Krakow, Solo travel
Krakow is great. The Jewish quarter is beautiful, full of street art, unique shops and beautiful little bars. The salt mines nearby are pretty amazing, and a trip to Zakopane can't be missed. Look round the old town and market square, eat Pierogi every chance you get, and try Polish cider, and Zurek soup, its deliscious!

I'm studying here. Very pretty city, I feel really safe. I've been here 7 months now and had no problems so far. There are organized many attractions, seasonal such as a Christmas Market etc. There is an opera here as well.

Łódź is moderately safe in my opinion, most incidents happen between two groups of football fans as Łódź have two main teams and they don’t like each other. So if anyone is bothering you with question “who is your favorite team” just try to ignore it. Of course for girls it would be better to come back home with some company especially at night but public transport is rather safe, but it might be late

In general Warsaw is very safe, usually you can move around at night and nothing will happen to you, I feel very safe going home alone even at night. You should be careful though especially in the Praga Północ district. It's not as dangerous as it used to be, but you can still encounter some weird people there under influence of alcohol/other substances and the vibe on some streets is still not great.

Very safe city, sometimes you may see some drunk football fans especially arpund Bobrek and Karb, or drunk homeless people, or teenagers. It's important to not interactive witam these people, they are usually harmless unless provoked

In general I think it’s pretty safe but there are some places to avoid I think the main one is Praga - północ but in the night. In general you’ll see a lot of strange people in praga but in the day it’s okay no one should bother you but at night I would avoid it but also if you’ll end up there in the night you should just be more aware of your surroundings and that’s all. Also i recommend for going out Nowy Świat because there’s always something going on so there’s a lot of people = safer....
