I think Szczecin is really safe place. I usually walked in late at night and there was no problem. Other than that, I don't know if it was because I stayed around the university, but I didn't feel uncomfortable or unsafe.
Posted: October 27, 2024Well polish people don't really care what u are up to . Also there are security cameras literally everywhere so you don't need to worry about ur safety . I usually go out around 3 am and still feel good to walk around .

Generally I'd say it is quite safe. I'd be more cautious around Praga district and not go there alone when it's dark, especially if you don't know the area. Be cautious around the central train station too, in the Śródmieście there can be some shady people, but I don't see dangerous situations often. If you're interested in the old town, usually there aren't huge crowds and I've never felt unsafe there.
Posted: October 21, 2024In krakow during the day i would say that the atmosphere is generally cool and you can walk around in the evening be careful to be accompanied, there are a lot of young people because it is a very student city (Erasmus) and with alcohol people become very dangerous
Posted: October 17, 2024I think Wrocław is quite safe, I've been walking around the city at night a lot, and hardly anything happened. Of course, you need to be caucious with pickpocketers and sketchy people, but as you would do anywhere else.
Posted: October 16, 2024Mielec is very safe it’s a small town where there is not a lot of crime but polish people are reserved in general, the area of the city is not big and I never had problems walking there in night but I also know polish

We dony have to hide bags in public transport to avoid robbery, at night is generally safe, in some events there are more police officers, you can order Uber for women for more safety (most of drivers are foreign).
Posted: October 12, 2024Warsaw is quite safe town (as all Poland), I live there since years and I feel very safe here. Also I met a few solo female travelers here and as far as I know they all felt safe and never been in denger here.

Warsaw is very clean and safe city. Very good transportation. I truly recommend for staying. Very nice and safe place for night life as well as culture life. Excellent restaurants and bar. Still cheaper than other European capital and the quality is excellent

Sosnowiec is actually pretty safe because there are not many rappers and robbers. I would say and especially as the girl living here I wasn’t raped or catcalled. Even during the night times, I feel pretty safe to walk alone.

In the spring of 2024, I was in Krakow, Poland. I liked the country; the food was good, and the people were nice. The weather was pleasant too. I visited shopping centers, museums, and parks. I enjoyed this trip a lot.
Posted: October 14, 2024My experience in Poland was very good. I met a few solo travelers there and we hiked together. There were halal food as well although it’s a little bit expensive for me but overall, it’s a good experience. The public transport is very easy to access but it’s a bit hard to communicate with locals since they’re not that good English. Overall, the country is very pretty.
