At night, you only need to avoid Fordon š 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.
Posted: March 9, 2025I 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.
Posted: February 12, 2025It'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 donāt and shouldnāt be alone after sundown but if you have common sense and donāt 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 ;)

Bydgoszcz is a generally safe city with low crime rates (22.4 per 1,000 residents). Key concerns include traffic accidents, theft, and domestic violence, but most residents feel secure in their neighborhoods.
Posted: January 18, 2025Bydgoszcz is a generally safe city for female tourists. Crime rates are super low, with violent crimes being even more rare. Petty crimes like can occur, but theyāre uncommon, especially in central areas like the Old Town, Mill Island, and along the Brda River - which is live nearby. :-) Most neighborhoods are safe in comparison with the other European countries Iāve been to (mainly all western side: France, Uk, Germany, Italy etc.) The areas, particularly around train stations or poorly lit streets at night might be moderately less safe tho. Public transportation is reliable, on time most of the time, very cheap and most importantly safe. I suggest to keep an eye on oneās belongings during peak hours. Police presence is visible in the more high-traffic and tourist zones, which helps maintain security on high levels. Roads (there are also many pedestrian zones) are well-maintained, but Iād advise to be cautious when crossing streets. If anything happens itās best to dial 112 for the emergency unit to come over. To stay safe it is always best to avoid displaying valuables, never drink in a public place which is other than a restaurant or alcohol non restricted place (one can pay a fine, its illegal to drink in public places) ā¦ also drink responsibly in bars, and its better to stick to the well-lit areas at night. Overall, Bydgoszcz is a rather secure environment for visitors, and definitely an enjoyable city to explore.
Posted: January 9, 2025Bydgoszcz is very safe; dangerous situations rarely occur, so I recommend everyone to visit this city. I have lived here since birth, and there is no need to be afraid on the streets. I do recommend avoiding dark alleys.

Hi! My nameās Elwira, and since last year Iāve been really enjoying my solo trips. Iām very flexible and can easily adapt to any circumstances. I like to talk, but Iām also fine with staying quiet if needed ā whatever works! š Apart from being a student of linguistics, Iām also a lawyer. I can communicate fluently in Polish, Russian, and English, and I know a bit of Ukrainian and French as well. This winter, Iām super excited to explore the North! (Norway, Denmark, Sweden, Latvia). Iām also planning to visit the UK, including Edinburgh and the Shetland Islands. Oh, I also love discovering new places and meeting interesting people along the way! ā¤ļø
