Group travel

I live in Vienna and did a day trip to Bratislava recently. I loved the city! My group and I went straight to Old Town and spent our entire day there. We saw some of the more popular spots, like St Michael’s Gate, and then we went to the museum in the Old Town Hall. The museum had so many items on display, and we climbed to the top to get a view beautiful view of the city! The cost of the museum was €8 per person, but they also offer a lot of discounts (student, senior, etc) that bring the cost...

A small city, good for a city break. One day was enough for me to see the sights. In my opinion, it's safe, but at stations, stops, and on buses, I was sometimes approached by homeless people. When they heard I didn't speak their language, they left me alone. Great local wine.

I felt pretty safe in Bratislava during the day but less at night, especially around the Centrum bus station and the Obchodná street. So, I will recommend you to go out with other people and not alone in this city. I really like the Devin Castle with beautiful landscape of nature, very relaxing. I enjoyed a lot too the city Center and the view from the castle and muzeum mesta bratislavy I will recommend the spot “Pasteleria” for the coffee time

I never had a bad incident in this city. I am not saying nothing bad every happens here but I feel like its mostly safe. Just keep your personal things close especially on the evening in more crowded areas and avoid going through weird plces at night time alone.

In the city centre there’s a high probability to see people under the influence. Some homeless men are too. But they are chill and not aggressive. If you come to Bratislava by bus, I would recommend to go until the stop Bus Station “Mlinsky Nivy” (under the central mall, where all FlixBus and other companies are), because its located in the mall, there’s a lot of security, light and toilets

i’ve lived here for 5 years and i feel safe walking alone in the evening or at night, did that a lot of times, basic precautions should be taking into account though. i would recommend trying to stay out of dark, “dead” areas at night, not talking to strangers and of course not getting into anyone’s car unless it’s a taxi (i personally am anxious and i don’t like taking taxis alone, but we have a lot of buses and trams circulating around the city almost all the time so it’s a great option too)....
