Robberies and petty theft

Robberies do occur, but most of it is opportunistic and petty such as pickpocketing and purse-snatching.

Like anywhere else, it pays to have your wits about you when walking in crowded, tourist areas or taking public transport and carrying large backpacks or expensive cameras. Not that you need to be concerned with your belongings in Slovenia, it's just common sense to keep your belongings on you at all times.

Pay extra attention to your surroundings when you are in crowded areas, such as popular tourist destinations. Avoid putting your phone or wallet in the back pocket, which is a really easy place for thieves to grab your possessions.

Car break-ins

Vehicle break-ins and theft are not uncommon, but this is mostly due to people leaving belongings in the back seat of cars in plain sight.

If you can't secure your rental car in a hotel or secure parking garage, park in a well-lit area with plenty of pedestrian traffic.

Use anti-theft devices whenever possible and don't leave valuables in sight.

Taxis in Slovenia

In general, most taxis are clean and safe, and the local drivers are honest and reliable.

However, there have been reports that taxi drivers operating at the airport or main railway stations in Ljubljana are overcharging tourists. Always ask about the rate before getting in, and insist the driver use the meter.

You do not need an International Driving Permit to drive here for periods up to 90 days.

• Don't block or walk in the bike lanes - cities have well-developed bicycling networks with marked lanes and many rules governing cycling.
