Slovenia is partly Alpine, partly Mediterranean country, squeezed between Italy, Austria, Hungary, and Croatia. Its small territory, occupying only about half of Switzerland, is located halfway between Vienna and Venice, in the heart of Europe. For those who have not yet visited it, the question arises whether it is safe for travel. Let’s see.
The country gained independence in 1991, after a short 10-day war of independence against the military forces of the former Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. The small but export-oriented economy quickly progressed and stood on its feet after the collapse of the system in former Yugoslavia. In 2004, it joined the European Union and NATO, and later the Schengen border area. In 2007, it adopted the euro currency (previously, we used a currency called the tolar). Slovenia is home to approximately 2 million people.
According to statistical data, Slovenia is a VERY safe country. Let’s see what the sources say about this.
The website gomio.com states that Slovenia is safer than Switzerland and Austria. They say, “the crime rate is low, making it extremely safe for travelers, even for night walks.”
According to the World Safety Index, Slovenia ranks 11th, placing it among the safest countries.
The website travelsafe-abroad.com ranks Slovenia among the safest countries in the world. It categorizes safety factors as follows:
