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.

Pszów

overall its safe but its easy to get catcalled by drunk men, id be scared to walk here at night but in the daylight its okay (on the main streets). my main advice is to avoid the private garage areas

Gdansk

I live and Gdańsk and I can say that it is one of the safest cities I’ve been in Europe. You can go out easily alone at night and feel safe & no one should approach you if you don’t want to. Also no pickpockets

Wroclaw

I think Wrocław is one of the safest cities in Poland. It has good public transportation, so you don't need to take taxis or Ubers, and people are very nice. If you don't provoke anyone, there shouldn't be any problems.
