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.

solo trip to krakow.. such a beautiful city.. i spent a lot of time in the jewish quarter – loved the street art, the little cafés and the whole atmosphere.. the food was amazing too.. it was winter, so a bit cold, but honestly the city still felt warm in its own way.. would totally go again

Warsaw is one of the calmest capital i have ever been. Felt so safe. It’s not that much expensive as well. People are friendly and public transportation is also cheap as compared to other European countries.

My third time in Zakopane - this time with my mom and more for mountains, less for rest. My legs were dead after 6 hours in Hala Gąsienicowa and even more after Dolina Kościeliska. Weather was amazing, lots of people but still comfortable. Food soooo good! I mostly tried polish foods - żurek in bread recommended! My mom loved pierogi (without an s!) If you're looking for hotel there, I can send you a link for Booking.com as I don't remember the name now. We had amazing view for Giewont, balcony and peace for a really low price (Almost nothing!)

I've lived in Poznań for the past 5 years and never had any unsafe situations! I walk a lot, even at night/after going out (there are night buses and ubers, i just love the feeling of the city being way emptier after working hours+get crazy motion sickness so avoid transportation in general) and always feel safe, but if you're anxious Id always reccomend listening to your gut and getting in that uber, safety first! Honestly I've never even heard of anyone getting pick pocketed but ofc Id advise to stay aware in crowded spaces as that can really happen anywhere! I mostly party at queer...

I live here my whole live and to be honest I consider it really safe. The safe level that allows to go on a walk in the middle of the night. Of course as everywhere you might meet some suspicious types but they are rather just existing and USUALLY do not approach. Safe travels you all...

Poznań is generally a very safe city. I feel completely secure here. The police are always patrolling and maintaining order, and the streets are well monitored. The only caution is at night in the city center- there can be groups of drunk people, so it’s better to stay aware and avoid risky situations. Otherwise, life in Poznań is calm, and I’ve never had any problems.

I think it’s pretty safe but as everywhere you have to be careful when you’re alone at night somewhere because you never know what people are thinking. But nothing bad ever happend to me. Just know your surroundings.

Tczew
Tczew is overall a safe city. There are really few accidents. Bus as allways and anywhere caution is allways reccomended. It' not that big of a city but public transport is free for everyone and quite well extensive.
