I really enjoyed hitchhiking in Slovakia. I crossed the country from east to west and felt very welcomed everywhere. Bratislava has crazy nightlife, you definitely don't wanna miss this city. I've stayed in Wild Elephants hostel and that is just a crazy place!
Posted: December 29, 2024Experienced: June, 2024I love Košice, but there are some dark places. If you are not local or with someone that knows the town very well, I would not recommend exploring side streets, because a lot of time u can meet there junkies or just some very weird people. The city is known for its beautiful square but also for that there are a lot of junkies. But otherwise it is safe to hang out on the main street and other popular places.
Posted: December 24, 2024Experienced: January, 2023First of all, I would like to say that it is a very safe place for solo travel. Prices are not too high compared to other European cities. Their most famous dish is similar to halusky niyokki. you can try. Slavin, Slovak National Gallery, Blue Church, Bratislava Castle, Devin Castle are the places you should definitely go. 2 days will be enough to visit the whole city. It was pretty easy to find the buses with google maps. local people were very helpful. They generally know English. In summary, it is a place where you can go and see, but you should not keep expectatiın very high.
Posted: July 15, 2024Experienced: May, 2024It’s really safe for solo traveler to travel in their capital city, there’s not much things to do in Bratislava, I recommend to take a bus 20mins to a small town , there is a meditation circle on the hill of the town which is really amazing!

Bratislava, Slovakia 🇸🇰 As a solo traveler, I think it's a safe city and prices are reasonable whether it's the food, coffee, or the tickets in general. 🩵 I have visited two restaurants and for €10 you can get a very nice quality of meals. Less than €3 can get you a nice quality and quantity of latte or cappuccino.
Posted: January 30, 2024Experienced: February, 2023I spent 2 days in Bratislava and that was enough for me. I visited Devín Castle in the first half of the day, and then I went to the center - Hrad, the Old Town, and covered all the major landmarks. The next day I went to see St. Elizabeth's Church, it was built from blue stone and looked amazing. It is located a bit off the beaten path, so I went there another day (after the main landmarks). I also combined this with a visit to Rusovce Castle, which offers beautiful views and has a large park.
Posted: May 28, 2023I was in Bratislava last month. Charming city, small, but there's plenty to do. However, it's not the best place for nightlife.
Posted: May 24, 2023Bratislava was nice and I felt safe. I stayed for one night and felt that was enough. I recommend a trip to Devín Castle.
Posted: May 21, 2023Bratislava is not too big, not too crowded, has a nice old town, a castle, and several very good museums, which are not big enough to get bored there. Amazing views of the Danube. There are many inexpensive restaurants, tasty food, and good beer and wine. I felt very safe there. I visited Devín Castle on a hill, located at the confluence of the Morava and Danube, a picturesque place.
Posted: May 20, 2023Bratislava is a rather small and pedestrian-friendly city. I visited it in one day. I stayed there in a hostel and it was quite okay. I felt safe.

Overally I think it's pretty safe place, the only problem might be some of the residents or the wild animals in near villages since it's a place in mountains. If you want to stay here I don't think there is any further safety problem
Posted: March 21, 2025It’s a nice city, throughout the day it’s safe, I would say that if you have darker skin you can get looks, being with Slovak can be better for you for sure, lots of night bars and overall it’s pretty chill.

Traveling the world, seeing new places, meeting new people and discovering new tastes has been my life. Now I am on my way to make this dream come true. So far, I have visited 20 countries with my carefully designed economic tours. I am excited to see more places and meet more people.

Hi! You can call me Tori but my full name is Viktoria. I am up to (almost) anything and I love sharing cultures, stories and our valuable time as a human beings. Recently I started bouldering, I love hitchhiking (but I am too shy to go alone) (and also I am introverted at heart, so going with some extrovert is the best for me😎). Currently studying art and design (so if you’re up to some nerdy talk about buildings or fine arts you know I am the right person) but I also read a lot about feminism, psychology or classics (if it’s time). I don’t mind a hike, but what I truly love is a good coffee and warm weather (but in the end, I am up to almost everything!)
