How safe is Kosice?
I would say pretty safe, but I usually walk in public areas and I am not alone. I would miss parks at night or places without public lights. But I haven't got any problem with it yet or haven't felt worried
Posted: April 8, 2025Kosice is a small town with great young spirit, however it might be bit boring in a night. There are some homeless people that might be scary and start talking to you, but you can easily just walk away from them. About public transport, I personally felt very safe using it. Tip: if you don’t feel safe in a transport just sit in front of the bus/trolley.

I feel usually safe during the day and in the evenings. At night I usually take a taxi. It can be pretty vacant and calm during the week in the city center, at the end of the week it’s moderately lively, mostly with young people.

I love Košice, but there are some dark places. If you are not local or with someone that knows the town very well, I would not recommend exploring side streets, because a lot of time u can meet there junkies or just some very weird people. The city is known for its beautiful square but also for that there are a lot of junkies. But otherwise it is safe to hang out on the main street and other popular places.
