How safe is Ljubljana?
If you want to be safe in Ljubljana, visit it especially during the day, never, or at least if you stay in Ljubljana after midnight. Using public transport is very safe, there is no need to be afraid. People are very friendly and happy to help you. Despite the fact that Slovenia is a very safe country, it is not superfluous to keep an eye on your belongings and check who you hang out with.
Posted: September 24, 2025I think Ljubljana is pretty safe. If you’re a woman it’s probably safest for you to transport yourself with a bike or a bus or an Uber. There is a subculture of teenage boys and younger men who tend to harrass non-basic looking people on the streets but other than that it’s pretty peaceful and safe.

I find Ljubljana very safe. In general I think there is not a lot of crime. But I still don't feel comfortable walking by myself at night... You have to be very careful in clubs because you could be drugged. I would still recomend clubbing but not alone.

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.
Posted: June 24, 2025Ljubljana 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.

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 :)
