How safe is Poland for women?

I travelled alone to many cities in Poland and I always felt very safe. I was never worried about something bad happening to me. In bigger cities there are some neighborhoods that can be a little unsafe but they are never near hotels or tourist atractions

It is very safe to travel, people are not rude and don't cause problems on the streets. There is no need to be worried on public transport, taxi or while walking around the city. Often they are happy to help whey you ask them about the directions ect.

At night, the dark streets are safe, but drunk people are everywhere. They are sometimes a little insistent on asking for money, but other than that, no one bothers you. People don't really care what you do

It's quite safe here, except for animals like dogs. I am generally scared of the possibility of being bitten by a dog, but I haven't experienced something like that. Thank God :) People are safe enough here. I can go anywhere without a doubt.

Solo travel experience

I spent 6 weeks in Poland. It was beautiful and very safe. I was alone everywhere, from the Masuria region to Zakopane. It's very easy to get around Poland, and the people are very nice. Their public transportation is great, and Uber is very reasonably priced.

I was in Warsaw and Krakow and I liked it very much. Great food and drinks. I used the Viator app to book walking tours. I also did a lot of walking on my own. I also went to Auschwitz for a one-day trip. Things there were also cheap.

Solo travel experience

Last summer, I went to Poland alone, using InterRail. I really enjoyed it and couldn't understand why I hadn't gone there earlier. The people were friendly, and there was always someone who spoke English and wanted to help. I found the prices to be very reasonable. It was nice to walk among the buildings, often a mixture of new and old. Great urban squares with lots of people outside and pleasant temperatures.
