Is Slovenia safe for women?

Ljubljana

Ljubljana is a small, cozy and safe city. It is peaceful at night and people usually just mind their own bussiness. I feel safe during the day and also going home at night alone by foot or on my bike.

Ljubljana

I dont exactly walk around the streets at random night hours and risk it, but even when approached by strangers when out, it was never too close or initiating any touch of any kind. People keep their distance, and let you be if you dont want to socialize. Apart from classic *insert any major city in EU* tourist season scum people, there is not much crime or danger here. Live near the centre, have lived on the outskirts, nothing bad happened.

Growing up here until the age of 20 Slovenia is generally safe, and I never in my life had a moment where I felt unsafe. Even after dark, it is okay for me to walk around although there is not many people around at night.

It's a safe city. If you keep to the main streets at night, there is no much danger. Public transport is safe to use at any time. The only thing to avoid is groups of immigrants, which are becoming more frequent and they are not well adapted yet.

Kranj

Kranj is a small town in Slovenia, Middle Europe, and is in general a very safe place. Rarely anything happens that would make you feel unsafe or in discomfort, so at least for me, it is pretty safe. There are, as always, some parts that can sometimes feel a bit uncofortable to pass at night, but very very rarely anything unpleasing happens.

Ljubljana

I have been living here for the past 10 years and it is a very safe city. I often walk home alone late in the evening and never had a bad experience. However, I would suggest you still pay attention as you would elsewhere as there is probably no city in the world that is 100 % safe.

Ljubljana

It used to be much safer, but I started to feel less safe in the past year. The crime rate is pretty low, and robberies/murders are almost non-existent, but sexual assualts can happen; strange men do walk around at night.

Ljubljana

Slovenia is a very safe country overall. Ljubljana is no different. General safety precautions apply. If you are aware of your sourroundings you'll be fine. On a funnier note the biggest problem to worry about are bike thiefs 😅 So always lock your bike.

Ljubljana

I'm now a 47 year old woman and I haven't had a single bad experience in Ljubljana. However, I know it has changed a bit for younger ladies, so I would avoid dark streets during the night. In general, if you follow the basic safety rules, Ljubljana is quite a safe town.

Is Slovenia worth visiting?

Travel rating

4.7 /5

based on 40 experiences from female travelers

Slovenia, Family travel

We felt really safe. We stayed each day in a different accommodation and without fail everyone was very nice and helpful. I recommend checking out the capital, it's really charming and easy to check out as it is pretty small compared to other European capitals. And of course there's Bled, which is breathtaking. I highly recommend 3-4 days in the area of the national park, there's just so many beautiful things to see and so many fun things to do. Piran is another beauty of Slovenia I wouldn't mind visiting again! As for transportation, each time I visited the country it was always by car. It is very easy to get around by cars. I'd however recommend planning beforehand and booking the accomodations in advance. It was hard to find something for the same night especially around the national park area.

Ljubljana, Group travel

I spend an amazing week in Ljubljana, Slovenia with my friends. We explored the city, went to some bars, climbed to the castle. The atmosphere in the city is really cozy, it feels like a smaller version of Vienna:) People are super friendly, almost everyone knows English. I felt rather safe but I think it was also because I was never alone. So that might depend on if you're a solo traveler. Overall I really enjoyed the trip and definitely recommend visiting Ljubljana!
