where you can feel safe, even after dark. I've often walked home at night, and I know that nothing is likely to happen here, so I can comfortably go for a walk even late in the evening. In the evenings, there aren’t many people on the streets, except in the city center where the main restaurants and bars are located. In the morning and during the day, everything is calm as well.

Banská Bystrica is considered quiet and safe. The criminal rate is not very known neither discussed. You can be worried moderately as there are always chances that maniacs can be anywhere in the world and that as a woman you will always be a bit scared, but generally I feel very safe. I never hear about things like that in my city.

Banska Bystrica town in Slovakia feels genuinely okay and safe enough for me as a woman, during a day absolutely no problem, during a night from experience so far as well. If You're careful in general, there should not be any bad experience.
