I felt very safe there are many activities. People's approach is nice. It is also close to many countries, which is a great advantage. I was able to go to Vienna, Germany and Lithuania with ease. I enjoyed every moment I lived here

I loved Brno and I really enjoyed it there. Great shopping, food, very affordable prices, beautiful cathedral, cool castle, and excellent beers. The old town is beautiful.

As a student who is there every day, I would say, Brno is pretty safe for solo travellers. It has great public transportation, I don’t remember ever being assaulted. Though it has quite a lot of homeless people, they are pretty harmless

Don’t be scared around main train station - there are some weirdly looking (and smelling people) but i think every city has homeless people around main train station. If you ignore them, they will ignore you. Other parts of city are okay and i always felt safe.
