I stayed in the city centre, it was safe and very lively and it was the weekend. The people were super nice and friendly. The city center is small but beautiful and if you choose acomodation in the city centre everything is in a walking distance.

My first solo experience! Wonderful! I always felt safe, and never experienced any bad/annoying/disturbing situation. Beautiful city to walk and discover. People are so lovely and kind. During the winter is magic.

I live in Vienna and did a day trip to Bratislava recently. I loved the city! My group and I went straight to Old Town and spent our entire day there. We saw some of the more popular spots, like St Michael’s Gate, and then we went to the museum in the Old Town Hall. The museum had so many items on display, and we climbed to the top to get a view beautiful view of the city! The cost of the museum was €8 per person, but they also offer a lot of discounts (student, senior, etc) that bring the cost...

I took part in a group trip in the beautiful mountains in Slovakia. It was really worth it! I swam through the Dunajec River, which was a great experience, even tho my arms were hurting after. Would recommend everyone!

Zilina
I think Žilina is very safe, but you need to watch out because there are some gypsies and homeless people, but they are usually harmless. But later in the dark its more scary to walk outside because there are not a lot of people there…

Košice is safe, but there are a few people at the train station who may talk to you if you give them a cigarette or some money, but they will never hurt you. Otherwise, nothing dangerous is happening anywhere.

Bratislava Old town is pretty safe. Also parts like Bratislava Nové mesto or Ružinov. But parts of Bratislava like Vrakuňa or Podunajské biskupice are very unsafe during night but also day. Bars and shopping centres are okey. Sometimes there might be drunk stupid people but overall its okay.

It is pretty safe in compared to other capital cities. I would advise to not visit Vrakuňa or Petržalka alone after dark but as long as you stay in popular areas such as Old town, you should not be in danger.
