based on 10 experiences from female travelers
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!

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

Ljubljana was the only place where I went and it felt like a home. The city is very beautiful and has a soul, people are kind, food is great, I recommend the place "Šeherzada" in the center of city. There you can get burger or kebab for 4-5€, big pizza is 8€, its really affordable and delicious. The city was quite expensive for me but I didn't spent that much, around 50-60€, I was there only for a day so can't recommend transport or place to stay ♡
Posted: March 31, 2024Experienced: February, 2024Ljubljana has a fantastic atmosphere and is worth visiting, at least during a trip around Slovenia. The city is quite small, with many medieval streets, as well as a castle hill, which offers a magnificent panorama. It's necessary to visit the bar on the top floor of the skyscraper, where you can indulge in drinks with a view of the entire city. It's also worth trying the Balkan burek, Slovenian gibanica, and super-sweet Hungarian chimney cakes that are perfect for posting on Instagram.
Posted: October 14, 2023In my opinion, Ljubljana can be easily skipped during a trip to Slovenia. I didn't see anything there that couldn't be found in other cities. The capital was the weakest part of my trip, but the rest of Slovenia is wonderful and definitely worth a visit.
Posted: October 13, 2023Certainly if you visit Slovenia, you should stop in Ljubljana, a charming city with several nice museums, but also take a day trip (or stay overnight) to Bled and walk around Bled Lake, it is stunning!!

Ljubljana is a very tame place, mostly folks at night are either chilling outside clubs or walking from one to the next, or they are rushing to their morning jobs. There are no no-go zones like in some bigger cities, and in general its pretty quiet at night.
Posted: April 22, 2025Very safe however you should always be very careful during the night because you never know who is going to be on the streets during the night. Nevertheless, Ljubljsna and Slovenia in general is a very safe place for women and kids.
