How safe is Bratislava?

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
