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 !

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

Zagreb is really a safe city, as is the whole Croatia. You can go anywhere alone, although the people are sometimes a bit rude, so they catcall you or give you some kind of compliment. All in all, Croatia is very safe country to walk around freely.

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

About me

I’m an easygoing and curious soul who loves discovering new places, cultures, and flavors. Traveling makes me feel free and alive – I enjoy wandering through old streets, trying local food, and connecting with people who have different stories to tell. I value good company, laughter, and creating meaningful memories. I’m looking for travel buddies who share the same outlook on life – appreciating the little things while still being open to adventure and exploring. ✈️ If you’re up for a coffee in a hidden spot, a spontaneous road trip, or planning a bigger journey together – let’s connect!
