I feel very safe in Gdansk, there is maybe couple places that’s are not grey at night alone but even then nothing ever happen to me or my friends. Public transport is safe, if there is something I would worry about it is only drunk people.
Posted: August 9, 2025I think Gdańsk is a very safe place, I've never experience any unpleasant situation in public and I think it's very tourists- and women-friendly. I'm not worried about visiting any district of the city and in any case, I know it is very easy to get help here.

Gdańsk is a safe city where you can walk alone easily. I don't walk alone at night but I think it's better to be in a group after 10 pm - anyway many things will be closed at this time. Sometimes be careful in the public transport or areas around Orunia/Nowy Port but those are not touristic areas.

I would say that Gdańsk in front of the rest European cities is really safe place. I wouldn’t be worried that much of being murdered, kidnapped or raped. However there is a chance to be sexually harassed - by words and actions, but in dangerous neighborhoods like down town, Orunia, stogi, especially after dark.

I’ve been living here since 2021 and since the very beginning I’m feeling safe. I walk alone in dark, very often use public transport. I’m not worried about wearing skirts etc.
Posted: May 19, 2025I live there since birth and i think its pretty safe. From 6am to 9/10pm i dont even think about dangerous situations. I never had any dangerous situation at night, but after 10pm be vigilant and maybe dont walk alone in the middle of the night. Public transport is very safe and if you want to feel even safer than stand/sit on the front next to the driver ;)

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!
Posted: August 1, 2025I 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 the sea increases the coldness felt incredibly. I have also seen this city in the summer. I definitely recommend you to go there. There will be many activities to do and it will be easier to travel. The people seemed a bit cold to me. Apart from that, we stayed in an Airbnb 15 minutes away from the city center and unfortunately I was not very pleased. Apart from that, Poland is very nice. It is a safe country. I feel safer than I have ever felt in my life. I love it so much with everything. So definitely go there, but I recommend you choose it in the summer.
