How safe is Belgrade for female travelers?

Travel safety index

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 bioskop Zvezda" at the rooftop of the old cinemabuilding. We stayed in downtown until 11pm and took a taxi on the road back to our campground without any incidences.

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.

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.

Belgrade is usually a good town of you are worried about safety and behavior of people who live in the Belgrade. If you need any help to find a place to go, 90% of citizens at the street will gladly help you with that. Also, we have i would said a lot of tourists for not that popular European country. :)

It's pretty much safe - I live around center, never had any problems and I'm not scared to walk back home at 3pm, 3am, 7am :) Streets are calm, even if somebody passes they are probably just walking home as well
