How safe is Bydgoszcz?

Nothing bad has ever happened to me when I was at a party or just in the city center late in the evening or at night. Even when I was coming back alone at night, I felt safe on public transport or on the streets.

At night, you only need to avoid Fordon 😅 there, among the normal areas, are those male individuals where even a slight intoxication is enough for them to start bothering you just for the sake of it. I've been here for a short time, but I suspect that sports fans live here.

I think my city is safe. Like in every place there is some risk of danger. Bydgoszcz is not a big city, but it is not small either. It is a peaceful city. In my opinion the nightlife in Bydgoszcz is very small.

Bydgoszcz is very safe. I have been living here for 8 years and never had any stressful or dangerous situation, really. People are chill, I never heard about any kidnap or rape around me, although still you have to beware and always prevent situations like this if you can.

It's better to be cautious during late-night hours and stay away from dark alleyways. All in all, it's kind of safe here. During the daytime, you shouldn't worry about safety. The city is nice in the center, like any city.

Born and raised in Bydgoszcz, there are areas of the city that you don’t and shouldn’t be alone after sundown but if you have common sense and don’t go into dark alleys by yourself at night then you will be fine ;) never experienced anything dangerous even when i was young(er) and careless ;)

Is Bydgoszcz worth visiting?

Couple travel

- I did feel safe, there's a lot of people but everyone's minding their own business - There is a museum of dirt and soap and a water bus, a lot of restaurants - The costs of travelling there is average compared to other cities in Poland - You can go everywhere by bus and by tram. Bolt and Uber are available too. You can also rent a bike or scooter but you have to get a local app to unlock a ride.
