12 Cities Solo Female Travelers Can Trust — Cities That Actually Score High on the Global Index

7. Ljubljana, Slovenia — compact capital with pedestrian-first design

Ljubljana’s small scale and pedestrianized center make it easier for solo female travelers to navigate safely on foot. Slovenia’s standing on peace and safety indices, combined with a visible tourist police presence in central areas, contributes to a positive traveler experience. The Old Town is walkable and well-lit, and main attractions cluster within a short distance of each other. Tip 1: Book accommodation in or near the pedestrian center to reduce the need for late transit. Tip 2: Use licensed taxis from official stands if you plan an after-hours return. Tip 3: Keep a copy of your lodging address in the local language in case you need to ask for directions. Women-focused services: The city’s tourist information centers provide immediate assistance and local emergency contacts geared to visitors. (Sources: travel reporting; country indices.)
