Katowice, Solo travel

Overall, it was a very nice experience. I arrived very early in the morning, so it was still dark, but the city felt safe and calm. The streets were quiet and peaceful. I walked around until midday and people were kind, relaxed, and helpful. One person even stopped to chat with me, which made the experience feel very welcoming.

Wroclaw is really safe no matter what time but obviously it’s better to watch out really late in the weekends bc of homeless people or drunk people in the center. Still is very safe tho they usually either look at you or say something and leave you alone after, in all my 5 years of living here as a hijabi muslim Ive only had 1 incident where someone was shouting at me and believe me Ive been around the city (if side eyes or looks bother you then you will get a bit upset ab that but i see it as...
