Travel Safety in Slovenia

Overview

Slovenia is generally safe. Petty crime is not a common occurrence, but when it does occur it is usually reported in in Ljubljana and other cities. Theft from vehicles, however, is a concern throughout the country. There have also been a few incidents of sexual assault, particularly at night clubs.

There have been no significant incidents of terrorism in Slovenia, but like other countries in the Schengen area, the possibility of a terrorist attack can’t be ruled out completely.

Demonstrations occasionally take place in Ljubljana, but are predominantly peaceful.

There is no major concern relating to conflict and kidnapping.

Medical facilities in Ljubljana and other larger urban centres are of a good standard, but services are limited elsewhere.
