How safe is Slovenia?
Slovenia
Slovenia is a very safe country. Only in certain cities there are problems with Roman's such as Novo mesto, Krško and Ljubljana but if you stick to often travelled paths, which are everywhere, you will be safe.

It is very safe. I've been living here my whole life and I havent experienced many bad things. Sometimes you see homeless people but they arent dangerous just loud and talking to themselfs or asking for a cigarette. I have walked home at night since I was 14 and nothing bad happened never. Unless you find a drunk man asking you for a taxi there is really nothing special. I feel safe here.

Ljubljana
Ljubljana is a very tame place, mostly folks at night are either chilling outside clubs or walking from one to the next, or they are rushing to their morning jobs. There are no no-go zones like in some bigger cities, and in general its pretty quiet at night.

It is a small city and feels very safe. Maybe when you are alone at night as a woman it can feel a bit scary in some parts of the city, but overall it has a very safe vibe. Especially the centre I am never worried about something happening to me.

One of the safest countries in the world. I have never been robbed/mugged/attacked, you have to be a bit careful with pickpockets in Ljubljana - or at least so I have heard; but I have been there a lot of times and have never had trouble.

This was my first ever trip fully organized by me and it was wonderful. Ljubljana was so safe and hospitable. People were ready to help and just talk with you telling about their culture and history. Def. recommended.

Koper is a super safe city during the day. Maybe is just being parranoied but i dont like to go out at night even tho its supper safe but you never know. Stay safe ladies. Hobestly i think the worst thing that will happen to you is get your phone/wallet stolen but that has bever happend to ne before.

It is a relatively big town about 6km away from Ljubljana city centre. It's a very safe town with low crime level and i personally feel safe throughout the day but you of course have to be careful like anywhere else...

In general it is a very safe and peaceful country but i would avoid dark allies or the main train stations at night. Durring the day there is very low crime rate and people are very nice. Even durring the night it is not very dangerous but you can meet some people that make you feel uncomfortable, they probably wouldn't hurt you but you can never be too careful.

Very safe however you should always be very careful during the night because you never know who is going to be on the streets during the night. Nevertheless, Ljubljsna and Slovenia in general is a very safe place for women and kids.

Slovenia, Solo travel
In Slovenia, I felt safe at daytime. I avoided staying out late since I was not travelling woth a group or many people who would ensure a bit more safety from other people. So Imeach day I went someplace different, Ljubljana is very well connected and low budget friendly. I stayed at a room with a shared bathroom and kitchen there. It was okay, I paid very little so I basically got more than the money's worth. There are many places to visit, city and nature, but also a great combination of both. It was a great experience, the natives are open minded and will help you out. Maybe you'll find new friends! =D I definitely recommend gping there.
