We felt really safe. We stayed each day in a different accommodation and without fail everyone was very nice and helpful. I recommend checking out the capital, it's really charming and easy to check out as it is pretty small compared to other European capitals. And of course there's Bled, which is breathtaking. I highly recommend 3-4 days in the area of the national park, there's just so many beautiful things to see and so many fun things to do. Piran is another beauty of Slovenia I wouldn't mind visiting again! As for transportation, each time I visited the country it was always by car. It is very easy to get around by cars. I'd however recommend planning beforehand and booking the accomodations in advance. It was hard to find something for the same night especially around the national park area.
Posted: September 11, 2024Experienced: June, 2022I 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.

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 !

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, 2024It’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.
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)

Overall I’d say Ljubljana is safe. It is very much safer than a lot of Europe countries, yet nowdays the crime and sexual harrasment is increasing sadly. But honestly I do feel safe myself. More through the day than night for sure, and knowing some marshal arts and having safety precautions plays a big role in it.

I'm Julia and I come from Poland, but I'm currently doing an Erasmus Internship in Ljubljana. I'm a theoretical physics student, planning to be a scientist. I love broadly understood culture - from reading books, through movies and tv shows, to theatre and music. That's why I love traveling so much, as it is a great opportunity to experience different cultures.

Hello, I’m Nina from Slovenia! A bit about me: I come from a big family with four siblings and a lot of cousins, which means I’ve always been surrounded by people. I’ve lived in several countries, including Sweden, the Netherlands, and France (I was au-pair), which has sparked my love for travel and exploring new places. I’m very flexible, organized, active, and hardworking. I’m also a big fan of nature, sports, and spending quality time with friends. Cooking and baking are some of my favorite things to do, and I enjoy learning about new cultures through food. So I would love for you to experience my country. There's so much to see here, from the beautiful landscapes to the rich culture, and I truly believe you would enjoy it. If you're ever interested in visiting, I would be more than happy to be your guide. I'd love to show you around, introduce you to local spots, and make sure you get the most out of your time here.

Hey 😊 Amidst of finding myself, i'm learning to improve my social skills and would love for meeting more people and experience something new. I love traveling, learning, improving, have a thing for languages and am most probably as obssessed with discovering the new as 5 year olds are with dinousaurs 🫣 Very pet friendly, and a biker 🏍
