How safe is Slovenia?

Ljubljana
Ljubljana is generally safe it has only become a bit less safe lately. It is still fine, everything is walkable distance and strangers would help you if anything suspicious happened. But still, some roberries and some sexual harassment.

Ljubljana is pretty safe i would say especially if you’re with a friend, but even if you’re not it’s cool. Sometimes there are weird guys or people but they just stare or make comments to their friends, which is of course very uncomfortable but they are mostly harmless physically if you just ignore them.

I’m taking the time to rate this country’s safety because it is where i have felt the most safe in my life. My friend and I were walking between towns in the middle of the night extremely drunk (not safe I know) and the only person that talked to us was to tell us to take care of ourselves. We hitchhiked, everyone that spoke to us were so respectful, and helpful. 10/10

I have lived in Koper my whole life and it is a very safe town. The crime happening is unfortunately domestic. i have never felt unsafe walking around even going for walks by myself after dark. There aren’t many muggings either

It's one of the nicest touristic places in Slovenia, really calm, small and in nature. We have a spa center here, a monestary and a hill with deers, so it also attracts people who love these kinds of things, especially nature :) Slovenia overall is one of the safest countries in the world too. Everyone is willing to help in our area

Velenje is so safe city. It’s one of the most beautiful and biggest cities and Slovenia, but still small. People are kind and they don’t care what are you doing. They take care of themselves and they don’t mind tourist

Ljubljana, Solo travel
Love Ljubljana! It is a very beautiful and young city. It is very easy to connect and meet other solo travelers and make great experiences with each other. The local food is alright, but not suited for vegetarians. But I felt very safe as a woman :)

I didn't know that I needed a vacay in this city till I had it! After one year, I still cant get over THE VIBES! I'm ecstatic how safe this city felt, especially after living in many western european cities for the last 5 years. The old town is just amazing: the Cankarjevo Nabrezje, the Triple Bridge, the Dragon Bridge, are all musts that one cannot miss. Lots of shops with dragon-souvenirs and interesting thrift stores with variety. With my partner we did the Escape from Ljubljana Castle which was super fun and well organized. In general the prices are not expensive, ut depends on one's budget ofc but overall there are places for everyone. We did Cantina mexicana and found them fair. There was also an open kitchen str food festival that we found super cool- every Friday at Pogačarjev Trg in the Old Town near the Tripple Bridge. I wasn't wowed by tivoli park ljubljana but it was a nice park to walk to, it felt clean and safe even after dusk. Hope you all enjoy it as much as we did :)
