I spend an amazing week in Ljubljana, Slovenia with my friends. We explored the city, went to some bars, climbed to the castle. The atmosphere in the city is really cozy, it feels like a smaller version of Vienna:) People are super friendly, almost everyone knows English. I felt rather safe but I think it was also because I was never alone. So that might depend on if you're a solo traveler. Overall I really enjoyed the trip and definitely recommend visiting Ljubljana!

Slovenia was such a friendly place where even in the remote location we stayed which was 1600 metre up the mountain I felt safe. Local attractions such as the Savica waterfall was majestic and a good little hike to see it. I tried paragliding,, visited Lake bohinj and Lake Bled (my favourite). Stunning views and lots of excellent restaurants to suit varied tastes. The whole trip including accommodation, flights, food, trips, excursions and hire car was £3400.

Slovenia is by far one of the safest countries, especially for solo female travelers. Reason; well, basically barely anyone around and people leave each other alone, but will help you when you ask. I visited Ljubljana and went to an abandoned hotel, which was super cool. Then I went to Kranj, stayed in a hostel with view on nature and visited Lake bled!! You can walk through cities, but if you wanna visit other towns you should use Flixbus, Train or Arriva Bus. Super underrated country, nature was 10/10 and it is cheap

I traveled with my 2 other female friends and it was one of the safest places Ive ever been. The locals are so friendly and welcoming. You can walk in anytime of the day without any worries. Transportation is amazing. You can hire a bike all over the city and everywhere is a ride away. I highly recommend to experience the city without any worries
Posted: July 10, 2024I visited Bled during corona time which meant the city was quite calm and tourist free, which might not be the case now. Nevertheless it’s a lovely small town to visit! I recommend to take the time to just stroll around the lake and admire the views to the mountains, lake. Take a hike up to Ojstrica mountain top to enjoy breathtaking views! If you have time, go and see Soteska Vintgar gorge. To gain back energy, pamper yourself with local sweet delicacy which is called kremsnita cake. All in all I felt very safe in Bled! Great for a solo day travel or spend some more days there.
Posted: June 7, 2024I absolutely loved Slovenia (though we only were in Ljubljana and I can’t wait to see other parts of the country) People were super nice to us and I didn’t feel unsafe at all There is so many cute things to do in Ljubljana (can’t remember the name but there is a squatt that is so cool too)

It's the most amazing country I have been to yet! I felt so safe, the people were absolutely lovely 😍 The views were insane, the water was so blue! There was so much to see, and I just loved every minute of it 💗
Posted: April 17, 2024Experienced: February, 2024I visited Ljubljana first, and then I stayed in a hostel near Lake Bled, setting out each day to explore Bohinj, Vintgar Gorge, and Bled. The people are incredibly friendly. I felt completely safe at all times, even though I didn't really venture out in the evenings. Overall, it was an amazing trip. If you love natural beauty and hiking, add Slovenia to your wish list.
Posted: January 1, 2024I spent 18 days alone in Slovenia and felt very safe. I stayed in Ljubljana for 3 nights, then rented a car and went to Lake Bled, then to Lake Bohinj, Kranjska Gora, Bovec, to the coast to Piran, and back to Ljubljana, with many stops along the way. I met the kindest people and saw some of the most beautiful landscapes.
Posted: December 28, 2023One of the safest and most friendly countries I have visited in Europe, plus it's relatively cheap and not as crowded as other main "tourist" attractions. We stayed in Bled and visited the Vintgar Gorge, and I also spent a night in Ljubljana and made a day trip to the caves in Postojna and Predjama Castle. Both of these cities can be explored on foot, and in Ljubljana, I used the TaxiMetro app when needed. As a solo female, I felt very safe there.

Growing up here until the age of 20 Slovenia is generally safe, and I never in my life had a moment where I felt unsafe. Even after dark, it is okay for me to walk around although there is not many people around at night.

It's a safe city. If you keep to the main streets at night, there is no much danger. Public transport is safe to use at any time. The only thing to avoid is groups of immigrants, which are becoming more frequent and they are not well adapted yet.

I travelled there alone and it was really amazing ! It is a very crowded place in the summer but my stay still was relaxing and peacefull. I stayed at Pr Močn wich is a really small hostel that I really recommend. It's cheap, really close to the lake and it feels like home. I met so many nice people there ! The main attraction is the lake where you can do kayak, stand up paddle, a boat tour... You can go on the little island in the middle of the lake, where you can find a little church to visit and a really nice place to get ice cream. There are also a lot of hiking trail around there. So if you love nature and calm it's an amazing place to go !
Posted: July 25, 2024Experienced: June, 2023It’s a cozy and cheap but gorgeous version of Switzerland. Highly recommend spending a week of two to explore all regions by car or camper etc. People are mostly chill but not particularly cheerful or nice.
