How safe is Poland for solo female travelers?

Travel safety index

4.7 /5

Warsaw, Solo travel

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.

Zakopane, Family travel

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!)

Krakow, Solo travel

I’d say I felt mostly safe because I stayed at a female only hostel. But i also enjoyed the nightlife and everyone was very respectful even though i was sadly dangerously intoxicated:( (was having a bad day)

Wroclaw

50/50 The city is nice outside ugly inside. A lot of rats and not only as animals expensive when it comes to the center but a lot of hidden gems among tenement houses. The station is cool. Shopping mall vroclavia not cool.

Warsaw

For me, Warsaw has felt safe and comfortable to live in. I can walk around the city, explore new neighborhoods, and just enjoy the atmosphere without really worrying. People are respectful, the streets feel calm, and there’s a sense of order that makes it easy to relax and settle in. It’s the kind of place where you can live your life normally and feel at ease doing it.

Wroclaw

Wroclaw is really safe place to be; the only thing you have to ba aware is pickpokets in the buses :) If you are scared of drunk people, stay away from Ruska street and Rynek at night, especially during weekend. But those drunk people are harmless, its just they make noise

About me

Hiii! I'm extremely bad when it comes to the "about me" section 😄 Recently I've been trying to motivate myself to travel and meet new people. I find it a little bit difficult. For almost 2 years I've been working in a TV corporation and I feel my life sparkle is disappearing. That's why I'm pushing to refind excitement in my life. I would love to meet some amazing people here, exchange experiences or just have a good time
