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 :)
Posted: June 12, 2025I 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

Bratislava is pretty much very safe, there’s always people in town also at night even during week.. mostly young people helpfull and friendly.. both day and night id say bratislava is very safe even for solo travel ladies :)))
Posted: April 28, 2025It’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
Posted: April 28, 2025It’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.
Posted: May 16, 2025Experienced: December, 2024I 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
