Ljubljana, Slovenia
10 uncomfortable travel moments most of us run into at some point. Our guide shows you exactly how to respond to each one, so you never blank when it matters. Used by women from 50+ countries.
Student area with budget bars, cafes, and restaurants on Eipprova Street. Active nightlife without being overwhelming. Cheaper and more local than the tourist center.
Trnovo is the student and young professional area south of the city center. Tree-lined streets and riverside paths, mix of old and new buildings. Eipprova Street has the bars and cafes that fill up when students finish classes and locals get off work. You'll hear Slovenian and English mixed together. Lots of people sitting alone studying or working in cafes. The nightlife is active but not crazy - Sax Pub has graffiti all over it, Nostalgija Vintage Cafe is decorated with old stuff, Cirkus Club for dancing. Cheaper than the Old Town, which is why budget travelers and students hang out here. Quiet during the day, busy evenings especially Thursday to Saturday. Safe at night, usually people on the streets going to or from bars. English is less common here than the tourist center, but bar staff and younger people speak it.

Areas with comparable safety profiles for solo female travelers
A former fishing village ten minutes from the Old Town with cottages, gardens, and a few good traditional restaurants. Quiet and residential with an artistic community. Dead in the evenings.
The Old Town is car-free baroque streets along the river with cafes and restaurants. Very safe, easy to navigate on foot, normal to dine alone. The main tourist area with the most English speakers.
Former military barracks turned alternative cultural center with street art, underground music clubs, and LGBTQ+ venues. Grittier than other neighborhoods. Interesting during the day, edgy at night.
