Novi Sad is a great place to visit, both for evening walks along the Danube River and for relaxing on the sandy beach during the day. The locals are also very nice, and many people speak English very well.

Novi Sad is a very safe city. Lived here for 10 years, walked around during the day and also night, no problem. Especially in the city center, there are usually people around (that is a good thing). City don't really have any specific unsafe areas.

I would say it's almost perfectly safe. We don't have pickpockets like the rest of the Europe. And I remember going back home alone around 1pm when I was like 14 yo, and I felt safe. I live 40mins walking from the city center, but it's still ok.

It's pretty safe. But like in another large city there in some parts of town that are not safe. You can safely use public transport. Sometimes drunk person will tell you something to you, but you just ignore it. There a lots of good people who are willing to help with everything. They even will walk with you if you can't find a place where you're going to. People are very friendly.

When i was working night shifts. It was pretty chill to go at 1:00A.M home by walk. There werent many ppl, but just stick to the streets that have cameras and lights. I had a couple of times when old dudes called me dumb names, just bcs i was going to the party tho. But overall i would say its pretty safe?

I have been living here for 5 years and I have never had any negative experiences. I believe it is quite safe. The only thing that comes to my mind would be Friday and Saturday nights in the city center when there can be a lot of drunk people who could say something unpleasant.
Posted: August 8, 2024It's pretty safe, even at night. I wouldn't recommend going alone at night, but the worse that happened to me was someone honking while I was crossing the road. Some guys could stop you to ask for an instagram handle or number, but honestly, that's pretty rare, only at crowded areas at night.
