I felt super safe in Zagreb, the food is quite good and in general, the city isn't very expensive. The city itself isn't that big but it's beautiful, have some historical aura to it. The tourist attractions are okay.

We were a group of 5 women. We feel safe anytime. We walked during the day to visit and during the night to find a restaurant. We parked the rentalcar in parking underground and we never feel unsafe. We rented a car to visit around the city. It's a realy beautiful country, I warmly recomend !

I lived in Zagreb my entire life and I can tell you it's pretty safe. There's hardly been a report of theft, murder, assault or anything such those. I feel safe in Zagreb because I've not thought about being kidnapped or assaulted in any way, let alone being afraid of it.

Feel free to go out when you want, wearing what ever you want. Ofcourse, every woman will feel safer when they are in a group of friends or people but overall I really think that Croatia as a country is safer than most countries

Very safe, good public transport and a nice peaceful neighbourhood. It's ok to walk alone at night and getting a taxi is easy. Worst thing that can happen is a comment from some drunk guy on a friday night

At the moment I am a video editor at a major TV broadcaster in Zagreb, Croatia. I used to work and study in Denmark where I graduated Sustainable Heritage Management. I love to travel, meet interesting people and I draw most inspiration from animals and the natural world. In my spare time I like to hike with my dog and do photography and cinematics.
