How safe is Novi Sad for solo female travelers?

Solo travel

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.

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?

About me

Hello, people! My name is Ivana, I am 27 years old and come from Serbia. I'm a student of Psychology (though kind of dragging it out with those last exams 🥲) and an ESL teacher Since I work from home, it was final time for me to start traveling a bit, so I decided to look into couchsurfing since I heard so many great experiences from friends who used it before. I believe it's not only about cutting down on expenses when it comes to accomodation - but building new friendships and experiences with locals/hosts, immersing with local culture and growing yourself with each new experience you get! 🤗🌱
