Is Sarajevo Safe for Solo Female Travelers?

Family travel

I stayed in Sarajevo for 3 days and always felt safe, even at night. The people are welcoming and the city has a calm and relaxed atmosphere. I stayed in an apartment in the center, a perfect location to get around on foot: almost everything is within walking distance. I recommend visiting Baščaršija (the old town), the Tunnel of Hope, the cable car that goes up Mount Trebević (amazing views), and simply getting lost among the streets full of history. The War Museum disappointed me a bit...

I felt safe in Sarajevo but I don’t know if that’s because i was with my family or not but I think it’s a calm city. I didn’t feel particularly alarmed. Just be aware of your surroundings but I wouldn’t say that it’s dangerous to solo travel here.

Food was good, people were nice. TIP If u want to buy something in a local street store better ask someone local if he / she can buy it for you. Because when they hear turist price is double😆 .......

Really enjoyed Sarajevo. It is such an interesting city with an incredibly tragic history. It felt so safe as a solo female traveller as the locals are so friendly! I recommend staying 3-4 nights as there is so much to do.

Sarajevo is such an underrated place. It has a lot of charm, and the people are very friendly. I participated in several activities, such as a trip to Mostar. I also visited an abandoned bobsleigh track. There is so much amazing history there, and the food was incredible. I felt safe, but I'm not overly interested in nightlife, so I had dinner and returned to my Airbnb.

My Erasmus experience was in Sarajevo, and I felt safe the whole time. The crime rates are really low, and I felt completely comfortable walking the streets at night because the city is so lively. Definitely recomand for travel

sarajevo as the capital town doesnt have crime, at all in the main parts of the town. just be safe when crossing roads and stay away from interacting with drunk strangers because car crashes and danger might be often. but there is violence which is random. all u have to do is watch out at night. trains are open till 12pm.

People are welcoming and it was all safe.I experienced walking around city center at night and there were people around still at 12 . Most places were open and nobody make me feel in danger . It was a nice trip

thankfully i haven’t had any overly unpleasant situations and i generally feel safe at night until i see someone. it’s good to have something for self defence.

Very calm country feels like it is still 2015 compared too big cities. Not very kind but definetely not rude people,just little bit cold. Veeeeery cold in winter but very hot in summer. Food is awesome. Good pubs,international restaurants. Bunch of museums and landscapes. Cheap compared to ant other european country. Public transport is enough and very simple. I havent experienced bad yet but I still dont recommend to take a public transport or walk alone after midnight.

I would say it’s a safe city; the crime rate is low, but there are some exceptions, as there are everywhere. People are nice and polite; I personally haven’t been harassed by anyone in any way. The city is full of migrants, though, and they could be the ones making trouble.
