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.

Gdynia

It is very safe in Gdynia. I don’t feel any sense of danger here at all, and people are very kind. I have never heard of any thefts or dangerous situations, and I have been living here for 5 years. I really like this city

Olsztyn

Olsztyn, is in my opinion a very safe place. You don’t really see serious crimes, fights, or dangerous situations, and there aren’t specific areas where you have to be extra careful about things like theft. People are generally helpful and friendly. Not everyone speaks English, so occasionally someone older might not be very open toward foreigners, but younger people usually speak English well and are easy to communicate with.

Lublin

A very safe city, nothing bad has ever happened to me here There are pushy people, but there are not many of them and they often give up when they don't see any interest People are helpful, you have nothing to fear
