Is Croatia safe for solo female travelers?

Croatia is generally safe for solo female travelers offering a low crime rate. However, like anywhere, it's always important to stay vigilant, especially in crowded areas and at night. The locals are usually friendly and happy to help, but it's wise to avoid remote areas late at night. Basic precautions, such as using reputable transportation services, avoiding secluded places, and keeping your belongings secure will help ensure a stress-free visit.

Zivogosce, Family travel

amazing small town with a beautiful sea and beautiful people. me and my family went there and almost visit each year. the place is not overcrowded like the neighbour place of makarska. there are not many events as the town is very small, but sometimes the city organises dinners and pub concerts.

Dugi Otok, Solo travel

I randomly discovered Dugi Otok while in Zadar traveling alone. In March, most seafood restaurants are still closed, but there are delightful little cafes full of fishermen and retired people, a welcoming local library that acts as a meeting space for the community, small towns, gorgeous cliffs and nature. I loved staying at the island in between cities, you feel very far away from the mainland even though the ferry takes barely any time. Locals are happy to talk to you and help with finding the bus, for example.

Croatian Nobles Square, Family travel

We spent a week at Croatia. I liked it, we was near to the water. The people was friendly. We travelled to more beaches, and I really liked them. They was clear and beautiful. We saw little stores as well, and my favourite knife is from Croatia. I felt safe alone as well, I even talked with a german woman at the beach at night in the moonlight. It was magical.

Feel free to go out when you want, wearing what ever you want. Ofcourse, every woman will feel safer when they are in a group of friends or people but overall I really think that Croatia as a country is safer than most countries

Split

I live in Split for erasmus so i go at night a lot, usually in with other people but split really seen pretty safe, the most danger is probably the drunk people which could be here more in summer ( i live here only for 2 months so not sure about how it is in touristic season) but overall i would even go back from a club alone here so giving this place 3,5 stars safety in my head

It is a very safe place, you can go around at night safely. There are some creepy guys here and there, but for now I haven't heard any horror story from my friends nor they happened to me. I would suggest still having your guard up in the clubs.

About me

24 year old college student studying English and German from Split (Croatia) learning to love herself and trying out everything life has to offer including food, people, places, etc. My interestes are: cleaning, concerts, language learning, piercings and tattoos, shibari, manga and anime, working out, food and drinks. I have piercings(and planning on getting tattoos this December for my birthday), I'm Queer and 420 friendly. I'm a cat person and an ambivert. I like to go out and go crazy inside of a club like there's no tommorrow but I also like to stay inside and read manga or watch anime, some movie or a show/sitcom. I try to be as open as I can and broaden my horizons each day. When a problem occurs I try to resolve it asap since I like things running smoothly. If it's a problem between us as friends I see it as a chance to overcome difficulties and grow together as people. I love and appreciate honesty above everything else and am open to recieveing criticism in case I'm doing something incorrectly as long as you say it politely. 🧜🏻‍♀️🫧🌈
