How safe is Bratislava?

Bratislava is overall safe but there are some places like Vrakuňa, Dubrávka or Trnávka that i dont recommend to visit. Walking alone at night gets me worries but its not as bad as in other countries. Stay safe :)

I think of it as a very calm city. There may be some pickpockets in very crowded areas. The locals seem very calm and helpful. The places that are a bit more sketchy are on the outskirts of the city but that is usually the case for most capitals. Attention is needed when crossing the street but again it depends a lot on the area you’re visiting. The usual tourist attractions places are very safe and clean.

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

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’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

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.

Solo travel

I felt pretty safe in Bratislava during the day but less at night, especially around the Centrum bus station and the Obchodná street. So, I will recommend you to go out with other people and not alone in this city. I really like the Devin Castle with beautiful landscape of nature, very relaxing. I enjoyed a lot too the city Center and the view from the castle and muzeum mesta bratislavy I will recommend the spot “Pasteleria” for the coffee time
