Is Gdansk Safe for Women? Crime Rate in Gdansk

tbh i feel very safe in Gdansk, and i’d say it goes for Poland overall. It’s a safe country. As a woman, I’m not scared going out by myself, even after dark. So, if you’re a woman and thinking of going to Poland alone and wondering if it’ll be safe - you don’t have to worry, it’s safe

Gdańsk is my hometown where I live and study. I took part in two erasmus exchanges (one semester in Munich and the other one in Dortmund). In comparison to this cities ( especially Dortmund which I don’t feel its too safe) I feel like Poland in generally is a quite safe place to live or to visit. Im not worried about going out in the night or being attacked by anyone. I recommend it to everyone!

I think that Poland is generally safe. I've always felt safe in Gdansk and heard many similar opinions. I've been walking even after dark many times and never had any dangerous situations, so Gdansk may be one of the best options.

I think that Gdańsk is a really safe place. Not only for women but for children and men as well. I came here two years ago and I felt safe since the first moment. I am not afraid of walking alone or going out during the night. The public transports are also safe. I like the city and I feel safe here :)

Gdańsk is a pretty safe destination. I’ve never had anything bad happen to me or the people i know. I still wouldn’t walk around by myself very late but that’s just being cautious. Crime rate is low and you shouldn’t be worried when exploring Gdańsk.

There are some places in the city you need to be more careful about your belongings (especially the places with a lot of tourists during the holiday time) but generally it’s quite a safe place. I’ve never been afraid of walking around after sunset.

Gdańsk is overall a safe city. I come back alone from party's using public transport at night. You can find drunk people especially on bus stops in the city center or sometimes in public transport. Usually seats near the driver are safest and the driver has responsibility to kick out people who couse the disturbance, but usually never does it from his own initiative (the driver) so you have to ask for help. You shouldn't leave staff around or bikes without locking it to something, but even if you forgot something there is high possibility that nobody will take it. I don't know a lot about clubs, but I heard than in Bunkier (address Olejarna 3) bar tender added something to the drinks so I will be cautious there. Cat calling is pretty rear, I never experienced it, but you can be approached especially by foreigners on vacations, but usually it doesn't escalate futher then compliments and small talk. But maybe that affects only local women. I recommend using public transport, especially during the day nothing should happen. I hope it helps:)

Gdansk is a very safe city, although there are places on its map where I would prefer to see police cars or city guard patrols more often. In addition, it is a very touristy place during the summer, so use common sense.

Gdansk is a very safe city in Poland. I do everything alone, like waking late at night and going anywhere. Of course I’m always aware being a woman, but I never had a situation that I felt unsafe! I really recommend Gdańsk for women :)

After one year living in Gdańsk I can say that it is very safe I am always going alone to the train or bus station at 3 or 4am not dangerous at all French people who are living here say that it is safer than Paris

Couple travel

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 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.

Group travel

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;)
