Dubrovnik is considered one of the safest cities in Europe, making it a confident choice for travellers. While crime is low, petty theft and pickpocketing can occur, so it's wise to remain vigilant and take normal precautions. Avoiding connecting to unknown Wi-Fi networks, using trusted transportation, and being aware of your surroundings can help you have a worry-free visit.
For solo travellers, Dubrovnik is a safe destination, with welcoming locals and plenty of sights to explore independently. Neighbourhoods like Babin Kuk, the Old Town, and Lapad are recommended for their safety and amenities. Public transportation, such as buses, is a reliable way to navigate the city, but be cautious when waiting at stops, especially at night.
