Bydgoszcz, Solo travel
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.

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.

Very safe city, during the day I would say there are no unsafe areas, during the night maybe some specific districts, but without any extremum. I can recommend it to every girl who want to start with solotraveling!

Sopot is extremely safe, I have had maybe one incident where I did not feel safe - it was very late at night and I was unfortunate enough to engage in conversation and help a man who was clearly on some type of drugs, who made me feel really uneasy with his strange behaviour Other than that, Sopot is super safe and an overall pleasant city!

I think it is safe compared to other countries. Poland is overall safe but at night there are sometimes drunk and homeless people so you need to be careful. Personally I have never had any dangerous situations but at night I am rarely outside. The city center is always lively and generally safe. Just suburbs and parks are where I advise not to visit at night

There are people with bad intentions everywhere, but overall I would say Kraków is very safe. During the day, there isn’t a single place where I feel threatened. Nothing has ever happened to me at night either, but as a very cautious person, I avoid dimly lit streets and carry pepper spray with me (never had to use it, but since it's completely legal in Poland, why not have it. I also recommend buying special wipes in case you spray yourself). Near the main train station, sometimes you...
