I was at Gdańsk with my boyfriend. We spend great time walking through the center. We were at the mall, bought few things. In the end we went to play pool. Gdańsk have one in center. By the time we ate some delicious food so I deffinetly recommend Gdańsk. There is also a beautiful beach nearby!

I lived in Warsaw, Poland for 1 year and had the opportunity to visit many cities. Gdansk is a city by the sea among the Polish cities. The city is very beautiful, especially if you like the structure of the cities in Northern Europe and the old towns. Compared to other European cities, Londonia is cheaper. The currency is Zloty and it is a cheaper city than the capital Warsaw. But I went there with a friend in December and it was incredibly cold. Since it is by the sea, the wind coming from...

Poland is in my opinion very safe country. Gdansh is beautiful city full of galleries, pubs, caffes and people there mind their own business. I had no problem with anything. Olny there are no shops open after 8pm, which i am not used to, but if you buy food for breakfast during the day, you are safe;)

This was my first solo travel in the age of 18. I booked an very cheap hostel with single room but shared bathroom. The room was really ok but the bathroom stinked so much :D Mostly I experienced nature. My favorite activity was to walking by the see with my foot in the water ale looking into sea.

Overall a safe place, though there might sometimes be some people that are just mentally unstable or alcoholics. Some polish people have negative opinions about LGBTQ+ people, so its best to avoid them. I might also stay away from less populated parts of the city where you could find yourself alone.
Posted: May 11, 2026Better to walk in popular areas at night, I hate Orunia and zakoniczyn, overall during the day it's fine. U should be safe with company. The safest areas that I know personally are Wrzeszcz and city centre
Posted: April 12, 2026I live and Gdańsk and I can say that it is one of the safest cities I’ve been in Europe. You can go out easily alone at night and feel safe & no one should approach you if you don’t want to. Also no pickpockets
Posted: April 7, 2026Loved it, never experienced any issues walking at night near the city centre or any of the outer areas. I looked at a man weird and he apologised for creeping me out and crossed the street. Looking forward to returning
