How safe is Belgrade for solo female travelers?

Travel safety index

4.4 /5

Family travel

Belgrade is very underrated. Half of my family lives there and I go twice a year. Summer is great but can get quite hot. Winter is nice too but be prepared for kitschy decorations. The public transport is free, the food is great and the night life is fantastic-what more do you want :)

During my stay at Belgrade I felt safe. I met really kind and interesting people. Serbs love dogs, I saw them everywhere. Public transport is free now, so we drove everywhere. I slept at Different Belgrade camping, about 15 km from the city centre. If you're vegan like me, you can easily find Asian vegan options.

I felt safe walking even at night as a woman. There were many young women who were around my age, on a walk with their friends, pets etc at night and at parks. The cuisine is usually a mix of Ottoman and Italian, not very diverse as a Turkish person. The people were usually kind! My wallet got stolen at Trg Slavija Mc Donald’s tho, I don’t recommend wearing backpacks. The city is small, walkable distance.

Solo travel

Belgrade is very safe for a solo female traveler. I also visited parts of the city outside the touristic city center and they felt very safe as well (Novi Beograd, Zemun). Food is very cheap and going to the restaurant is a great experience both for the food quality and the welcoming atmosphere. I would recommend if you are interested in history and architecture.

Belgrade is a marvellous place! On the one hand you have brutalist yugoslavic achitecture and on the other hand you can find ottoman and other traces of the profound history of the city. Me and my female friend stayed ad a save campground at a margin of Zemu. Every morning we took the bus for 50ct we could pay via App to downtown. It took us 30 min to get there. The main attractions were the Museum of Yugoslavia and the coffee shops downtown. Another highlight was the the open air cinema "Novi...

It was a safe city. The food was very delicious and reasonably priced. I was able to take night walks without any problems. It is a small city and you can visit many places on foot. A woman can easily wander around alone.

I felt safe. I had a fun holiday, the prices for food and drinks were affordable. Taxi was cheap, I usually walked and occasionally took a taxi. It is better to stay in the center. Marks Place was very nice. I recommend for food

Group travel

We stayed in a airbnb which was really cozy and nice but had enormous stairs while being on the 5th floor. Belgrade is a very budget friendly city and is also quite beautiful. We were out in the night as a group of 4 girls and didn’t experience any problems except for one catcalling but we were right in the center so I don’t know about the rural areas. The nightlife there is very much alive so that’s another reason for how safe it is there are people around at 3am. As for the nightclubs most of...

Belgrade was a very beautiful place. We stayed in the house of Boris Triunovic, whom we met on couchsurfing in Belgrade. He hosted us in a very loving way. He gave us information about Belgrade and its historical places. You can easily visit all local places in Belgrade on foot and by bus.

Belgrade is a wonderful city, full of life. I highly recommend trying out the Balkan cuisine. The places that impressed me the most and are worth visiting, were the restaurants in Skadarlija street and the "House of Flowers", which is Tito's mausoleum. I also visited Kalemegdan with a view of the Sava and Danube rivers, and the temple of St. Sava, which are probably the two most important symbols of Belgrade.

It’s a safe place, though as everywhere sometimes we have issues. But from my personal experience women are respected here and I didn’t have any danger coming from men for all the years I’ve lived here

Belgrade is popular touristic destination in Europe, known by it's night life and urban culture. It is big and crowded, but absolutely safe. I would mention the most important thing - people are open and communicative (everybody speaks english) and ready to help any time in any situation.

In general it's really safe. I go waking after dark alone, dressed up or not. Nothing ever happened. I would recomend avoiding protests, or keeping on the side. Lately they are more violent. Other than that keep your purse, bag closed in the public transport.

I think it is actually pretty safe city, no big crimes, there is on the other hand some of gypses who are robbing but people usually yell at them so it is rare cases. I have never been sexual assaulted and i have never seen any girl also. There is a looot of people who will protect girls from creeps

Safe in general but might not want to walk alone in shady places after midnight. Safe to walk on the streets, everyone will help you because we are like that. Safe to go out and party in general, nice places to go out.
