Solo travel

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

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.

In the city centre there’s a high probability to see people under the influence. Some homeless men are too. But they are chill and not aggressive. If you come to Bratislava by bus, I would recommend to go until the stop Bus Station “Mlinsky Nivy” (under the central mall, where all FlixBus and other companies are), because its located in the mall, there’s a lot of security, light and toilets

i’ve lived here for 5 years and i feel safe walking alone in the evening or at night, did that a lot of times, basic precautions should be taking into account though. i would recommend trying to stay out of dark, “dead” areas at night, not talking to strangers and of course not getting into anyone’s car unless it’s a taxi (i personally am anxious and i don’t like taking taxis alone, but we have a lot of buses and trams circulating around the city almost all the time so it’s a great option too). other than that, it’s a pretty safe city

I personally didn’t feel safe in Bratislava there is a lot of poverty and people begging for money. Although some places are nicer the lack of welfare is still very clear throughout the whole city. The vibes for me felt off too. I would only recommend to visit it for a day trip if you really want to see the city. It is also very small, I saw everything in about 3 hours, with me taking it very slowly.
