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 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 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

I think Bratislava is a city sa any other. There have been some bad attacks and threats but it's not on a regular basis. It is quite exceptional and rare. Personally, for 20 years in my life I have never been a part of anny assault or threat, nor a witness

I think in Bratsiava we have normal life mostly teenagers. If something happens to you somebody will take care of you for sure. I think people in Bratislava are kind and polite so If you ask somebody will help you.

Town where i live my whole life is very safe for poeple (young or old, girlsor boys). You can visit my town and don't have to worry about someone stealing or attacking you. The city is very safe during the day and also at night.

Is Bratislava worth visiting?

Travel rating

4.3 /5

based on 14 experiences from female travelers

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

Solo travel

First of all, I would like to say that it is a very safe place for solo travel. Prices are not too high compared to other European cities. Their most famous dish is similar to halusky niyokki. you can try. Slavin, Slovak National Gallery, Blue Church, Bratislava Castle, Devin Castle are the places you should definitely go. 2 days will be enough to visit the whole city. It was pretty easy to find the buses with google maps. local people were very helpful. They generally know English. In summary, it is a place where you can go and see, but you should not keep expectatiın very high.
