The district with the most recorded crime in Zagreb, and the only one clearly moving the wrong way: 1,274 criminal offences in 2025, up 16.3% on the year, in the Zagreb Police Administration's annual security report. It is post-war housing south of the Sava — Siget, Trnsko, Remetinec — with the Zagreb Fair and the Arena at its edge, and it is not a district visitors have reason to be in. Zagreb overall is a calm city; this is where its numbers are.

Search accommodation here on Booking.com →
Booking.com has no separate search area for this neighbourhood, so this link searches the whole city rather than just this area.
This rating comes from a structured local-source assessment. This specific area was reviewed against credible local sources — local and national news, municipal and police-published material, and official surveys where they exist — and the signals were consolidated across sources rather than taken from any single report, with the reasoning and the sources shown above. Zagreb publishes no comparable neighbourhood-level crime dataset; where a city does publish one, Wandroz uses it instead of an assessment. Where a review finds nothing documented, that is recorded as no findings rather than as a safety rating.
