Is Zilina safe for solo female travelers?

It’s fairly safe here, but you can’t completely ignore the possibility of encountering Roma people who might snatch something from you, offend you, hit you, or do something else. Overall, Slovakia has very friendly people, and in Žilina, incidents don’t happen very often. At least, nothing has ever happened to me — no one has stolen from me or hurt me in the three years I’ve been here, and, in general, I consider Žilina to be a fairly safe city. That said, you should be cautious of the Roma, but they are present throughout Slovakia, so it’s something to keep in mind.

if you stay in public parts of the city with a bunch of people around its safe, but i would be careful in the dark in less crowded places. I have never personally experienced anything serious but you can never be too safe.

Žilina is overall safe and peaceful city. There has been incidents yet despite them, most of the locals are normal… maybe a bit grumpy but not in a threatening way. There are weirdos everywhere, but if you usually look at them angrily or tell them to piss off, they let you be. I’ve been living here sinice birth and I’d like to live in a city like this when I get older.

I have been living in Žilina my whole life. I think it is like any other city in middle/eastern Europe. If you go late at night you will encounter creep but mostly they do not pay attention to you. During the day I feel 100% safe and would recommend visiting my city
