Piestany is relatively safe for solo female travelers even at night. However, like every other city, it is necessary to stay vigilant, especially after dark. The majority of the town is well-lit and people are generally friendly and courteous. Public transportation or use of taxi services is recommended when traveling at night.

Is Piestany safe for women?

I love my hometown. Piešťany is a spa city filled with a lot of cafes where people like to hang out. I believe this city has the potential to be more appealing to tourists and locals as there are a lot of people trying to organize events and stuff. Definitely recommend visiting this city during some traditional festivals. When it comes to safety, it's quite safe, but I do have to add that I was not that much into the club scene, so I can't talk about that experience here. My favorite coffee spots: Concept (in Arta center) Mlynček (under Kolonáda and close to the cinema Fontána) It's a nice city to relax and do some cycling and kayaking
