Quite small town. Very safe for travelers. I would avoid going running by the river after dark as there are only few lights, but during the day everything is fine. The local small woods is good for a walk but there are no lights, so I would avoid that place if I was alone. Overall this is very safe town.

Piešťany are a beautiful, small spa town that is very safe. The people here are friendly and alcohol is cheap 😂 If you happen to lose something, there’s a high chance you’ll never see it again, but at least no one here will steal things from your hands like in other big cities.
