How safe is Ljubljana for solo female travelers?

Travel safety index

Love Ljubljana! It is a very beautiful and young city. It is very easy to connect and meet other solo travelers and make great experiences with each other. The local food is alright, but not suited for vegetarians. But I felt very safe as a woman :)

I didn't know that I needed a vacay in this city till I had it! After one year, I still cant get over THE VIBES! I'm ecstatic how safe this city felt, especially after living in many western european cities for the last 5 years. The old town is just amazing: the Cankarjevo Nabrezje, the Triple Bridge, the Dragon Bridge, are all musts that one cannot miss. Lots of shops with dragon-souvenirs and interesting thrift stores with variety. With my partner we did the Escape from Ljubljana Castle which was super fun and well organized. In general the prices are not expensive, ut depends on one's...

Not Ljubljana, in general, the whole Slovenian country is safe. As myself, I love to explore the city and new food also, so I recommend that! Slovenians have very good pizza in the center of Ljubljana and I loved the cocktails too! If you want to try many things in the center of Ljubljana while you travel, you should have a budget of 300-400 euro just for yourself for 5 or 7 days let’s say. I stayed in a rented apartment which my friend is living, she is studying in Ljubljana. I purchased a ticket for a few days to use the bus, I was close to the center, so I didn’t really use it tho.

When I travelled to Ljubljana, I thought it is a beautiful city full of nature and quite cheap. How surprised I was, when I discovered there is no cheap transportation between city and nature and I cannot reach any peaceful, natural place on foot

You can walk safely on the streets by your own, even during the night. You can take taxis or uber. Slovenians mostly speak english or some other foreign language and are happy to help foreign people.

I feel like overall, it's very safe, yes, especially at night, I've never felt particularly unsafe. You may get harassed by men on a rare occasion. Unfortunately, I believe that's a norm in every city around the world.

If you want to be safe in Ljubljana, visit it especially during the day, never, or at least if you stay in Ljubljana after midnight. Using public transport is very safe, there is no need to be afraid. People are very friendly and happy to help you. Despite the fact that Slovenia is a very safe country, it is not superfluous to keep an eye on your belongings and check who you hang out with.

I think Ljubljana is pretty safe. If you’re a woman it’s probably safest for you to transport yourself with a bike or a bus or an Uber. There is a subculture of teenage boys and younger men who tend to harrass non-basic looking people on the streets but other than that it’s pretty peaceful and safe.
