I think it’s pretty safe but there’s always a chance of something happening like in every other city, people are mostly nice and respectful but there’s some that might be a bit troublesome, in the end i would recommend

Krakow

Kraków is quite a safe city. There are some parts such as Nowa Huta that are better to stay away after dark, but aside from that it is very safe. In the city centre there is always a lot of people, just be careful to be where the people are.

Rzyki

Our village is safe, you can freely walk or bike Even at night. And get free rolls from bakery! Only problem is that a lot of strat dogs are running in the area. The shop assistants are nice and sometimes you meet drunk people on the road, but theyre not dangerous

Gdansk

Gdańsk is a safe city where you can walk alone easily. I don't walk alone at night but I think it's better to be in a group after 10 pm - anyway many things will be closed at this time. Sometimes be careful in the public transport or areas around Orunia/Nowy Port but those are not touristic areas.

Warsaw

It’s a very safe space even after sundown, i don’t feel threatened in the city center or anywhere near it. The suburbs are a bit more dangerous though, so if you plan on visiting nearby cities you should check with locals for advise!

Is Poland worth visiting?

Travel rating

4.7 /5

based on 180 experiences from female travelers

Wroclaw, Group travel

A random guy followed us. We were really afraid. I think he was a homeless guy. We delibaretly went into a church to get rid of him. But when we went outside after almost ten minutes, he was still there.

Wroclaw, Solo travel

Wroclaw is a beautiful city! The Cathedral Island is definitely worth seeing. The city center has such cute buildings and it is a nice place to sit and take in the beauty. Also the little gnomes everywhere are adorable!
